Paris riots continue

President Jacques Chirac declared a state of emergency today, in an attempt to put an end to the violence. It does appear though that the intensity of the violence is on the way down. Last night, rioting was reported in 226 towns, while the night before the number was around 300. Almost 1200 cars were burned last night, as compared to 1400 the night before. Many are calling for the Army to be called in to help put a stop to the violence.
