The LA Times has an article today about rioting for a second night in Paris. Seems two 'Arab youths' were out on a motorcycle and ended up under the wheels of a police car. The investigation is on-going, but the initial report had the kids turning into the path of the car, which then ran over them.The locals, predictably, went batshit.
They're burning buildings (including the local McDonald's and a police station and, horrors, the library) and cars and throwing the famous French garbage cans. (What would a riot be without a nice garbage can lofted through a plate glass window, I ask you...)
Numerous 'youths' have been arrested, forty officers and firefighters have been injured, and the general hoohah is on-going.
Ah, the French...
