I would rather have the riots than a man be railroaded to prison and I lived through the L.A. riots.

Would you mind sharing what you saw and heard there? Thanks.

The police were no where to be found. The air was smoky and ash was falling down like a light drizzle. You could’nt get the smoke out of you nose. The public bus service shut down for several days and I had to walk the five miles from work to home. Lucky that I had a ride to work in the morning. A lot of people resorted to bicycles (several people way out of shape) riding on sidewalks because they were to afraid to ride in the streets. There was a early curfew enacted and neighbors sat on rooftops armed including my hubby. I felt a lot better when they sent in the National Guard. Of course the closes places for looting to my home was a Circuit City and the Max Factor museum to steal Madonna’ bra.
