Riots in Paris

I am impressed with Nicolas Sarkozy reaction to last week’s events in Paris:

“The response to the rioters is not more money at the taxpayers’ expense, but the arrest of rioters…”

“I reject any form of other-worldly naivety that wants to see a victim of society in anyone who breaks the law, a social problem in any riot…”

“What happened in Villiers-le-Bel has nothing to do with a social crisis. It has everything to do with a ‘thugocracy’.”

What is the cause behind all these riots anyway? I never really understood what it was all about. What do they want?

Sophia, could you provide a link? I would like to have some background on this situation.

Look at the date - it is from last year. But here is the link.

120 gendarmes wounded because some dumb punk kids rode a motor scooter into a cop car. Wow, I’m glad their president took the right stance in dealing with these rioters.

“We’ll give more to those who want to get ahead honestly.” I like that quote :slight_smile: .
