Because They Can

I don't get why there's riots in Paris.

Unrest was triggered by the deaths of two teenagers electrocuted in a power substation where they hid to escape police. A third was injured. Officials have said police were not pursuing the boys, aged 15 and 17.

Prime Minister Dominique de Villepin met Tuesday with the parents of the three families, promising a full investigation of the deaths and insisting on "the need to restore calm," the prime minister's office said.

Sounds to me like Darwin in action. So why is this justification for rioting, burning cars & buildings and generally behaving like hoodlums? Or am I missing something?

Yeah, I don't understand that either. There's no basis for it.
