This is beyond the pale.
The Arabian people of France have a right to torch cars.
Hundreds of empty, parked cars go up in flames in France each New Year’s Eve, set afire by young revelers, a much-lamented tradition that appeared in decline this year, which saw only 874 vehicles burned.
The number of cars burned overnight has declined compared to New Year’s Eve 2019 when 1,316 vehicles went up in flames, Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin said Saturday on Twitter.
La nuit de la Saint-Sylvestre a connu une baisse des violences grâce au dispositif des forces de l'ordre. Merci aux près de 130 000 policiers, gendarmes et personnels de la sécurité civile qui ont porté secours et assuré la sécurité des Français cette nuit. pic.twitter.com/DTEUE3dyGf

Fewer arson attacks occurred because of massive police presence on cities’ streets this New Year’s Eve, enforcing law and order and restrictions on public gatherings and wearing face masks as infections driven by the fast-spreading omicron variant surge, he said.
There is no information on burned cars last year because of a nationwide lockdown in 2020 during the coronavirus pandemic.
Like many countries, France sees cars set on fire during the year for many reasons, including gangs hiding clues of their crimes and people making false insurance claims.
But car-torching took a new step in France when it became a way to mark the arrival of the New Year. The practice reportedly began in earnest among youths – often in poor neighbourhoods – in the 1990s in the region around Strasbourg in eastern France.
Cops are evil.
We shouldn’t have cops anymore.
They are a tool of white supremacy, just like cars that aren’t on fire.
