But can the news media explain why the Public was never told about those New Year's Ever French car attacks in all of those previous years?

PARIS, France (AP) - Youths threw stones at firefighters and burned cars in scattered unrest during New Year's Eve celebrations in France, where police were mobilised to prevent a repeat outburst of rioting that broke out this fall.
About 25,000 French police were on alert for the holiday. Every New Year's Eve, youths set several hundred cars ablaze as festivities get out of hand. Police are being especially cautious this time because of the wave of rioting and car-torchings that broke out for three weeks starting in late October. A state of emergency imposed during the rioting is still in effect.
In an initial tally early today, the Interior Ministry reported 127 vehicles burned throughout the country, including 41 in the Ile-de-France region that includes Paris.
A small fire broke out at a school in Toulouse, in southwest France, and was quickly put out, local authorities said. In Nice on the French Riviera, firefighters were pelted with stones when they responded to an anonymous phone alert, officials said.
C'mon guys. You can do better that that. Last year, on New Year's Eve, over 300 cars were set on fire in France. On an average day 100 cars are burnt.
At least they have a hobby. And, on the bright side, this should help France meet their Kyoto targets because that's 36,500 fewer cars every year that will not contribute to global warming.
The French had better stop oprressing those poor Muslim utes.
France has been in a shadow since 1939. Too late for the froggies.
All those burning cars should get rid of the shadow.
HEAVENS!
Well lah deh dah. Alles der Franzoische wollen Deutsch wieder sprachen. And very soon.
"About 25,000 French police were on alert for the holiday. Every New Year's Eve, youths set several hundred cars ablaze as festivities get out of hand...A state of emergency imposed during the rioting is still in effect."
EVERY NEW YEAR'S EVE???? Several hundred cars???
I've never of such a thing before, just really not! How wonderfully tolerant these Euro-socialist eqalitarians are.
Too many Citroens and Simcas and so little time.
Note tagline.
"Alles der Franzoische wollen Deutsch wieder sprachen."
I don't think so. I think alles der Franzoische wollen raghead wieder sprachen. Couldn't happen to a nicer group. I guess, to be consistent, they will carry IED's to different roads and highways, emplace them, choose not to fuse them, then surrender.

Why no mention of all the other things that were burned during the last Intifada in France?? Why cars??
If I had to drive citreons and peugeots I'd probably burd them too.
Are you one of those who be the first to Yell....JUMP??
Are not those who egg on is bad or worst than those who do?
Well, yeah. But only when the French are involved.
Be sure to tell my grandparents that!
and of course Alexis de Tocqueville
you are so myopic!
Too bad the French don't have Alexis anymore.
The heartland of the people feel just like here...
Sadly you been conditoned by short sightedness of not looking beyond the infiltration of the lingering backward babyloina squatters!
Sovereignty is a French word and is interesting to read how it is being used in todays world?

Anyways Happy New Years!
I look beyond all that and I don't see anything pretty. They will tear down the Eiffel tower and sell it for scrap.
Re. Sovereignty, definition 3 & 4 are what we are looking for
"Complete independence and self-government." "A territory existing as an independent state."
Muslims will demand that their little enclaves be independent states just as the Palestinians are demanding the same. Expect the French to cave in before Israel does.
