    By creating an environment that is would simulate new businesses and encourage existing businesses to grow, maybe?

    So that would be "liberalising" the economy then?

    This problem has been going on for a while - some serious rioting and now it has everyone's attention.

    What I might personally do when backed into a corner is irrelevant. I would never join in a riot as I am not a team person.
    If I wished to take some sort of action beyond legal protest I would not do it by joining a mob.
    Turning the area one lives in into a bigger shithouse than it already is, is not exactly productive.

    Sometimes even peaceful protest turns into a riot, not because of the behaviour of the participants, but because of the way in which the event is portrayed in the media.

    Are you seriously suggesting the media or the French government has set fire to nearly 900 cars to make a protest look like a riot?

    No, you dick. I was pointing out that when you said you would join a protest but not a riot, you may not actually have any control over the description used.

    When the demonstrators start damaging other people's property or when they try to fight with the police.

    May be it does not work because those who try to demonstrate do not have the right for what they actually ask for and are not supported by the majority of the people? Like for example I don't think rioting paedophiles would have right to have sex with children, whatever they think about it.

    edit: "generating more jobs" - so you think the French government should generate more jobs?

    Depends. If we get a "La Haine Deux" out of it it might be worth it.

    Night #10

    Last night five classrooms at the Sleeping Beauty Nursery School in Grigny, in the Essonne region south of Paris, went up in flames as well as two classrooms at another school.

    In a measure of public dissatisfaction with the government, Yvan Lemaitre, the parent of one of the pupils at the Sleeping Beauty school, told French radio: 'Burning a school is unacceptable but the man who lit the fire is Sarkozy.'

    By 1am this morning, at least 607 vehicles were burned - 13 of them inside Paris. The overall figures were expected to climb by daybreak.

    fucking mental. i asked some old boy what it was all about he said, it was in case there was going to be a demonstration.....

    CRS animals were sitting in their buses and he pointed them out to me, they were sitting having their baguette rolls drinking beer. out of control.
    It was the same in Belgium. I was working just outside Brussels in the run up to the war, every friday afternoon I'd be in a cab rushing to get the Eurostar and every friday there'd be this big fucking riot police scene (outside the US embassy) in the way.

    What the hell is going on in France?

    Bomb factory found?

    "Police also found a gasoline bomb-making factory in a derelict building in Evry south of Paris, with more than 100 bottles ready to turned into bombs, another 50 already prepared, as well as fuel stocks and hoods for hiding rioters’ faces, senior Justice Ministry official Jean-Marie Huet told The Associated Press"

    "The discovery Saturday night, he said, shows that gasoline bombs “are not being improvised by kids in their bathrooms.”

    The etnic makeup on the people running around in France is a touchy subject. I was in France one time right after 2001, just did the normal sights in Paris, normal tourist stuff. Never felt any tension. Some of you have been there many times i'm sure and know the country well.

    Was this something expected? Is the media portrying these groups as mostly Muslim? Or is it a mix of more Africans and Muslims, other immigrants etc...

    You can get a machine translation on the same site.

    but

    you would need to be current with slang and current social realtions iin France to get most out of it.
