The Puegoet Pyrotechnics are on display again!

"The night was relatively calm, without notable incident,” reports a spokesman for the French national police. Sure sounds like it to me!
Vandals torched 372 cars as France celebrated the New Year ...
Cars are burned fairly regularly in France, for good reason I might add. They're French cars! ... At the height of the 2005 riots as many as 1,400 cars were attacked in overnight violence.
In protests over Sarkozy’s election last May, demonstrators set fire to 730 vehicles. Right now, the only thing hotter than these car-b-ques is Sarko's girlfriend

More Car-B-Ques in Brussels


But Freddy says Brussels can't have a 9/11 peaceful demonstration.
Heavy rioting erupted in Turkish quarters of Brussels Wednesday. Buses and trams were attacked. Several cars were torched and shops destroyed. Police forces were unable to restore law and order in the boroughs of Sint-Joost-ten-Node and Schaarbeek where since last Sunday the animosity among Turks is running high. Turkish flags are omnipresent. In some streets the Turkish crescent and star adorns almost every house.
Wednesday in Freddy Thielemans pro-Islamist Brussels, violence erupted in the evening, with Turks attacking buses, cars, trains and shops. In a re-run of Ottoman bigotry, on Sunday night in the district of Sint-Joost, a bar owned by Armenian Peter Petrossian was attacked. On Monday, a cafe belonging to an Iraqi Kurd was ransacked by Turkish nationalists. On Wednesday, Turkish youths began to attack Kurdish shops in Brussels. Similar demonstrations by Turks took place in Antwerp.
The rioting on Wednesday caused 10 police officers to be injured. The violence followed a demonstration by 800 people against Kurds which turned violent.
