Riots in France: Night 2

You can mute you computer if you don't speak French, the visuals are compelling enough.

For the second consecutive night, riots broke out in Villiers les Bel, 12 miles north of Paris. The riots are in response to the deaths of two African-born youths which occurred after their motorbike collided with a police car.

Though police attempted to revive the 15- and 16-year-old boys using mouth-to-mouth resuscitation, the primarily poor, immigrant population of Villiers le Bel has risen up with a violent response as seen in the video above. Seventy-seven police officers have been injured so far, many vehicles and several business have been torched, and the rioters continue to elude police in pursuit by use of the labyrinths within local project apartment houses.

These images are nothing compared to what I found earlier on YouTube, but most of the private party produced posts have been removed due to "violent content."

This is reminiscent of the LA riots in 1992, following the Rodney King verdict. The police felt they were unjustified, and the people destroyed their own neighborhoods.
