I sure hope America is paying attention to where liberal immigration laws lead. I don’t remember reading about this kind of lawlessness in France 20 years ago. But maybe in a few years we’ll be reading about it happening right here.

Les Parisiens adorent bien à flamber leurs voitures, non? Peut-être ils préféreraient à marcher partout? :)

Tiens, peut-être c’est pourquoi les voitures en France sont tellement petite . . . ils sont plus économique à remplacer quand “les jeunes” les flambent.

372 burning cars on New Year’s Eve is progress? I think there were less cars burned in Iraq last year.

Parisians sure love to burn cars, huh? Maybe they’d prefer to walk everywhere?

Maybe that’s why the cars are so small; they’re cheaper to replace when “the youths” burn them.

Police had stepped up their presence on French streets in anticipation of the year-end celebrations and the sale of petrol in cans was banned in some places.

Wouldn’t BURNING cars increase global warming? C’est bizarre!

Well, no. The gases given off by burning cars are considerably less than those of driving the car over a period of time.

Is burning cars France’s version of our graffiti artists?

The graffiti blight is all over Europe as here. Unlike most people, I’ve actually talked to the “graffiti artists”, and graffiti is as lunatic a religious activity as jihad. We need to make an example of some “graffiti artists” by castrating them while anesthetized. (I strongly oppose torture.) Castration would be make them objects of mockery and would stop the attractions of the graffiti cult.

I dunno.

Vandals torched 372 cars as France celebrated the New Year, down on the figure last year after a night the police described as “relatively calm.”

Cars are burned fairly regularly in France and the image of vehicles in flames in poor suburbs became symbolic of riots in 2005 when angry youths set fire to thousands of cars.

There is usually an increase in the number of cars torched on New Year’s Eve compared to other days of the year.

“The night was relatively calm, without notable incident, there were very few direct clashes with the security forces,” said a spokesman for the national police.

You would think, that even in France, Muslims asserting their dominance by costing many millions by burning cars and rioting and raping with impunity on a nightly basis for two years (that we know of) would by now have become the sex with a skunk scenario, you just get tired of that old stink’n s..t.

I was thinking the exact same thing , perhaps the car-b-q’ers have bought some carbon credit offsets .

They average about 100 cars torched a night these days.

Unreal…Dear gawd, what are the insurance rates like? Well, if it’s France, it’s probably subsidized…

Stupid Euroes. Keep appeasing retards.

French authorities also prohibited sales of gas in cans prior to New Years to discourage vandals from torching cars.

There is usually an increase in the number of cars torched on New Year’s Eve compared to other days of the year.

I wonder exactly how many cars, on the average day, are torched there? I mean, is that comforting to know?
