The Paris riots
...when you've got no hope, you look at things differently. You don't care. Most of these kids' fathers have never had a proper job. Why should they think things will be different for them?
What on earth is happening in Paris? Yet again, the most underprivileged, neglected sector of a population have resorted to violence but all we hear about is the end product. I've struggled to find some insightful analysis of the situation. Here's one good report from The Guardian. Anyone else have any useful info?

Thanks for that DBO. I also found this pretty insightful: http://direland.typepad.com/direland/2005/11/why_is_france_b.html. Now I don't think the world is going to end but I think it's something of a protend for what can happen when inequality and poverty festers for a long period of time. I can't see a more lucid link, also, between Frane's imperialistic crimes in North Africa and these riots.
