MARSEILLE, France — France's interior minister sent extra riot police to patrol the southern port city of Marseille on Sunday after a group of marauding teenagers torched a bus, seriously burning a young passenger.

French police have braced for a surge of violence this weekend, as Friday was the first anniversary of the start of riots in poor neighborhoods where many immigrants and their French-born children live.

In scattered violence Saturday, 46 people were taken into custody, most of them in the suburbs around Paris, and two police officers were slightly injured. The most serious violence was the bus attack in Marseille, which shocked France with its brutality.

the report makes it sound as if the other attacks weren't particularly serious because the "passengers managed to flee." But why should French bus riders have to be prepared to flee for their lives? Doesn't the French government feel it has some responsibility to protect the citizens

In a word, NO.

TROP needs to try this around here. We don't have many busses, but an amazing number of cars have armed drivers and/or passengers. That was true even when it was illegal...now it's not. :) Such attempts would certainly cut down on the number of Jihadies.

As well as the day the "youths" get all jacked-up while attending Mosque.
