I still like the suggestion from earlier  Drunken yobs beating up other people because they can  Ethnic is no good because ethnic basically means nonanglo saxon and mostly anglos were involved here even if there was a small number of nonwhites as well  Race riot pretty much covers what happened one group attacking people because of their race  The French riots werent especially aimed at people  Most of the damage was to property  That was more about class or underclass  Here the riots are not obviously about class but race  And in both countries there were not a large number of migrants involved the french rioters and westies being mostly nd generation and the surfies probably rd th or th generation at a rough guess  As discussed earlier there really has only been one real riot  And as discussed earlier the other titles as with the current title in fact cover a lot more territory than just the events of recent days  Regards
