More Evidence the World is Going to Hell

It's been nine days of rioting in Paris and outside suburbs all related to what appears to be misinformation about two Muslim youths who were electrocuted when hiding from police (who say they weren't even chasing them) in Paris.

These gangs of young folks sound scary. One could view this through the lens of radical Islam, because most of the youth are Muslim, but it does not really appear to have roots in the terror infrastructure, ie Wahhabism, Al Quedism, or even the other Palestinian or Lebanese terror groups. There's something else here, a class of poor youth eager for violence, more akin to New Orleans or those gang of skater kids around USC who are just itching for an excuse to act out. It's not just France. But who knows, who knows?
