Kinda the same thing we had happen in N.O. When people feel they have nothing to lose and the pressure has been building for as long as it has.. It only takes a little spark to start the fire.

I'm just amazed that the authorities haven't done anything to stop all this. Leaving something like this unchecked is very dangerous for the entire region.
You are hitting that nail on the head crockett!

It's not just about "Muslims", - there has been an avoidance for decades of people living in slums around the French Mediterranean coast. It also don't help when some stupid mouth in the govt then talks about them as "scum".

When there is a massive disconnect between, eg govts and people suffering, they end up erupting. It was similar in N.O. and same shit has happened in the UK on a smaller scale.
