Setup a street with a bunch of cars on each side, snipers with night vision on the roofs... evacuate residents from buildings quietly.

Drop anyone setting fire to anything...

Rinse, repeat....

It will soon end..

If the muzzies tried to torch cars/trucks around here there would be a bunch of bleeding muzzies. Dead or alive.

There was a spate of broken plate glass windows in downtown Chicago a number of years ago where the police started getting suspicious when the same guy from the same board up service kept showing up just as they did. In those days, the first guy there usually got the job.

So, Chicago’s Finest decided to look inside and - lo and behold! - what did they find but a Wrist Rocket (high-powered slingshot) and a bag of ball bearings.

Nothing like a little proactive marketing...

Tar and feathers may be appropriate though the French government might get immediate results by declaring arsonists will be shot on sight for the act of arson on New Years.

If it were ordinary cultural Frenchmen doing it, that might actually be considered, but the biggest problem is that this is jihadists doing it and they are evil with a supernatural evil and France is spiritually powerless being almost all atheistic.

"According to the French interior ministry, the total of 945, "

Could have been worst. Could have been 946.

The perps are identified as “vandals” and “disaffected youths”. EVeryone knows they were Islamic Arabs. Why not say so? :(

Yepper! They don’t pay any insurance on their vehicles, just try to be damaged by those who do carry insurance.

According to the French interior ministry, the total of 945, which included cars that were either "totally destroyed" or "more lightly affected", amounted to a 17 per cent rise compared to last year.

Despite this, New Year's Eve "went off without any major incident", the interior ministry insisted in a statement, adding that there were only "a few troubles with public order",

So at what point do we call France a failed state?

The French are choosing to play down the significance of the chaos rather than take the necessary actions to deal with the miscreants destroying property. This in my mind demonstrates that the government of France no longer meets the definition of a functioning government.

You’re right...It’s a shame the French can’t organize another Maquis patterned after their WWII group.

Maybe most of France’s cars are only worth half a horse?

Having had both a Peugeot and a Renault, I'd say maybe that much...
