It is now getting dark in Paris and in all of France(appx. 6:40 PM Paris Time), and if there are any French FR lurkers(lurquers), this may be the thread to post your reports about any further violence.
It seems the French govt. is impotent in it's response to what seems are jihadist thugs and it seems the American media has put a news blackout filter to what is really happening, so as not to embarass their heroes, Chirac et al.
So any news reports or personal reports from what happens tonight are welcome, and don't worry about broken English, reports in French are welcome also, I have no doubt someone can translate.
I really dread putting up a live thread about such a matter, but it seems that the American MSM is following French govt. orders to play down to what it seems is an insurrection.
This mess in FR is a wake up call for Europe,it will have to reach 9/11 and worse to awaken the french...I think the Germans will kick butt and make a difference in the EU
Sorry to take so long. Went for a walk with hubby in my nice free (so far) country, the good ol' USA.
Thank you for the info about the underground. I did not know about the French Indochina war. Or I was not paying attention in class. I do remember Ho Chi Minh living in France, and that brings us back to John Kerry and the French Connection. Weird. Very Weird.
My brother lived in Ville for 10 years. Stationed with the United States Navy. He is fluent. I'm sure this upsets him. He made a lot of wonderful friends there.
C'est Domage!
Will we break last's night record of 897?
I'll take a 6-pack that the record falls tonight.
Appx. 2:30 AM there in Paris and all of France. About 4 hours to sunrise.
Last reported total was 607...
It is possible. Could be that since these knotheads killed a photographer; the rest are not itching to go into hotzones. Until they can coordinate with the insurgent leadership. It still makes socialism look bad either way. And that is counter to the agenda.

But Chirac is ecstatic, because he just saved a bundle on his car insurance.
viscomte13, who insists that Muslims have integrated into French society and everything runs smoothly in France. Which reminds me, viscomte13 has been strangely absent on all these posts about the intifada in France.
This is within Paris proper. An ominous new development for sure.
There is a movie on AMC that has two middle eastern looking men hijacking a plan and wanting the names of the Jews. I don't know the name of the movie but I saw Chuck Norris. I guess he is going to save the day. Sometimes I wonder if it was okay to make MIddle Easternerss out to be the bad guys in the past but now that we have more proof of it we now have to go PC and call them Youths or some other PC term.
"This is within Paris proper. An ominous new development for sure."
I agree especially if somebody's using a flamethrower.
The 3rd Arrondissement, hard to be much closer to the center of Paris.
PMF
Im coming late to the story-I thought the number of cars torched were over the last 10 days, not in one night!
I wonder how long it will be before the "youths" get a hold of some AK-47's or RPG-7's or similar weapons...
Chirac fiddles, while the French fry.
I'm sure the total has easily surpassed 2,000 vehicles, not to mention schools, houses, businesses, etc.
Yep you are correct. I wonder if that is the Arrondisement of the Elysee palace(French White House).
