Why is Paris Burning?

Steven Den Beste offers several theories.
How long will this go on for? Will it peter out, or expand into a fullscale conflagration? If anyone claims to have the answer to that question, you can be sure they're lying. All we can really do is wait and see.

Things to watch for: the first policeman killed by gunfire, the first rioter killed by gunfire, the first use of French army units in the cités, the first bombing, the rate at which this spreads elsewhere in France and in Europe as a whole.
