Don’t you feel like Butch and Sundance, as these indeterminate “youts” pillage and plunder the Parisian suburbs?
Rampaging youths rioted for a second night in Paris’ suburbs, firing at officers and ramming burning cars into buildings. At least 77 officers were injured, a senior police union official said Tuesday.
