Hundreds of Cars Torched in France at New Year
Fri Jan 1, 2010 PARIS (Reuters) - Youths burned 1,137 cars across France overnight as New Year's Eve celebrations once again turned violent, the French Interior Ministry said on Friday. Car burnings are regular occurrences in poor suburbs that ring France's big cities, but the arson is especially prevalent during New Year's Eve revelry.
The number of vehicles torched was only 10 short of the record 1,147 burned this time last year, even though the Interior Ministry mobilized 45,000 police during the night -- 10,000 more than 12 months ago.

"Reuters makes it sound like burning cars on New Years is a time-honored French tradition..."
That's because Reuters is owned by Brits. In their fantasies of being Lawrence of Arabia, they like to reassign the blame for misdeeds done by their favorite trading partners. ;-)

algore is demanding a recountAl may be on to something - there appears to be some uncertainty surrounding just how many cars were torched by a yewt known as the "flaming Chad" - a muslim immigrant from the country of Chad.

V-man..I understand why God made cockroaches, and I even understand why He made leaches BUT, why on earth did He make muzzies?
There's just no logic to it.

I don’t think God made Muzzies. Satan’s servants went out and converted them.

Hundreds of Cars Torched in France at New Year
It's the new jobs creation scheme of the French.
Torch thousands of cars, the owners have to replace them, the automobile factories have to build new cars for those looking to replace the torched cars, and Presto!, people either have to be hired to build the cars or get to keep their old jobs. Could work in Detroit too.
