The riots in France--not a student protest

My computer screen opened with the amazing Millau Viaduct in southern France built to relieve the tourist traffic in that scenic area and only recently surpassed by China as an engineering wonder. I wondered how it had survived the unrest. No mention. But that put me into the news at "France24." French media are just as naive and dumb as ours--still say it's a student protest. Dumb as U.S. Democrats.
