The one thing about those riots, that it brought home the message, about the failure of gun control. The police were told to stand down, and the animals went wild, tearing up the city, I felt real bad about those Korean shop keepers as well as those who had nothing to do with this, who suffered and paid the highest price. Perhaps HCI should thank it's devils, that the internet was not a full force, then as it is today. Of course that riot probably did even more damage to George Bush, in a presidential election year, just the total fecklessness, of that administration, really disgusted me.

I think you're right--I specifically recall that Bush I's job approval, dropping from the 91% pinnacle of the Gulf War the year before, nosed under 50% for the first time that week, and never rebounded.
