Riots on Halloween night spilled over from the streets of Paris — as well as other popular tourist areas in Spain and Italy — to Switzerland.Video footage of Zurich showed trash cans set alight and blocking the road in an area around the Helvetia Platz public square. Reports also indicated that rioters were throwing glass bottles at emergency services.“They dragged dumpsters, e-bikes, and scooters into the street and lit them on fire,” wrote X influencer Gunther Eagleman.“They fired rockets at police water cannons and smashed store windows. They even broke into a Coop grocery store and threw the bread in the street,” he added.

When is a small personal contribution to a large harm morally significant?
