Many of the residents of the Paris suburbs are Muslims outraged by Sunday night's tear-gas attack on a mosque at the heart of the unrest. The week-long wave of violence began after two teenage boys were electrocuted after seeking refuge in a substation at Clichy-sous-bois, believing they were being chased by police.

I've just hit on the difference between France and America. There, teenage boys are electrocuted when seeking refuge at a substation, and the community riots.

In America, the boys' families would probably sue the county, the electric company, and the police, settle a wrongful death suit out of court with enough money to get them out of the ghetto. After all, the substation should have been adequately protected to prevent accidental electrocution, signs should have been posted in every language and with pictures, etc. (/sarcasm)
