Ninth, Tramboi, and other French friends: You okay?

Please let us know you're all right.

Yeah. I've yet to see something unusual, but then, I mostly stay in Paris itself and seldom go in the northern suburbs were things are supposedly going nuts.

Thanks for the concern mate!

Living in the north of Paris, I still had no trouble. But hey, Paris is a town for rich safe people nowadays

It seems it is mostly the kids (13-18) that are wreaking havoc in those suburbs, and where I live and go out, their elder brothers do a bit of "business" so I guess they avoid attracting too much attention...
I still have to browse the foreign press to see how theses events are considered abroad.
I guess here, this will either end up with 400 people doing time for 5 years, or in a big clash between these young and the local silent majority of working class people living in these places who can't stand it any more....

Good to hear that! Completely OT: I'd die to watch La soupe aux choux again.
