FRENCH President Jacques Chirac has promised arrest, trials and punishment for those sowing "violence or fear" as an 11th night of urban violence erupted across France last night, with police and rioters clashing south of Paris and in other towns.

Ten riot police were wounded, two seriously, in fighting with 250 to 300 youths in Grigny, south of the capital. Officials believe rioters may have fired with a hunting rifle. Across the country, rioters pelted Molotov cocktails at cars and a school, and firefighters in some areas worked under police escort.

The previous night, youths set ablaze nearly 1,300 vehicles and torched businesses, schools and symbols of French authority, including post offices and provincial police stations. The violence spread to Paris for the first time.

Yeah I have been watching this on the news and yeah it seems to be gettin out of control,they (government and police) don't know what to do and what sort of an out come will be if they do go with the last options of using guns so I just hope it settles down and everything can go back to normal for the people in France. :confused:
