" Obvious: in the US, we'd be talking of 1173 DEAD on Tuesday and another 1408 DEAD on Monday " Nonsense. Despite the prevalence of guns, no US riot has every had more than a few dozen dead. Most had considerably less than that. The French one has chalked up an impressive number of cars. What's with that?

Comrade Jaeger, Obvious: in the US, we'd be talking of 1173 DEAD on Tuesday and another 1408 DEAD on Monday --instead of burned-down cars. LOL, maybe you can put that in your latest socialist propaganda literature. Name one riot in recent American history that has come close to those death tolls. Even the death toll from Hurricane Katrina hasn't reached that, and most of those deaths are from (surprise) the hurricane itself, not the looting afterwards. Tenchusatsu

Everything is fine Gustave.... news.yahoo.com French historians say the rioting is more widespread and destructive in material terms than the May riots of 1968, when university students erected barricades in Paris' Latin Quarter and across France, throwing paving stones at police. That unrest, a turning point in modern France, led to a general strike by 10 million workers and forced President Gen. Charles de Gaulle to dissolve parliament and fire Premier Georges Pompidou.
