For the benefit of Lada, the Washington Post reported in an article which fell all over itself to be sympathetic to the rioters:
"The clashes began last Thursday after two African Muslim teenagers were electrocuted in the northeastern suburb of Clichy-sous-Bois while trying to evade police. On Sunday, as the street fighting continued, a police tear gas canister landed inside a mosque during Ramadan prayers, further inflaming the impoverished communities."
I love the Post, "further inflaming the impoverished communities" - translation, this has nothing, repeat nothing to do with Islam. They are rioting because they are poor and oppressed. The French have bags of money and plenty of high paying jobs they refuse to give to these poor immigrants. If only they would just share, then all their troubles would go away. Better yet, the French should leave the keys to the country on their way out. After all, they'd all fit in Quebec.
The boys, incidentally, were running away from the police and died when they scaled a fence and landed in an electrical substation.
