Riots do not occur spontaneously. They are planned. Planned from the top, not from the grass roots. What was the purpose of the riot? To scare white and asian homeowners out of the first concentric rings of neighborhoods around the center of Los Angeles, so that migrants could replace them and a cheap labor force could be created for the wholesale markets in the city center (e.g., Produce Market, Flower Market, Furniture Market, Fashion Market, Jewelry Market, Olvera Street, etc). Rodney King was a bigger than life character who didn’t even need to be given a script to play his part in the drama.
