Rioting in Paris
The poor Paris suburbs area, populated by North African and Muslim immigrants, long ignored by the French government, is now in the middle of a great rioting, caused by the "deaths of two teenagers of North African origin."
Wikipedia has an heavily disputed article.
I wonder if that will happen here. It happened for African Americans because they couldn't find work and used peaceful protests to great effect. The last time we had a riot was in Oakland in the late 1980's or something.
