940 cars were set on fire across France by frenzied revellers as they welcomed the arrival of the New Year, according to Frances Interior Ministry.
The wave of arson - part of a bizarre and dangerous tradition frequently reported in mass celebrations as well as protests in the country - was actually a 12% improvement on last years New Years festivities when 1,067 cars were set ablaze....
Pierre-Henry Brandet, spokesperson for the Interior Ministry told French broadcaster BFM-TV that the car burning was most frequent in eastern France, as well as in the suburbs of Paris, particularly in the banlieues (ghettos) of Seine-Saint-Denis, which were the epicentre of riots protesting police brutality in 2005 resulting in the torching of more than 10,000 cars.

That Seine-Saint-Denis must be a MUST GO ZONE....so let's drop off some liberals in that area.

Is this one of the “no-go zones” that Fox News is going to be sued for mentioning?

IF those torching cars knew they risked getting shot by car owners, there’d be a lot fewer burnt cars.

The non existent no go zones that Fox is being sued over as a slur? I think the meant slum

They have a "Devil's Night" in Detroit (the night before Halloween) where they torch houses. This must be the Muslim equivalent.
But then again, every night is "Devil's Night" for Muslims...
