Second night of violence in France

Second night of violence in France
05/08/2007

Not much being reported in the main stream media about the “youths” that are rioting in France. I noticed that yesterday morning NPR did not even mention the violence in their French election report. Meanwhile back at the ranch…

“More than 3,000 police have been deployed in Paris and its multi-ethnic [newspeak for Muslims]suburbs in case Mr Sarkozy’s victory sparks a repeat of the riots seen in 2005.”

Anti-Sarkozy protesters smash windows

PARIS (Reuters) – Between 300 and 400 youths protesting against French president-elect Nicolas Sarkozy smashed shop windows, burnt scooters and clashed with police in central Paris on Monday evening, Reuters witnesses said.

Several hundred riot police tried to chase the youths, who gathered in the Place de la Bastille chanting anti-Sarkozy slogans on two separate occasions during the evening.

At least two scooters were burnt, telephone cabins were smashed and several cars were damaged. Around 35 people were arrested and there were several clashes between the youths and police.

In Nantes, in western France, around 400 protesters gathered in the centre of the town. They smashed windows and damaged several cars before being dispersed by police with tear gas.

Around 500 protesters gathered in Lyon eastern France, and in Caen in northern France around 800 people demonstrated in the centre of the town. French radio said there were other protests in other towns.

Sarkozy’s win on Sunday night was marred by violence. Overnight demonstrators set fire to 730 cars and injured 78 policemen.
