I won't pretend to know about French current events, but here's what I've read: millions of immigrants from Africa move to France for whatever reason. Said immigrants aren't offered "equal opportunities" in France. So instead of proving their worth and making the best of new opportunities (like millions and millions of immigrants have done in the US over the past century), these geniuses decide that the best way to get answers is by setting fire to 100 cars a night every night for over a year. And now, one year after the first huge round of riots, they're starting up again with more riots and crimes, some at gunpoint. And apparently all of these riots have made "France realize that they aren't doing enough for their minorities".

LOL, ok.
