Wait a minute here.

"In Grigny, south of the capital, a gang of around 200 youths are reported to have lured police into a housing estate before opening fire with hunting rifles. At least 30 officers were injured, two seriously with lead pellets in the legs and neck."

BB guns? I mean, I read the word, "hunting rifles" and thought, "Oh man, it's hitting the fan." Called my mom. She sat at the couch, listening. Then I find they were shot with pellets? Europe. [Snort.]

"BB guns?"

It was a shotgun, from long distance.

They are using shotguns on the police - being reported in the MSM as "bird shot" or "fine grained pellets" - which is correct in a twisted MSM "fake but accurate" kind of way - a spray of shotgun pellets at closer range will blow someone's head off . . .

French police holds a shotgun shell recovered after they were shot upon in Grigny, south of Paris on the 11th night of violence late November 6, 2005. France's urban riots reached a new peak in their 10th night as petrol bombings spread from Paris's run-down suburbs to the centre of the capital and began to unnerve neighbouring countries. President Jacques Chirac summoned his security, social affairs and finance ministers to an emergency meeting at 1700 GMT to plot a response after 1,300 vehicles were destroyed in the latest night of chaos -- a new high.
