We take a look at who is responsible for the violence that broke out in France on October 17. We dive into who the casseurs, or lawbreakers, are and how a bill is proposing that they pay for the damage they caused. We also discuss the French governmentโ€™s mea culpa and the ongoing political blame game, with a budding controversy over whether the vandals were "ultra-left" members or not.
