Grenoble rioters fire shots at police and burn cars

Rioters in the south-eastern French city of Grenoble have fired shots and burned cars after police shot dead a man accused of robbing a local casino.

The violence flared early on Saturday morning after a memorial service for the man, who was killed 24 hours earlier in a shootout with police.

He was one of two men believed to have held up a casino, escaping with more than 20,000 euros (£17,000; $26,000).

The rioters also attacked a tram with baseball bats and iron bars.

Interior Minister Brice Hortefeux visited the scene of the disturbances in Grenoble on Saturday afternoon.

Police said they pursued two men suspected of holding up the casino at Uriage-les-Bains early on Friday morning.

The two men fired shots at them, police said, wounding an officer. Police returned fire, killing one of the men, Karim Boudouda.

Mr Boudouda, 27, had three previous convictions for armed robbery.

The other suspect escaped and is still on the run.

I notice the French Government didn't respond with a free-fire of live amunition on all the demonstrators though..

Poor misunderstood oppressed minority group member. The police should have responded with hugs & kisses and the government should give more social assistance to these downtrodden folks. It really wasn't his fault. It was obviously someone of fair complexion that was to blame.

What an outrage shooting at nice Mr. yabadababoba........, almost as bad as giving a crazed phyco on drugs, with over two times the legal alcohol limit and no licence, racing through residential neighbourhoods with speeds from 55 mph to 100mph, a jolly good trashing.

No wonder good upstanding citizens take a day of work to show their displeasure with authorities.

Sounds like England on any Friday/Saturday night doesn't it? Except the little cnut is just as likely to be white as black or other..
