Police in the French city of Lyon have fired tear gas to break up groups of youths who hurled stones and bins hours before a curfew was due to begin.
Police on the city's famous Place Bellecour square made two arrests in what state news agency AFP says is the first rioting in a major city centre.

"Most of these 'immigrants' seem to consider assimilation to be 'cultural rape' and have no desire to conform to the laws and customs of their host countries but seek instead only Islamic law and society." Any serious Christian could tell you there is passion beyond the imagination when one is a believer.
I suppose this is why the Christian US understands that islamics will spread their religion at all costs. The difference is of course that Christians have stopped crusading and Islam has not. Islam will continue to spread it's religion through violence and conquest.
Face it..France has lost it's Christianity and will soon be gone to islam.

Riots were always over quickly in the old days. The militia would be called out. The Commander would "read them The Riot Act," and give the crowd 5 minutes to disperse. The Riot Act authorized the use of deadly force to suppress a riot.
After five minutes, shots were fired if necessary and the riot would be over.
Some colonists tried to jail two British officers in Boston for firing on a crowd of rioters. John Quincy Adams defended them, successfully.

Was this the famous "Boston Massacre"?
