France: Youths attack tram in 2nd day of violence
2006-10-31
Youths threw stones from an overhead bridge onto a tramway, breaking the windshield and injuring the conductor, whose face was cut by splintered glass, police said Monday. The Sunday incident in Grenoble, followed a bus attack a night earlier in Marseille in which youths tossed a bottle of flammable liquid into the vehicle, seriously burning a 26-year-old woman. Authorities concluded that the three weeks of violence that erupted Oct. 27, 2005, reflected decades of discrimination against poor youths of immigrant origin living in housing projects that ring French cities.

#1  I half listened to a tv talk show yesterday, and one security guy said that the huge majority of "incidents" don't make it to the msm; he cited a bus service in a city (don't remember which one, because my mind is rotten by Pr0n and I wasn't paying attention) where there had been 400 violent incidents since the beginning of the year, and this is not exceptional.
