I have posted elswhere on FR about this; I was an underage kid at the time, but the call from a family friend was for all males who could safely hold and use a rifle. I went. Didn’t do a whole lot because the kids like me were mostly used to support and provide watch relief for the adults, but at a number of points it was all hands to the walls, weapons ready.
I was further east in K-town, between Wilton and Hoover. I won’t be more specific because CA is *still* trying to prosecute some people who dared defend themselves. They stopped in the 2000s, but I have received word that they have reopened many investigations - because they simply cannot abide the example of people defending themselves, which could be used to upset their carefully supported current riots.
California government is uniformly imbecilic.
