940 Cars Torched in France in New Year Celebrations ["in the (ghettos) of Seine-Saint-Denis"]
Newsweek ^ | January 2, 2015 | Damien Sharkov

940 cars were set on fire across France by frenzied revellers as they welcomed the arrival of the New Year, according to France’s 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 year’s New Year’s 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.

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

Down 12% because there were less cars than last year.

And his anger burns
So he starts to roam the streets at night
And he learns how to steal and he learns how to fight
...In the ghetto

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...
