To bring you up to speed, the 92, LA riots were the largest in American history. I have not a clue what your last post was all about. LOL!

You obviously never heard of the New York Draft Riots of 1863 where HUNDREDS of people were killed, much of Manhattan was burned to the ground and Lincoln had to call in troops from the south to put down the disorder.

Again, I never referred to the number of people killed. Never did.

I was referring to the *largest*, *most destructive* riot in American history. There was only one my friend. And that was the 1992 LA riots.......No other. LOL!

Oh dear... Gangs of New York? Yes you are right. Many an immigrant went to their deaths barely setting foot on this land.
