How rap music was blamed for the Paris riots
Clichy-sous-Bois, the impoverished and segregated north-eastern
suburb of Paris where the two men lived and where the violent reaction
to their deaths began, was a ticking bomb for the kind of dramatic
social upheaval we are currently witnessing. ...A simple gesture of
regret could go a long way towards defusing the tensions for now. The
morning after the gassing of the mosque, a young Muslim woman summed up
a widespread feeling: "We just want them to stop lying, to admit they've
done it and to apologise." -- NAIMA BOUTELDJA -- "The Explosion in the
Suburbs: Paris is Burning"
"Samedi soir, au moment de la rupture du jeûne (vers 18h30), les 400 CRS
et gendarmes, dont une partie vient de Chalon s/saone, sont sortis un
peu partout dans la cité du Chêne pointu. Comme à l’accoutumée, il
s’agissait d’encercler - "de boucler" - le quartier. Don quichottisme
policier : en cohorte, à la façon des légions romaines, au pas de
course, visière baissée, bouclier au bras, et flashball à la main, ils
parcourent les rues une à une contre des ennemis invisibles....Pourquoi
cette démonstration de force alors même que les rues étaient
particulièrement calmes ?" -- Antoine Germa -- "Clichy-sous-Bois : zone
de non-droits ou zone d’injustices ?"

On 27th October 2005, teenagers Zyed Benna and Bouna Traore climbed into
an electrical sub-station in the Parisian banlieue of Clichy-sous-Bois,
and were electrocuted.
Their deaths sparked three weeks of riots that tore across France, and
ignited a debate that could have serious repercussions for freedom of
speech and for French rap music.
Weeks after the riots politician François Grosdidier filed a petition
signed by 200 French MPs to bring legal action against seven French rap
acts, for inflammatory lyrics and 'hatred of France'.
Annie Mac investigates the story of how rap took the blame for the
French riots…

viciously by the police, very suspiciously by the public, and they're
