"During the days immediately preceding the violence, RCP [The Revolutionary Communist Party] -- which maintained close ties to the L.A. gangs known as the Crips and the Bloods -- had circulated throughout South Central Los Angeles a leaflet featuring a statement by RCP National Spokesman Carl Dix, titled 'It's Right To Rebel' -- a quote popularized by Mao Zedong.
Encouraged by Dix, RCP activists helped lead the riots that would leave 58 people dead, more than 2,300 people injured, some 5,300 buildings burned, and $1 billion in property damaged or destroyed. On the ten-year anniversary of the rioting, RCP member Joseph Veale fondly recalled the violence as 'the most beautiful, the most heroic civil action in the history of the United States.'"

"NEVER FORGET that Maxine Waters embraced Damien Williams, the infamous thug who hurled a chunk of concrete at truck driver Reginald Denny and performed a victory dance over this innocent mans battered body. Maxine Waters even visited Damien Williams mother to offer her support.
Williams was sent to prison on a single felony charge of mayhem, but when his accomplices got off, Waters joined in the celebration. Damien Williams was released a few years later and went on to [commit] murder... Also, no surprise, he was a member of the Crips."

Maxine Waters on the Los Angeles riots of 1992 (Rodney King riots):
"In defense of the people that looted stores and damaged property, [Maxine] Waters said 'If you call it a riot it sounds like it was just a bunch of crazy people who went out and did bad things for no reason. I maintain it was somewhat understandable, if not acceptable. So I call it a rebellion.'[5]
She also said it was 'a spontaneous reaction to a lot of injustice' and 'The anger in my district is righteous. I'm just as angry as they are'. "

I remember that well, Reginald Denny was damn lucky he survived that attack.

I’m sure that got her the “street cred” she needed to be continuously-elected, too.
A few years after the riots, I saw Reginald Denny in a Penneys store at our Mall, 2 valleys north of LA. He was just shopping and I thought I wonder if that is Denny. When he turned to walk in a different direction, I saw the left side of his skull had a permanent depression. So, yes it was him. I remember after he had recovered from the beating, he was being interviewed on TV and said my daughter sometimes calls me Reginald Denty. He seemed to have a good attitude. I sure dont think I would have a good attitude after that beating. The Dems always feel entitled to act out......they need to be HELD ACCOUNTABLE for their words and actions. We have free speech, but you are not allowed to shout fire in a crowded place.
Thanks you so much for posting this series of images again. We must never forget and never forgive.
Ahead of their times for following Hillary’s advice to not be “civil.”
My feelings always go out to Reginald Denny for being so innocent as to get out of the truck cab to talk with them. He said he had no truck radio and was totally unaware of the black violence going on elsewhere that day.
I was in working in Detroit during the July,1967 black riots and we were not told about the riots the first day by the news media. The media endangered lives by this. Even at Tiger Stadium the Detroit Tigers owner told the booth crew to not utter a word about the rioting and looting nearby—but many were feeling afraid when they saw distant black smoke getting closer. Terrible to censor news. See my tagline.
