Some 350 cars set on fire in Paris on New Year night



At least 350 cars were set ablaze overnight in Paris and its outskirts, the Europe 1 radio station said on Friday citing an interior ministry source.

A total of 1,147 cars were set alight in France during New Year celebrations last year.

In the first hours of 2010, police detained over 400 suspected troublemakers across the country, including some 170 in Paris and its suburbs. A total of 11 police officers were injured.

Security measures have been toughened ahead of the mass celebrations, with at least 45,000 over police officers on duty around the country, some 8,000 of them in the capital.

In a separate incident, five people were killed and 13 injured in a fire that broke out in a seven-storey residential building in the southern French city of Nimes, the France Info radio station said.

An investigation into the fire is underway, but local prosecutors say that preliminary investigation revealed no signs of arson.

Good news for Peugeot, Renault and Citroën, not so good for everybody else in France and the rest of Europe. The race war is already here.

Well, OPEL is also in difficulties, and the Germans have been warned that times are going to be tough...

You say "race war" as if it were something bad...

If only we white Europeans woke up and actually started fighting the war, then I would rejoice, my friend.

This news reminds me of Detroit, where "troubled youths" used to set buildings on fire at Halloween.

The war is not against other races though, it's against the governments that brought them in and their supporters - in many cases fellow [insert ethnicity here]...That's civil war...would you so easily pick good war over bad peace?

You are completely right on this matter, methinks, and I should have pointed it out too: the real problem is not non-European immigrants (an unknown percentage of whom are waging a war against the civilisation that feeds them), but rather the traitors who make the laws that allow them in.

As far as cars burned us somment well below reality
in France.
Show the real figures would be unable to recognize a lack of genuine desire to resolve dan the heart of the matter.
Do not get me wrong, burned cars are European, and Western!
Those displaying necklaces Muslim prayers and other signs displaying the Koran are not affected.
Before, it was enough to hang a pure pork sausage, the rearview mirror for a theft deterrent, other times other manners, the Quranic symbols are far better to deter.
Given the lax and blessing underlying, through the inaction of the French state which has used these problems to strengthen its draconian policy towards its citizens.
We must even if it be behind the line, answer, and waging war in response, and distilled in their bosom the feeling of discomfort and insecurity through the seemingly insignificant acts, but who exercised daily in their rot Life
that's what I work to do.

There are also different reasons for setting cars on fire:

Dans les quartiers sensibles, il est de notoriété publique qu’une partie des incendies de véhicules est motivée par des fraudes à l’assurance. En échange de quelques dizaines d’euros, des adolescents peuvent mettre le feu à des voitures qui seront ensuite remboursées par les assureurs.
Le ministère de l’intérieur a ainsi noté des incendies de voitures dans des villes qui ne sont jamais touchées par les violences urbaines...
