There was a Spectator killed by one of the supporting police bikes today, plus a couple more injured.

Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.

Normally, I would say the spectators are insane -- but the victim wasn't one of the drunken 25-year-old men, but an old woman.

Also today, someone shot at the peloton with an air gun, hitting two bikers(!). I read police suspected two youths, but don't know if they caught them yet.

I currently trust the French police reporting so much that I think we wouldn't be told if she had not been crossing the road.

A few days ago, a man in a demonstration was hit by a flash-ball shot in the eye, losing it, and getting a few fractures in the head.

But the prefect thought it was not clear the cause of the harm was the flash-ball shot.
