France's Riot Vs. Insurgency

Riot: you get a group of people who are angry/excited about a cause or event then mix in A) another group angry back at them for what they want to express
-OR-
B) police trying to stop the first angry group from expressing themselves in an unruly way.

That's how you make a riot. It's quick and ugly. Frustrations are vented and people go home.

insurgency:

take a group of people who are angry at their local authority. Organize and disperse them among frustrated groups of people in a large area. Attack using any method available. Repeat attacks until goals are met.

Now is France under day 14 of a riot? Unlikely based on these definitions.
