Chocolate Rain 'Flippin cars in France the other night This is probably about the riots in Paris either back in the 90's, very well displayed in the movie "Hate", or as well in 2005 and 2007 in relation to the presidential election. Sarkozy, the french president had promised to cleansweep the suburbs of Paris of the criminal elements, mostly referring to arab and black migrants. In both instances it was being received as a very one-sided and populist campaign against criminality amongst migrants, while at the same time corrupt politicians and industrial criminals got away with a slap on the wrist.
