What is wrong with this Picture

I have not blogged about what is going on in France for several reasons aside from my general lack of posts. This item caught my eye today and I could not let it pass.
I was reading this article and down aways a saw this.

If the downward trend continues, "things could return to normal very quickly," National Police Chief Michel Gaudin said, noting that French youths burn about 100 cars on an average Saturday night.

Is it just me or does anyone else think it odd that on an average Saturday night the youth of France burns 100 cars. I mean I knew their movies were bad but the bars must be awful too.

A lot of people in this country how much countries in Europe are ruled by their elites.
Even the elites though seem to be fed up as this quote shows.

In the next few days, France is expected to start deporting foreigners implicated in the violence a plan by law-and-order Interior Minister Nicolas Sarkozy that has caused divisions in the government.

I wonder what they are going to do with the ones who are French citizens if in name only.

A bright note is that the people themselves seem to understand that Sarkozy is not the problem.

A poll in the newspaper Le Journal du Dimanche suggested Sarkozy is the politician that French people trust most to deal with the troubles. Some 53 percent said they supported him, while about 71 percent said they lacked confidence in President Jacques Chirac.
