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.
