Not fabrications - car torchings

In American housing projects, cars are not burned on a nightly basis. Especially not hundreds of cars. If the cops were chased out of a neighborhood, it would be to gunfights with helicopters and automatic weapons.

America's ghettos have nothing to do with France's inability to control parts of its territory, and its lack of will to fight.

I repeat, none of the American ghettos have experienced anything like France is now experiencing, except for a handful of riots that were not based on religion, but injustice towards a race. To control those riots in those instances, America sent in the National Guard and troops - they didn't run and hide.
