MASSIVE RIOTS ALL OVER FRANCE !!
The situation in France is dramatically. About 1 wqek ago massive riots broke out in the poor suburbs of Paris after 2 young immigrants were hunted to death by the police (the boys, 15, 17, died in a power plants´electricity cables when they tried to flee from a regular police controll).
Since then, each night hundreds of cars burn, police and fire workers are attacked with stones, molotow-cocktails and even with a pump gun last night...
Busses, kindergardens, schools, cars, police headquarters are set on fire...
Last night was the first night that the riots took place also in other cities all over France...

This night 900 (!!!)cars burned...
Alone last night 500 cars were set on fire in and around Paris. Schools, kindergardens and other public or state institutions burned. Also some companies were attacked.
6 police men were injured, 78 protesters imprisioned.
The protesters changed their tactic: they operate in small groups, hit and run, instead of searching "big clashes" with the heavily armed police units...
77 other cars burned in other french cities last night. also 7 in dijon and in cote d´or, 8 in the département bouches-du-rhone around marseille and 9 in normandie, seine-maritime.
In Neuilly-sur-Marne in the east of paris police cars were shot with guns.
Busses and police cars are attacked with stones.
In Trappes, south-west of paris, a bus station was set on fire. 27 buses were destroyed.
In Aulnay-Sous-Bois, north of paris a company burned down.
