77 Policemen hurt in Paris riots
Reuters, AP and the BBC:
Nearly 80 French police officers have been injured, six seriously, during a second night of riots by youths in the suburbs of Paris, police unions say.Associated Press, however, states
The police say some officers suffered bullet wounds, while others were hurt by stones, fireworks and petrol bombs thrown at them in Villiers-le-Bel.
The youths said they were avenging the two teenagers killed when their motorcycle hit a police car on Sunday.
A senior union official said the riots had been more intense than in 2005.
The 2005 unrest, sparked by the accidental deaths of two youths, spread from a nearby suburb of Paris to other cities and continued for three weeks, during which more than 10,000 cars were set ablaze and 300 buildings firebombed.
'Fired upon'
The second consecutive night of rioting began early in the evening in Villiers-le-Bel, the northern suburb that saw most of the violence on Sunday.
Police fired tear gas and rubber bullets to keep at bay gangs of youths who were attacking them with stones, fireworks and petrol bombs.
More than 70 vehicles and buildings, including the municipal library, two schools and several shops, were set on fire.

Mr Ribeiro said police were facing a situation that was "far worse than that of 2005", which began in the nearby suburb of Clichy-sous-Bois.
Police were shot at and are facing "genuine urban guerillas with conventional weapons and hunting weapons," Ribeiro said.This brings the total to a hundred and three policemen and firemen injured since Sunday.
Some officers were hit by shotgun pellets, Interior Minister Michele Alliot-Marie said.

"...a hundred and three policemen and firemen injured since Sunday."
The French capacity to capitulate is truly staggering. They scoff at the US $ when it hits a cyclical low, yet their destructive behavior will most certainly leave them without a country, once again.
And why do I think that the only country strong enough to defend them, and return to them their sovereignty, will be the good old US? Because history tells me so.
AT WHAT PRICE FRANCE?
As french, i can tell you that our country is very slowwwww in some ways, US got youth camps since years, here maybe in 20 years we will maybe be able to do something, but here too many people won't give their veto to say yes, ok let's give a try, people want to try another things that youth camps, if you do that here, you'll be a racist, if you say that we should put these ppl in psychatric care or in jail, everyone would say that you are and still a racist, whahtever if it's true or not, these days, you can't do or say anything against these ppl here, because we are all sitting on a bomb and because you will be considered like a racist, IT'S NOT VIOLENCE BUT AN EXPRESSION OF RAGE !!?? yeah let me laugh, we say that since the 70s and nothing changed, I think it's time to do something, it's always because they are poor, easy excuse.. During years, the tag walls, burns cars, garbages, steal all the time, force women to have sex, if you look at at them in the eyes, you'll get a knife planted in your arm, they are just crazy.. They are considering the police status like their enemies, but really.. Look that great example, 2 boys on a little motorcycle without light and protection were riding very fast in there area, a police car patrol was driving pretty slow, the motorcycle came of front of the police car and killed the 2 boys and the police officers went our their car and call the emergency, but they had to go away from the crash area because a lot of nervous ppl came to fight the police, they will probably killed them if they haven't leave the place, i'm sure about that, these ppl are savages and they can't calm themselves down. And look now, everyone is saying that the police car were chasing them and killed them !! this is ridiculus, 5 ppl have seen exactly what happened from different place, and it's still exactly the same deposition, it was an accident, a stupid and sad accident for sure, but that's it !! and now it's not enough, some ppl want the "real" truth and the reponsables, but it's just crap.. Here we really need a police like in the united states, a strong police, with respect and force. My France, shame on you..
