    All parties looked white.

    In other clips the looters are an ethnically diverse and aged bunch.

    So it appears people are just using it as an excuse to steal.
    It's always the riots with a race element that has looting right? There wasn't looting with the pension law riots recently or the yellow vests ones?

    LA riots, recent BLM riots, london riots, these ones.

      No some looters are white, however from most video's non whites seem to be the majority enjoying a bit of thieving. Not sure if they are over represented in that area like many parts of London that rioted or they tend to indulge more.

        I'm on about the incident that starts the riots that have looting tends to be a race based incident. Not that the looters or rioters are any particular race.

          WHich is the modus opperandi of every riot isn't it? Not sure why anyone thought it would be any different.

          When hasn't it been? And the riots tend to be from a minoirty group who believe they are hard done to (in some cases quite rightly) but then it decends in to elements of the same group looting. It's kind of synonymous with the groups that feel the need to riot if you get me.

          Yes they are. Can't sugar coat it if you want to get to the bottom of it. Maybe not particular but a vast majoity from the minoities, and in a city like this from the immigrants who have nothing so it's open season. There maybe some white looters but it's a brave white guy that goes looking when there is a race riot going on.

          Might be being a bit straight to the point but I've zero sympathy for people that think rioting and looting is a way to show how angry and hard done to they are. Looters are just common theives and nothing to do with the anger at whatever issue is going on. Just opportunists out to steal.

            from the videos on BBC etc there are a lot of white bystanders filming it on their phones.

              Hmm. Good point and one I made myself, the looting has F all to do with race so guess it's not a problem. Still, not the smartest move IMO.

                Quite. Burning down primary school - pathetic.

                Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!

                  Now the deceased gran is telling them to stop and they have tried to kill a Mayor and his family.

                  https://www.theguardian.com/world/20...to-500-arrests

                  “Stop rioting, stop destroying,” the grandmother, named as Nadia, told BFMTV. “I say this to those who are rioting: do not smash windows, attack schools and buses. Stop. It’s mothers who take those buses.” The rioters, mostly minors, were “using Nahel as an excuse”, she said. “We want things to calm down.”

                  In the most serious incident on Saturday night, rioters rammed a burning car into the home of Vincent Jeanbrun, the mayor of L’Haÿ-les-Roses, nine miles (15km) south of Paris, at about 1.30am. Jeanbrun was at the town hall at the time, but his wife and one of his two children, aged five and seven, were injured as they fled.
