#21 Hopefully that South African flamethrower car anti-theft device will catch on in France. Set it to What-You-Looking-At Sensitive. |

#20 Crosspatch, Mythbusters found that bullets fired straight were unlikely to kill anyone when they came down. Bullets fired at an angle are still quite lethal. As for the carburners, I'm in favore of fighting fire with fire. Give the Legion flamethrowers and set a few of the 'youths' on fire. I'm sure the lesson will be well taken. |

#19 Destroying a couple of the worlds tallest buildings, taking out a few thousand people in the process, stateside. Taking out 50 unarmed US troops, stateside. Attempting to blow up a plane with, oh,maybe only 300 men, women and children in it. Thousands of troops killed in a couple of places that follow Islam. Torching thousands of cars in one night. But GOOD NEWS. NO GENOCIDE PER AOS! NOT YET ANYWAY! |

#18 My guess is that the "youths" involved are young males. Time to round them up and send them back to Africa in they can't behave themselves in France. |

#17 I think Myth Busters busted the myth of the falling bulling having enough force to kill anyone. Serious injury, yes, but not enough force to go through a roof and kill someone. A bullet falling at terminal velocity would not likely penetrate bone, let alone a roof AND a bone. It would have had to have been fired at the church. I would look for buildings near the church with windows or a roof above the level of the hole in the church's roof. Myth Busters episode 50. |

#15 Midnight automatic weapon fire is what goes on down here (Tucson) 50 miles north of the border. |

#14 One thing I didn't get from the article was how big an increase this is over the usual carBque rate. And is New Years in France like Hell Night in Detroit? |

#13 gen·o·cide n. The systematic and widespread extermination or attempted extermination of an entire national, racial, religious, or ethnic group. Shooting down serial arsonists in the act of committing their crimes is not genocide. That the criminals predominately come from a couple of distinct ethnic groups isn't relevant. I am a regular reader and comment rarely. You usually display a bit of wobbliness when it comes to taking a hard line with the wayward youts of Muslim extraction, why is that? I've seen comments posted here that were just as harsh if not harsher than mine. |

#12 Therenter, you're not a regular here. As it turns out, the regulars aren't into genocide. Thanks for stopping by. AoS (moderator) |

#11 Shoot. Them. Down! Muslim, Secular, North African, West African, Middle African...etc., I don't care. Start killing them wholesale when they start this crap and it will eventually stop. And, if a few "innocent" youts that were just observing get killed as well, so what, they were in the wrong place. Or, for the squeamish, ship their ass back to wherever their parents came from. Hell, ship the parents back too. |

#10 Maybe we should call the infidel "youths" by their Arabic name Al-Shabab i.e "The Youth". Just as Allah is "The God", as in; There is no De Gawd except De Gawd and De Yuff are his Stormtroopers. |

#7 At that point it might be cheaper just to rent a car as needed, rather than purchasing one, European Conservative. |

#6 It's the French version of "Cash for burnt clunkers" |

#5 French Muslims put stickers on their cars to show they are Muslim owned, and those cars are not torched. |

#4 ethnicity = north african, west african religion = nominally muslim, in reality, secular political affiliation = none |

Why would an imam be issuing pleas to totally secular Frenchmen? |

#2 You're right Lex. p.s. The Sun circles the Earth---I can see it with my own eyes. |

#1 Despite the rantings of the "jihadwatch" bloggers, this French national pastime has f-all to do with islam, let alone jihad. The kids setting cars on fire in France are totally secular. They ignored the imams' pleas to stop torching cars (many of which belong to their own people) because it's not about religion, or jihad, or the caliphate, but about simple race relations/unemployment/boredom/low-level juvenile gangsterism. Calling this part of islamist terror is like calling Bloods and Crips a bolshevik uprising. I mean, really, I'm all for vigilance but let's not be stupid about this. |
