The guys that died electrocuted weren't chased by the police, they just THOUGHT they were.
I live in Paris and I (and I think I'm not the only one to) don't fear or anything, until they put my car on fire of course
(but I don't have a car so...). We don't even really bother actually. Even if the news is soo spectacular.
Winter is coming, in a day or two it'll be as if nothing has happened (except the numerous burned schools and other casualties, woohoo...).
I'm not denying that there is a problem with the french policy concerning social integration, but I've lived long enough in "hot districts" to be quite sure that the vast majority of the rioters are doing this for fun (yeah, i mean it, for
fun) and pride more than for revendicating anything (except their stupidity).
Anyway, let's just slay 'em all.
Edit : yeah, last night was the #10 I think... 1300 cars burned in one night, last record
BTW, the riots are (supposed to) taking place in the suburbs more than in Paris itself. But that may not be true for the other french cities.
