I guess they won't host the Olympics any time soon.

France's national police chief said Sunday that the country's worst rioting since the 1960s seemed to be nearing an end, but violence persisted into the night, with at least two schools set on fire and dozens of cars torched.
European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso proposed that the European Union give $58 million to France for helping riot-hit towns recover. He said the EU could make up to $1.2 billion available in longer-term support.
In scattered attacks overnight into Monday, vandals rammed a car into a primary school in the southern city of Toulouse before setting the building on fire and burned cars in northeastern Strasbourg. In northern France, arsonists set fire to a sports center in the suburb of Faches-Thumesnil and a school in the town of Halluin.

More copycat attacks were registered in neighboring countries Sunday, with 29 vehicles torched in Belgium, four cars burned in the Dutch city of Rotterdam, and two cars burned in the Swiss town of Martigny.

"Youths" and "vandals" still at it.
It would seem so

Many of those taking part in the riots in France are young Muslims. Their actions, and the condition of Muslim communities in France generally, were the subject of much discussion in the Arab and Muslim worlds, where opinion seemed mostly, but not entirely, sympathetic to the rioters.

Good read

Youth gangs, overwhelmingly French-born and Muslim, have engaged in a nation-wide rampage that by November 8 had burned 5,000 vehicles, a few schools, kindergartens, police stations, shopping malls, and post offices. Police officers have been wounded and an older man beaten to death. Some 800 individuals have been arrested and a curfew locally imposed to stem this anomic wave of gang violence that is spreading all over France -- and beyond. But the riots increasingly and alarmingly suggest that Islamist radicals see criminality as an opportunity for recruitment, while the criminals see Islam as a legitimizer.
There are gangs, and there are Gangs...

As the French mobs moved through the streets, nothing was safe: Schools, hospitals, gymnasiums, homes, cars, trucks, busses, businesses, warehouses, churches, synagogues even people.
I think Ms Simpson forgets we still have the second ammendment in this country.

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, correlate with some of our own problems:

Pogrom's coming.
"Their anger has been fanned into flames by preaching of jihad in militant mosques. "
We have the same demonic supremacist screechings in our mosques. America must wake up.
Are they looting?
I have not found that in the articles I've read..I haven't found "muslim" mentioned in most of the articles I've read either..so who knows?
FNC has been covering the story, but I would like to see DAILY interviews with Parisians about the situation.
Those who favor massive immigration and globalist policies should look at Fance. if you allow poor immigrants in to do low wage jobs...it could happen here.
If they're still rioting that will be mostly ignored and Chirac will be praised for his enlightened handling of the crisis.
There have definitely been some press reports of looting in France - but since there is NEVER ANY LIVE COVERAGE of the rioting, and even pictures, let alone video, are very difficult to find, it's hard to know how much. We know that numerous retail shops and warehouses, including at least 2 "super-stores" have been torched.
The French heavily covered Hurricane Katrina, with Americans in New Orleans begging for food and water. We should be doing the exact same thing to them.
Yup. As I've said before, clearly terrorist operatives around the world, but particularly in the mideast, must be viewing these developments as fertile ground in which to finally grow the seeds of organized terror such that they can open a western front in the war.
