France declares riots over

The French appear to consider the riots over yesterday. The destruction each night went from quasi-normal to a normal average. Prior to the riots an average of 100 car-becues per night was average. Three weeks of rioting brought a tremendous amount of damage. A summary of the damage (riot and normal) is given for your consideration:

10,000 cars torched in riots

130 police officers wounded, 2 people murdered

100 factories, industrial buildings vandalized/set ablaze

The same to some 100 schools, sports centers and government buildings

Included 13 Christian cemetaries, chapels and churches and at least 4 Jewish centers and synagogues and one attempt to set a mosque on fire

This lasted for a very long time. I appears that France will have a state of emergency for another three months after parliment voted on Wednesday.
