	Riot - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Riots occur when crowds or even small groups of people have gathered and are committing or seem about to commit crimes or acts of violence usually in reaction to a perceived grievance or out of dissent, but sometimes for no immediately apparent reason.
		Riots have arisen over poor working or living conditions, government oppression, efforts at taxation or conscription, conflicts between races or religions, or even the outcome of a sporting event or as protest against perceived cultural colonialism.
		Riots are characterized by violence, such as property damage, arson, looting, assault and murder.

		I’ve gotten a couple of emails asking what, exactly, is going on in France, so here’s a quick summary (and I recommend, if you’re interested, checking out the BBC nightly news, if you get it, since the American news shows haven’t been giving it a hell of a lot of attention).
		The rioting is now in its 11th day, and was precipitated by the deaths of two youths who ran into a power station; locals say they were being chased by police, a claim the police deny.
		That incident, however, was not the sole impetus for the rioting, which has at this point resulted in the burning of over 1,400 vehicles and numerous buildings in over 300 French towns, and is now starting to spread to Belgium and Germany.

	Race riot - Free net encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		A race riot or racial riot is an outbreak of violent civil unrest in which race is a key factor.
		Such riots often reflect anger among racial minority groups that are regarded as socio-economically deprived, and often such anger is directed at law enforcement agencies who are perceived to unfairly target these racial groups.
		Racial profiling, police brutality, institutional racism, urban renewal, and racial identity politics are often cited as causes of these riots, although many have argued that these riots tend not to follow any sort of political logic but rather represent spontaneous violent outbursts.

		From the 1850s into the 1870s, Haussmann supervised a program which demolished large areas of slums and narrow, crooked medieval streets, replacing them with new neighborhoods, plazas and traffic circles, and the broad, tree-lined boulevards that are still the hallmark of Paris.
		The riots that swept cities across the county from 1965 to 1967 damaged or destroyed additional areas of major cities -- most drastically in Detroit during the 12th Street Riot.
