The situation in France is very similar to what happened in New Orleans. Classism and poverty have stretched the lower end of the spectrum to its breaking point. Whether it is a hurricane or the electrocution of two kids dumb enough to hide in a substation is irrelevant. Using New Orleans as a metaphor, when the levees of social justice are strained, just the right pressure is all that's needed to break them and flood the city with violence and unrest.
