Love how the Examiner makes it easy for readers to recognize it as a right-leaning source of news.

Citing race multiple times, along with nationalities… And the family name of the 17 year-old (we know the name over here, but newspapers don’t print it).

Many of the looters and rioters that have been arrested (and charged already) admit that their actions have nothing to do with what happened. They are using it as an excuse to act out.

There are systematic problems here in France that cannot be excused or defended. What happened may happen again and can be seen around the world. Gentrification pushes low income families to certain parts of the city. In France, not every school is equal, so low income areas get poorer education, there are higher dropout rates, etc. Police do racially profile and it so happens that many of these low income families come from different parts of Africa. I live about an hour from Paris and see it where I live. My mother-in-law lives in a small town in France, and they burned down the McDonald’s last night.

Nahel was one of these dropouts who had been stopped by the police multiple times. His death has been deemed a murder. The riots are now out of control and I am a little concerned that either someone will be killed tonight, or the riots will last weeks… Or a state of emergency will be invoked which could mean restrictions on digital communications because the riots are being organised using Telegram.
