California has gone full Gotham.

Next stop — Mad Max

I had to watch the video to be sure. "Street takeover" didn't mean people standing in the road blocking traffic in "protest" and someone trying to use his car to escape.

"Street takeover" meant the late night hod rodding, drag racing, donuts (in this case reverse donuts), etc.

Suppressed .22 rifles. Jeff Cooper’s answer to this kind of nonsense.

Watch those crowds, they get psycho googoo watching a car drive in circles burning rubber. Then everything amps up and the crowd goes into frenzy and viciously turn on the drivers who run over some of the participants. Fun night for the cuckoos!

I’m an old man.
I grew up across the river from Compton.
(yes there is a Los Angeles river)
We never went there, and people from
Compton had a hard time surviving in
Paramount CA.
Hispanics and Blacks didn’t mix very well.
I was a white kid caught in the middle.
I tried to get a job in Compton,
owner said no! although he admitted I was well qualified,
I’m a white guy and he was concerned for my safety
I will say this; Compton, is hell on earth,
I pray for anybody still living there.
I know who in America are the real Racists are!
They aren’t white and they don’t speak Spanish.

Never saw High School Confidential until last night. (1958)
One scene had hot rodders taking over the streets and barely missing the groups of onlookers outside. Just like the LA street donuts at night.

Jan Sterling as the high school teacher upstaged the glamourous Mamie Van Doren. Was 37 looking 22.

No sane law-abiding citizen is out and about in Compton at 2 am.
