And the schools, and the warehouses, and the car dealerships, and a couple of churches, and stores (which were looted), and one place I read they have firebombed homes. And a police station or so.
It's freaking insanity. And the "youths". You read of those sentenced, 108 (or was it 103?) were adults, 33 were minors.
I guess I'm a "youth", too. Does that mean I'm not responsible for my actions? I mean, I've not been hired when I should have been, I'm poor, live in what would be considered by many to be substandard housing, and many people don't like me.
And on yesterday's live thread, I believe it was LL who reported that on French radio, a mayor of a French city said that gangs of "youths" were dragging women by their hair and throwing stones at them, and throwing Molotov cocktails into people's houses.
Then the state-run radio quickly went to some other story.
