1. MacDonalds I don't have a problem with...
But city buses and a nursery school? Yeah, we know you're pissed but take it out on a nursery school? Not feeling too much sympathy.

Hope the riot police did something about those assclowns.

2. I agree, there is no excuse for this senseless violence
Especially againnst the children and people's businesses. All those found guilty of this crime should lose their citizenship in France.

4.  The more they destroy the less sympathy they will get..
The rioting isn't about a "cause" anymore,if it ever was,it's just plain vandalism and destruction.

The mob mentality is a very frightening thing.

5. Two Cents
Not all Arabs are Muslims and not all Muslims are Arab. Methinks you didn't mean to caption this with a slur against a religion, and so I hope you change the caption.

I've read several reports on the rioting. The activities aren't exclusive to Franco-Algerian youths, though, from these accounts, that's the group that committed the initial acts of property destruction in response to some aggresssive police activity.

I've also read that since the initial rioting that there are now several "groups" engaging in and committing same--including skinheads.

Cynical thought...
You know, if I owned a failing business in Paris, or if I was broke and needed some quick cash, and I didn't have much scruples, now would be the perfect time to torch my business or my home or my car for the insurance money.
