There were a number of arsons in the immigrant quarters of Paris during late summer/autumn that put everyone there on the edge I think. So it had been brewing for a while, and the death of the two boys kind of set off the spark (Bad choice of words, I know.) Not even the Paris correspondant of my morning paper can explain excatly what's going on. He was trying to interview a group of young boys in the rioting quarters when they set fire to him -- twice! When he finally ran away from them, he dropped his wallet. One of the boys ran after him and gave it back, untouched. It's just too weird.
