Moonbase

I’d been hearing about racial unrest and riots in France for some time, but I didn’t realize how bad it was until I read this article in The Hindu:

Since the start of the year, 9,000 police cars have been stoned and, each night, 20 to 40 cars are torched, Sarkozy said in an interview last week with the newspaper Le Monde, two days before the violence in Clichy-Sous-Bois.

Holy. Crap. That’s getting beyond simple unrest or rioting…
