The leave turn, the cool brisk mornings,,,,it's RIOT TIME!

Yes its riot season in France. Kinda like the swallows coming back to Capistrano, the young, mostly Muslim youth come out in the fall to throw gasoline bombs at the police, burn parked cars and set fire to occupied transit busses.

Riot police reinforcements have been deployed in Marseilles after the latest outbreak of urban violence in France left a woman in a critical condition with life-threatening burns.

The President, Jacques Chirac, expressed his horror over the attack, hours after the woman, 26, and three other people were ambushed by rioting teenagers while travelling on a bus in the southern port city on Sunday night.

The assailants, who some witnesses said were as young as 15, forced the doors of the bus open, spilled flammable liquid inside, and set it alight. There were similar attacks in cities across the country at the weekend, the anniversary of the start of rioting and car-burning that brought terror to cities last year.

Ah, the paradise of socialism. Where do I sign up?


Spilled flammable liquid? What a load of crap. Why can't the reporter just give me the facts? These criminal scumbags didn't 'spill' flammable liquid, they doused the inside of the bus with gasoline and set it on fire and may have burned a woman to death.

I am sure the French will surrender soon.
