While watching the news earlier today it seems as if there is a riot going on in northern Paris. The only details that might have led to the cause of this riot seems to be that there was some deaths caused by a car crash involving a motor cycle and a car. The news clip I watched was brief. Does anyone know additional details on these riots? Is it really (and sadly) that easy to get a riot going over there?

i think it is easy to get a riot going anywhere! all you need is a cause and a few people.

Thanks for that find suckapunch. That article is a good insight of the riot from it's beginning to it's current stage.

yeah, I noticed that was released today, I had actually meant to make the post regarding it but i've been so busy today at work..

its actually getting pretty intense over there.. cnn news on my lunch was saying military from 2 other countries are getting involved..

A Riot because people died in an initial car accident? Sad.

Apparently as the news is coming in a bit more now it started not just by any car crash but by a patrol car being involved in a crash with a civilian motorcyclist. You can see what looks like the wreck that people are saying caused the riots a few seconds after the reporter in the video clip starts showing the rioting footage.

According to the linked article... the angry people are saying that the police hit and killed the two teens then drove off.

This riot seems so harmful, yet with so few people. Yes, it is that easy, and I have been unfortunate enough to see many begin this way, as I live near UMass, with the highest crime rate as any state university. Sad.
