Watts is fortunate that the journey of the US towards the socialist utopia of Venezuela has been slow.

When the rocks started, police should have been authorized to start killing whoever is throwing rocks, right then.

Tensed times. I lived 10 miles away at the time of the riots.

“The commission that investigated the riots recommended better schooling, job training, more low-income housing, public transportation, health services and better relations between the police and the community.”

How about just doing regular air drops of cash from a C-130 into those neighborhoods? It would have had the same effect as what we see today.

the Watts riots
That's racist. Surely the author must mean the Watts Uprising.

0’s solution is to send the residents to live among the successful people, all expenses paid by the successful people.

Better solution: limit immigration and make the current occupants work.

Believe it or not, Watts has a song. It mentions 103rd Street, the main drag, which was turned into "Charcoal Alley" during the riot, as well as the spacious Will Rogers Park (now renamed for labor leader and community organizer Ted Watkins) and the Club Savoy, to the north on Central Ave.

Hispanics are a far cry from blacks in many ways. One of the most important ways is that they do not tolerate blacks in their community, and encourage them to leave. Hispanics have zero “white guilt” about blacks, so can be very blunt about this.
