What is the cause of the Paris riots in 2005?
The French do not describe the riots as Parisian, as they did not happen in Paris proper, but only in the suburban area known here as "banlieue", the social housing zones around major towns. These areas concentrate a range of problems revolving mostly around immigration and lack of integration into mainstream French society, unemployement, and crime. While girls (even coming from foreign backgrounds) perform correctly at school, there is a problem with young boys, fuelling an deep sense of social deprivation. That makes these areas very sensitive. The death of two teenagers who broke into an electrical facility while hiding from the police, triggered anger and the ensuing unrest.

April 1968 Los Angeles race riots?
Did not materialize or were not categorized as riots ( I can recall a Dragnet coverage of anti-riot precautions taken by LAPD in response to the King assasination. No riot erupted in L.A. at this time, fingers were, no pun intended, crossed. ( My dad never used this phrase as he thought it was making fun of the Praying Hands!)

What are bad reasons to protest in school for example Tinker v. Des Moines?
The take-away lesson is not that "protesting in school" is bad, but that the school can't punish students for expressing their opinions, even if the opinion is unpopular. Protests are acceptable as long as they aren't disruptive and don't interfere with other people's rights. The school can't preemptively infringe students' rights simply because they fear a peaceful expression of protest might cause problems.
Background
Tinker v. Des Moines involved three students who were suspended from school for wearing black armbands as a passive protest against the United States' involvement in Viet Nam. The students weren't disruptive, and their behavior didn't interfere with the school's educational mission or interfere with other people's rights. They were punished simply because the school disapproved of their expression of opinion. (Oddly, the same school permitted students to wear jewelry displaying Nazi symbols.)
The Court held that First Amendment protection adhered in school because the Fourteenth Amendment selectively applied the Bill of Rights to the states, and were not abandoned in the school environment. "First Amendment rights, applied in light of the special characteristics of the school environment, are available to teachers and students. It can hardly be argued that either students or teachers shed their constitutional rights to freedom of speech or expression at the schoolhouse gate."
The Supreme Court supported students' right to the expression of opinion, even controversial opinion, in the school environment, but did not abrogate the school's right to maintain appropriate order and discipline.

How did the Irish and blacks fight in the New York City Draft Riots?
They did not fight. There were no black mobs participating in the riot. Blacks were the victims, along with the rich. They were brutally attacked and lynched. Rioters attacked using their bare hands, and/or any other object they could find that could be used as a weapon.
Furthermore, the rioters were not exclusively Irish. Rioters consisted of poor whites of all nationalities and ethnicities. The Irish were the largest group, but that is only because there were more Irish immigrants in New York City at the time than any other nationality. The Irish were immigrating to the U.S. in huge numbers because the Potato Famine (which took place roughly from 1845 to 1852) forced them to flee Ireland.
How long after death can you protest will?
Generally, you have a specific period of time to contest a will once it has been filed for probate. The time period varies in different jurisdictions. When you receive a notice that the will has been filed in probate court and someone has petitioned to be appointed the executor the notice should tell you the date by which you must file your objection. You must make certain to follow the rules or you will lose your chance to object. If you have any questions about filing the objection you can inquire at the probate court on the notice.

Because many who travel to the US have families back in Mexico. It is much easier an quicker in monetary terms to find a job in the US than to stay and fight the government.
However, many people stay in Mexico and organize countrywide protests against problems such as insecurity or poverty.
Finally, just think about one thing: No matter how many protests were held against George W. Bush, he continued with his own vision of what America should be. If that happens in America, what makes you think such protests would make a difference in a poorer, less democratic country such as Mexico?
