Back from the city of lights

As mentionned earlier on this blog, I went on a trip to Paris..by accident, this trip took place while riots were happening in Paris suburbs'.
During my short trip, I was really stunned by the city's pretty face, and even the few locals I talked to were really nice to me..I even had the chance to see the president from a 10 meter distance of so - there was an official ceremony taking place in honor of General de Gaule - so what ?
At first sight, everything looked really great, but I really had a strange feeling: How was it possible that some youngsters living so close to this wonderful city were so desperate that they would set their neighbour's car on fire, or still 'better', their local kindergarden?
I had some kind of an explanation when I took the underground late in the evening to catch my train at the Gare du Nord: I experienced a problem with a young guy, while the station was full of police and soldiers..and the guy told me 'anyway, I've got nothing to loose'. I managed to exit from this situation with no damage, but I really understood Paris's suburbs is a timebomb, close to explosion...How do you stop people who think they have nothing to loose ? Surely not by delivering the kind of political mismanagement the way the last governments did..It's really time for a change..give these guys some hope..happy people don't burn cars.
