Protests have gotten out of control in Paris. Riots have broken out in the streets of the French capital after several youths set cars on fire, vandalized stores and blocked traffic as they fought with riot police. They are protesting the raising of the retirement age in France to the age of 62. The riots in Paris come on the heels of a major oil refinery strike that has left the country in a major gas shortage. Nearly one third of all gas stations in France have run dry.Up to this point the demonstrations had basically been peaceful. Tuesday, however things turned ugly, especially just outside of Paris as well as in Lyon.

This is what happens when you feed marshmallows to the grizzly bear for 50 years. Eventually you run out of marshmallows, and your hand becomes the bear's next meal. Then the arm, then the rest of your body.
