Here is how the NYT refers to the rioters today:

PARIS, Monday, Nov. 8

...he was beaten by a hooded youth...Jacques Chirac, who vowed to punish the rioters...rioters...the violence...stay away from areas of unrest...earlier reports of rioters firing weapons...anger among many immigrant families over joblessness and discrimination..."This is just the beginning," said Moussa Diallo, 22, a tall, unemployed French-African man...hundreds of youths were reported to have clashed...Rampaging youths have attacked the police...three firefighters were injured in clashes with young rioters...two running youths...the working-class suburbs, peopled primarily by North African and West African immigrants and their French-born children..."it's fun to set cars on fire," said Mohamed Hammouti, a 15-year-old boy...residents of some high-rise apartment blocks have been throwing steel boccie balls and improvised explosives at national riot police officers patrolling below....a firebomb factory - Six minors were arrested...arrested three youths who had called for rioting and attacks on the police on their Web sites...Though a majority of the youths committing the acts are Muslim, and of African or North African origin, the mayhem has yet to take on any ideological or religious overtones.

Then, if goes on about "young people, "youths, and mostly passive voice "bombs were thrown", "police were shot"
