Do burning cars count as "chatter"?

They are running out of cars to burn, so they are now burning schools and retirement homes.

How exactly is burning schools and retirement homes a de-escalation?

3 months? LMAO. I've always told the Left we had two choices 1) drain the swamp in the ME or 2) turn out nation into a police state. Thanks for the assist Chirac.

That is a pretty ineffectual "State of Emergency" if that many cars are still being torched and that many months are expected to bring it to an end.

What a gay country.

France's four levels of emergency:

Level 1) Run
Level 2) Hide
Level 3) Collaborate
Level 4) Surrender

The French Federation of Insurance Companies gave a preliminary estimate for the total damage from the rioting — up to $234 million

In a country the size of France, that's the equivilent of $1.2 billion if it were here in the USA. Not a tiny sum.

That's approaching "hurricane damage" levels.

The emergency measures empower regions to impose curfews on minors, conduct house searches and take other steps to prevent unrest.

Sounds quite a bit more draconian than our own USA PATRIOT Act. Do you hear any squawking from the left about how France is now a police state and how de Villepin is a fascist? Me neither.

When a country can no longer maintain internal order, it ceases to be country. That is axiomatic. We are seeing the collapse of France into a mere geopolitical concept with no substance, a country only in the sense that Bosnia or Somalia are countries.

I suspect it's the latter.

"A French person who carried out a crime or a misdemeanor in France cannot be treated in one way while a foreigner with papers in order is treated in another," he told Europe-1 radio. "It's not possible."

And why can't a foreigner be treated differently? Particularly a foreigner involved in a violent riot? Hey, don't we all burn cars when we go overseas? };-)
