PARIS Nov 11, 2005 — Police tightened security in central Paris on Friday with riot forces and bomb squads along the Champs-Elysees, and angry residents of riot-torn suburbs staged a sit-in Friday near the Eiffel Tower, calling for an end to more than two weeks of arson and vandalism across France.

That's right! And if that doesn't work they'll escalate to a "lie down".

Don't ya just love it when the target sits still for ya!?
Sweet mercy...the French really are clueless, aren't they?
