French riots continue despite curfew threat

By Tom Heneghan

Ignoring the government's threat of a curfew, youths rioted for the 12th night in France, torching more than 800 vehicles around the country and injuring four police, the Interior Ministry said on Tuesday.

The nightly protests against racism and unemployment dropped markedly in the greater Paris region, where violence had escalated to the point of shooting at police, but continued unabated in other parts of France, a ministry statement showed.

New York City has traditionally one of the best places in the world regarding job creation, ethnic integration and socilal mobilty: the essential ingrediants to (in my opinion) a healthy and growing city.

I wish we would hear/see more "substantive" issues being addressed in this mayoral campaign.

I have been to France and lived for a short time in a small suburban community outside Paris: I remember seeing these areas. It has been a smoldering cauldren for many years. But I believe the government of France to be higly enlightened and have done, and continue to do, all that is huminly possible with an antractable problem.
