Paris has always had more than its share of "yoots".
Been that way for the last 35 years that I know of, and some stations and shopping centers are worse than others.
What's new here?

Jaques, Pierre, and Judeaux at it again? Or might it be Abdul, Omar, and Muhammed? Don't count on the frog press to make the differentiation.

I think it must be some visiting American students. Those nasty Americans always medling in French affairs. There are even thousands of those Ugly Americans buried in France under white crosses.

Thank God there were no cars around. You know how the French youths get urges of pyromania around cars.

That's a major station hub. This would bring the city to a screeching halt toute suite.

Yes, the Gare du Nord metro station is a major transportation hub. I recall going through there a number of times. This is not in one of the slums.
