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.

Q: How many Frenchmen does it take to defend Paris?
A: Nobody knows. They have never tried.
Then switch the old punch line “...Because Germans like to march in the shade...”
To “...Because moslems like to sodomize goats in the shade...”
You know of course that throat boots are reserved for capitalist pigs, not the "working class" youths.
“Youths”. LOL.
A casino just across the Swiss border from France was robbed in March. A group of masked, French-speaking gunmen, some carrying machineguns, escaped with the loot in two cars bearing French license plates.
Until there were subsequent casino robberies and the cops shot this guy, there was nothing to suggest that the perps were "Asian".
I don’t know if there is a capitalist left in France. Just union workers who will fork over more extortion money to the state to try to bribe the “youths” to stop burning down the cities.
RoP strikes again.
Nope, don’t agree. I think the French won’t give a fig what the rest of the world thinks and they will be as brutal as the Chinese. The media will merely look the other way.
Certainly they'll all convert and start handing out the banned headscarves.
And slums are the suburban ghettos made up of god awful commie block housing. Far from the city center or areas where the elites live.
Amish, I believe. Was there not a recent mass migration of the Amish to France?
< /s>
Chances are no.
"Asian" is Euro code speak for MUSLIM.
More migrating Amish I guess....
That's a great question. It would be fun to pose it to the writer of the article and watch him stumble around for an answer.
LOL — love that cartoon.
Please! Stop already with the Amish thing. It’s stale and it defames a righteous people. Thank you.
I’m wondering what term they’ll go on to when ‘youths’ becomes too obvious and non-PC to use. The left sure has an amazing ability to rename thing. What used to be socialized medicine is now called healthcare reform. What used to be called maniacal jihadists are now angry youths. Maybe they’ll call them peace activists or something next.
Exactly!
