French Press reporting things are almost back to normal...only 374 cars burned last night. I thought that was nutty reporting until I read this... According to figures compiled before the riots by the police intelligence service RG, some 28,000 cars were burned in the first 10 months of the year -- making an average of 650 a week, most of which were destroyed on weekends. Now I understand why the French don't get excited about the riots. Burning cars is a French national pastime. theglobeandmail.com
