French person makes statement that makes even other French people cringe
…Ahmed Meguinia, a political activist who saw some of the Paris region’s hardest-hit areas during the past week, said…that there was a lack of media coverage explaining why ethnically segregated inhabitants of some of France’s poorest cities have been driven to riot. Instead, the world repeatedly sees CNN images of burning cars and shops, he said.
That’s a good point Ahmed, TV should stay away from showing the damage rioters are causing and focus instead on how they have been driven riot. Le dumb.

I just love the reported “real reason” behind the “outbreak of violence.”
What was it, you ask?
A couple of kids fried themselves in a transformer because they were running from police (my blog article about it).
Yeah. Let’s run away from the police and die a hell of a spectacularly fiery death, so that our friend can live and say we were only running
so we wouldn’t have to explain our presence in a group of 10+ to police who suddenly started chasing after us when we all scattered upon catching sight of themfor survival.
