GRENOBLE, France (AFP) -

Rioters exchanged gunfire with police in the French city of Grenoble early Saturday, setting fire to shops and cars after police shot dead a man accused of robbing a casino.

Youths torched between 50 and 60 cars in the southeastern French city, as well as construction equipment and two shops, while police said they made five arrests.

Interior Minister Brice Hortefeux was to visit the city Saturday afternoon, his ministry said.

The rioting started after a memorial service for 27-year-old Karim Boudouda, who died 24 hours earlier in a shootout with police after allegedly holding up the Uriage-les-Bains casino near Grenoble.

Shortly before midnight, a group of around 30 youths armed with baseball bats and iron bars attacked a tram in Boudouda's working class district of La Villeneuve and forced the passengers to get out.

Barbarians are beginning to take over the civilized world. This always happens when civilizations get soft and lazy. Many times men are willing to fight for what they want and don’t have but not for what they do have.

I'm waiting on pins and needles to see if those angry Amish yoots will try and break their record of 10,000 carbecues in one month.

Aren’t the French supposed to be breaking out the surrender flags pretty soon?

Ah, all the key words - “rioters, youth, etc etc.”

Then the truth is revealed by the name of the killed perp.

Why don’t the French police just call it “sharia justice” and call it a day.

They can always claim that the perp had a pic of the child molester profit and had to kill him.

Good reason to start the mass deportations.

Oops, I’ve had an “Obama Moment”. That’s “prophet”, not “profit”.

Just call me a progressive. :-)

This is no time for them to be acting like barbarians. The French are known to only take so much and then they will be brutal. They’ll have no qualms about loading these guys up on a boat and casting them out to sea......and then quietly sinking the ship.

'asian' has nothing to do with geographic origin.

It does in England, where it is used and where the Muslims are from Pakistan, which is well and truly planted in Asia.

... Youths ...

How long before the word "youth" has to be replaced because of negative connotations accreting onto it like barnacles on Moby Dick's butt.

I think it means that they don’t actually work, but they’ve been preparing for it for quite a while; they go to working class.

Naturally now we’ll watch as French “authorities” bow and scrape to Islamic terrorists and other Muslim thugs throughout the nation.

Oh yes. There will be muslims in shootouts until there are no more muslims. Or until there are only muslims. Choice is coming to your door, gentlemen..
