If this is not curtailed quickly, the powder keg of racial and ethnic tension that is poised to rip Europe apart will explode.

PARIS - Dozens of youths clashed with police and set fire to buildings in a Paris suburb on Sunday after two teenagers were killed in a crash with a police car.
The pair were riding on a stolen motorcycle when the accident happened on Sunday in the town of Villiers-le-Bel, north of Paris, a police union source said.

The thieves were traveling at high speed and smashed head on into a cop car. The two youths are dead and police car is totaled.

After last night's deaths, residents in Tolinette said cars were being burnt out, with police fleeing the scene.
One local, who asked to remain anonymous, said: "Around 100 rioters have burn at least two cars, but the forces of law and order are nowhere to be seen.
"There were four police cars here, but they've retreated. They were charged by the rioters. Some rioters are climbing up to electric cables to try and break them and put the whole district into darkness.

I have to wonder what the rioters response will be when one of these youths trying to knock out the power lines gets electrocuted.
All in all, this situation looks bad.

Le Parisien reports that they burned down a Peugeot dealership, sacked a train station and shops, tore up a McDonald’s, stole the day’s receipts and attacked customers, smashed and burned cars, and are still going strong. A police commissioner who tried to talk to the mob was attacked with iron rods; his face and skull are fractured. A police station was burned down, seven policemen were injured.
Interviewed by Le Parisien, the uncle of Moushin Souhhali, one of the victims, says he understands the rage; it’s terrible to lose a 15 year-old boy. His body, claims the uncle, was dumped at the fire station with no respect. The police who, in his opinion, caused the accident were nowhere to be seen. He heard they were speeding. His nephew was a good boy, not a delinquent.

I can sympathize with the pain of the parents of the two dead children. However, they were not innocents. They were killed for behaving recklessly with their own lives on what appears to be stolen property. No one has any cause to blame anyone but the two dead youths for their deaths.
They died stupid deaths.
Hardly a cause for a riot.
But for some, any excuse will do.
