Description
Introduction: A Tale of Two Conflicts On October 27, 2005, a group of adolescents from Clichy-sous-Bois, a poorer town neighboring Paris, were walking home after spending the afternoon playing soccer at a nearby sports complex when a local resident, who claimed to see them loitering at a construction site, called the police. At the sight of an approaching squad car, the teenagers fled. Most were quickly apprehended, but three evaded the police by ducking into a nearby electrical substation. This game of cat and mouse soon turned deadly when these three youths were electrocuted. Two died instantly; the third was badly burned but managed to make it back home, where word of the electrocutions spread quickly. Outraged, neighborhood youth descended on Clichy-sous-Bois's streets that evening, torching cars, smashing store windows, and vandalizing bus stop shelters. Despite police reinforcement, the disturbance escalated during the following days, spreading first to the outer fringes of Paris proper and then to urban peripheries across France before finally subsiding three full weeks later.
