The huge extent of damage and vandalism caused in nearly a week of nightly riots in France has been dramatically underlined with a summary of recorded burnings so far, with the toll running to thousands of vehicles and buildings.

Ministry of the Interior figures taking account of damage to people and property during the now six nights of riots triggered by the shooting death by a police officer of an Algerian heritage teenager in a Paris suburb at a traffic stop reveals there have been 5,662 vehicle fires so far, reports Le Parisien.

The widespread destruction of vehicles, which as images recorded in the areas of unrest in France attest, include not just private cars but also trucks and buses. Trams have also been targeted by vandals. In one widely-reported case, a large truck was stolen by looters to ram down the doors of a mall to gain access to the merchandise inside. There were 1,919 vehicle fires on Thursday night alone.

So was this an immigrant who was killed? And the native French population is upset over that?

Obviously this was a straw that broke the camel's back type thing, but what is the political persuasion of the average rioter?

The French are angry that the rioters burned twice as many vehicles in a week that the Russians destroyed in a month in the Ukraine.

At least the rioters were not burning people's homes. ;)

I don't have a lot of time to spend on searches for this subject.

I did see the protesters rammed a burning car into the residence of a Mayor in an assassination attempt.

At least the riots in France are not like there were in 1968 after MLK, Jr was shot and killed in Memphis.

Most of the west side of Chicago went up in flames as did the Watts neighborhood in L.A., just to name two. ;)
