Democratic Rep. Maxine Waters (Calif.) spoke to the Huffington Post on Thursday and fondly remembered the 1992 Los Angeles riots, insisting they were actually an "insurrection."
More than 50 people were killed during the riots, with thousands more injured and over $1 billion in property damage. But Waters told the Huffington Post that the L.A. riots were "a milestone in the history of black people demanding justice."
"These were people who had been basically forgotten," Waters said. "And because of Rodney King's beating and the current emotion that was stirring in that, it was like people were saying, We're here. You can't do this to us. Look what you're doing, look how you've been.'"

Yeah, she used the same term when the riots were going on. This just reminds me how long that fossil has been fouling up Congress.
Maybe we can’t just get along.
At least as long as people are believing lies.
Tell that to the Koreans in downtown LA. They saw it differently.
Still trying to get the old magic of the 60’s back.
When you’ve turned your back on God you got to find meaning in your life by other means.
Yeah, whatever, they sure as hell ran like cowards when the F’n Marines showed up, didn’t they...Damn right.
I only wish they had stood their ground and fought on...I celebrated that day when the Marines arrived on the scene and took control of the situation.
This wasn’t a mass protest. This was a destroying and looting rampage.
Tell that to Reginald Denny.
That goes for a lot of people, not just black people.
The happiest, most successful black people I have seen are the ones who want to do deals that everybody involved is happy with. Not act like a troop of mad monkeys.
And Jeff Vink.
I remember watching it on TV. One scene was in a auto-parts store parking lot. A car drove up, 4 people ran inside the store and brought out tires with rims.....
They jacked up the car and the tires did not fit, so they ran back inside and got 4 more that did fit.
I remember asking my mom why isn’t anybody stopping them? Shooting at firemen, it was awful.
This sociali... um... um... liberal wants to get to communism through their racist manipulation of Americans, who happen also to be black, into violent insurrection. Vile.
“L.A.’s Korean-American community faced the brunt of the “insurrection” as a favorite target of the “rebels.”
Funny thing, the Korean shopkeepers got up on their roofs with rifles and shot a bunch of the MFers. One of my cousins was in the CA National Guard at the time and he manned a machine gun at one intersection. That’s how bad the “insurrection” was. Waters brain is a lonely place, just one brain cell frantically looking for another.
Maxine, you ignorant slut.
Reginald Denny vehemently disagrees the LA riots were about “black people demanding justice.”
Bitch.
This demented old sow equates a good ol’ ghetto riot and looting spree with “demonstrating for minority rights”. The Koreans with the rifles, shooting looters, had the right idea. Put this four legged mental case out front and center. Maybe someone will put her out of our misery. She just spouts hateful racist libtard nonsense like a busted Chatty Cathy doll.
Yep, you don’t mess with Koreans. Cops won’t come to help? OK, then, the Koreans will arm themselves and shoot at anything that moves. That’s one way to keep looters at bay!
I’ve asked that many times. I would think that she would have the good sense to keep her big trap shut....(I think I just undermined my own statement there. She has no sense). I hope Sessions will revisit this.
According to my cousin who, lost a business in a the riots, the main cause were the blacks were accusing the Koreans of getting extra guberment help. When the fact was the Koreans were all working and pooling their money to start businesses to get ahead.
