...after nearly two weeks of rioting that began in neglected and impoverished suburban neighborhoods...

These liberal writers make me sick!

Rioters defied a state of emergency that took effect Wednesday, as they looted and burned two superstores, set fire to a newspaper office and paralyzed France's second-largest city's subway system with a firebomb. However, the number of car burnings — a barometer for the unrest — dropped sharply, suggesting the movement lost steam.

What the heck kind of logic is that? They try to blow up a subway but because fewer cars were burned it's getting better. :()

Have the French police managed to arrest ANYBODY?

They arrest, they don't convict, they release.

Plus, due to laws of economics, the "car supply" is probably getting pretty scarce now - therefore, each one burned has a marinally increasing value.

I notice that you can get great rates on tour packages to Paris.

Myself, I prefer the casino in Vegas. Cleaner, smells better, speaks English, better food and wine, friendlier and more competent.

Old description..."insurgents".

When did car burnings become the official barometer for measuring riots?

"They arrest, they don't convict, they release."

I've heard that "Catch and Release Programs" work....wait, that was for fish.

In a related release from Chirac's office: Police officers were given orders allowing them to raise their voices when dealing with the "youths."

Are we ready to learn anything yet? In spite of a wish to gloat over France's agony (and oh, how I wish to), we had better turn to our "better angels" and pay close attention to what is happening. Do we imagine it can't happen here? Did we ever believe 9-11 could?
We are in a WAR and the left can ignore it as long as it likes (no one EVER accused a leftist of being smart), but THAT is a fact.
This has NOTHING to do with "racism", "poverty" or any OTHER excuse the left wants to give these barbarians- it is about their absolute contempt of the West and its people.
Make no mistake- these savages will kill you, your children, your dog and anyone else you care about. And it WON'T be because of money. It will BE because they HATE you- bottom line.
Are we ready for Paris-like riots in OUR cities? It's coming and don't delude yourselves. And THIS old country girl is sick to DEATH of leftist whining about "diversity", Islam as a "religion of peace"(check your history- it never HAS been), and political correctness.
I hope any extremists keep THIS in mind- WE are NOT the "government" as you know it- WE are the government, the heart and the soul of this country and if our paid government "plays France", you WILL deal with the REST of us.

Is this a joke?? They burned down two Supercenters, a newspaper ofice and the damned subway but its getting better because they ran out of cars to burn?

Now they are calling them French youths instead of Islamic black terrorists. On another thread there is a list of appeasement entitlements they have given out. The French wont be French much longer.

This has gone beyond rioting and has become an insurgency. It’s time to put away the clubs and shields, bring in the military and start shooting to kill. Kill as many of them as you can. Surround entire neighborhoods with the military and go door to door and raid each dwelling. Kill anyone who resists arrest or is caught rioting and then deport those left who don't speak fluent French. Deport every Imam. Close down every mosque. And last but not least. Close the border to immigration.

So after 2 weeks, the rioters are starting to get bored. Next, they'll be looking for bigger thrills, and watch out!

Meanwhile after 2 weeks, a declared "state of emergency". HELLOOOOO! The state of emergency started on the first night, 2 weeks ago.
