Frenchmen fly the white flag
After 16 consecutive days of arson and riots, and an additional 500 cars set on fire last night, a small number of demonstrators (some 300 people) from the Banlieus Respects association gathered in Paris at the Peace Monument (le Mur de la Paix du Champs-de-Mars) near the Eiffel Tower and flew small white flags while demanding Sarkozy’s resignation.

• The Left will follow Libération‘s lead, wring their hands and complain about the government’s elfin attempts at imposing order.

The BBC has a timeline from October 25 to November 9, and Expatica‘s timeline runs from October 19 to November 9, but Atlas Shrugs posted on what the news isn’t saying and the Carpentras mosque is set on fire. Joe’s counting cars.

Iowahawk has the musical.
