What I am saying is that these riots are very French in their behavior: some property damage, no killing. That is the way French-style manifestations and violent social protests go.

"In Grigny, south of the capital, a gang of around 200 youths are reported to have lured police into a housing estate before opening fire with hunting rifles. At least 30 officers were injured, two seriously with lead pellets in the legs and neck."

Is this "very French in their behavior"?
