Riots of rare violence raised the district's Cauldron yesterday at 15 h 30. Hundreds of people have managed to force the gates of the symbol of the claim: the Score supermarket. The overflow continued late into the night. 
Hundreds of young, his face covered by a cloth, throw pebbles on rollers. Looted a supermarket. Of forces required to move permanently, but failed to get hold of an "enemy" strong and elusive. Yesterday, the general strike has turned into a riot. And this is indeed the Cauldron that the spark has taken, 15 to 30 h. A hundred people gathered in the parking lot of the Cauldron Score supermarket. The atmosphere is rather quiet for the moment. It is to decide what to do: return to calm or fire. "Do not burn our stores," mutters a mother. Around her, the agitation. Some elements of the group of demonstrators, slightly edgy, call for insurrection. The police are currently absent from the site. Only the tray waiting at the corner Leconte de Lisle and rue Françoise Chatelain.
Little game of hide and seek
The group seems to disperse. Until a handful of young masked men take things in hand. They take garbage cans, waving high above their heads, rush to the doors of the supermarket and broke the windows. Other smash the kicking. This is the signal. Now, journalists are no longer welcome in the parking lot of the Cauldron. A reporter is even breaking his camera. Minutes later, the police intervened. Heavy helmets, they project tear gas and tear instant, producing large blast. The little game of hide and seek begins. It will last all afternoon until late at night. The staff manage to push the protesters on the side of the roundabout Cadjee. But the real battle has yet to occur. Four trucks dropping off a squad of gendarmes, to block the passage to the rioters. They have no other choice but to retreat inside the district, a real trap where they are kings. With a main target: the Score.
The robbers enter the store
At 17 pm, youth climbed onto the roof of the supermarket. jets of rollers on the law enforcement continue. 17 to 30 pm, police officers who become targets too easy, must retire. This is the signal to attack the Jumbo Score. A hundred youths rush against the shutters and try to force them. They do this a few minutes later. Few dozen people get inside and face the guards. Reportedly, the director of the score calls himself an individual trying to rob his store. A robber comes out with a plasma screen, which he brandished like a trophy to the cheers of his friends. Some men even tried to set fire to the Score. Minutes later, the forceful intervention of police, supported by the mobile police, ends the looting. But the return of calm has not returned. Around 19 pm, many people descended on foot senior to participate or "admire" the "show". At 21 h, groups of rioters continued to harass the score around. The management of the supermarket uses security officers and dog handlers to ensure safety in the shop. At 22 h, the mobile police continued to fire tear gas on the twenty young still present on site. Stamped traditional place of beginnings of a riot, the Cauldron has paid the price yesterday. And it is the symbol of the recent claims of COSPAR, a supermarket, temple of consumption, which was the main target and logical.
