Paris - Riots in France's poor city suburbs appeared to be spiralling out of control on Monday after the worst night of violence to date, in which more than 30 police were injured and 1 400 cars burnt across the country.

"The shockwave has spread from Paris to the provinces," said Michel Gaudin, director-general of the national police.

For an 11th night in a row youths predominantly from France's large Arab-Muslim minority rampaged through their out-of-town neighbourhoods, setting fire to vehicles, businesses and public buildings and attacking police with stones and other projectiles.

Police figures showed that 1 408 vehicles were destroyed overnight - more than previous record of 1 300 on Saturday - and 395 people arrested. Most of the cars - nearly 1 000 - were targeted in towns and cities outside Paris, reflecting the way the violence has spread from its original flashpoint.

Some folks have mentioned the "remake" of DAWN OF THE DEAD.

I disagree. This is looking more and more like CONQUEST OF THE PLANET OF THE APES. The movie where Caeser organizes resistance and eventually complete takeover from the establishment.

A very real danger when there are more rioting than policing..

Chirac the Incorruptible, there is an insurrection in the Vendee. Shall we prepare the National Razor, or would you rather take a page from Louis XVI and flee the country?

[FairOpinion]

And when Chirac gets really mad, he will call for calm three times in one sentence. And will be terribly surprised, when it doesn't work.

Do you think they're pondering that question in the commmie newsrooms?

No, they are wondering when they can claim the "riots" are being caused spotaneously by global warming and would not be happening if Bush had signed that Kyoto thing.

[metmom]

That's funny. I was just thinking of the Planet of the Apes series, too.

[Bonaparte]

Caused by the Iraq invasion? But, but a few days ago the media were saying these "riots" arise from discrimination, unemployment and poverty. Gee, I'm so confused.

To most people, North Africans does not immediately make you think of muzzies.

Shows what bigots the liberal MSM commies really are. They try to paint Bush as the racist, but jump at the chance to blame it on the Black man before they will utter the word "Muslim".

You don't create a bomb factory in two days, take it from there

Good point.

[Mr_Moonlight]

So at what point do we stop calling it a "riot" and start calling it what it really is?

Another wave of jihad since the 1972 Olympics ?

Cindy Sheehan must be hiding out in Paris someplace.

Exactly.

"Is there such a thing as a controlled riot?"


There's a "Quiet Riot".

[Lijahsbubbe]

What I'm saying is that it's not hard to coordinate when you're all on the same page.

There's a "Quiet Riot".

"...of the Frenchman crying when the Nazis marched into Paris."

That photo was taken as the crowd watched DeGaulle flee France.

"I don't understand. Chirac "called for calm".
I think it's time for some serious curfews."

After Katrina I don't trust what I''m hearing.
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Trust.....this story wasn't covered by the media for the first five days, and then was played down and covered up. This is the anti-katrina for the media. This has been an internet blogosphere story from the inception. The only accurate reports are here, and those reports indicate a muslim attempted take over of enclaves in France which will be ruled by muslim sharia. 12 days of uninterrupted violence is not a riot, its a revolt. its worse than you think......be prepared.

They'll go to the United Nations for permission first.
