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.

Somebody call in AI quick! We don't want any human rights violations going on. Tear gassing those poor rioters and what not. Oh the horrors.

Two Mosques were attacked the other night... So now the anti-muslim factor will be adding heat for the fire.
Civil war factors IMHO...

This could be just the tip of the iceberg...I've heard France is trying to suppress any "unfavorable" news reports.

Do you know of any webcams in France? It was really something watching the webcam in Baghdad before the war.

No, I am not exaggerating. Click the pic, go to "last," and read backwards.
If you are not informed about this stuff, you will be made sick. If you are informed, you will be made mad, all over again.
Then, there is this little problem...

Lyon has always been riper for this than even Paris imo.

Hey Chirac,
This time don't call on the U.S. to help you out.
After the way the French treated us, I hope they burn.

Can't wait for the Germany/France soccer game slated for later today.... why...are German and French youths(real French and German blood)going to riot after the soccer game for more government handouts???..what's your point with your statement?
To: timsbella
These idiots should be firing more than tear gas.
To: timsbella
ok..excuse me...didn't understand your post before going and looking at your posting history of the French riots...my bad....
To: Shaun_MD
Speaking of which, Amnesty International should have been all over France for the way they've been treating their muzzie population all this time. I wonder why they haven't. Hmmm.

"I keep trying to muster sympathy to no avail...."
Just think of a little, three year old girl, helpless as a lamb. Did she vote? Did she cause this mess? But then again, when I think of some 45 year old socialist adulterer with "Chirac 2020" posters outside his house, I'm back to tweaking again.
