Yeah, I know the feeling. It's all over 20 years ago now. I'll tell you, though, I have some GOOD riot stories. Wilshire was kind of where the wave of looting crested, and we stood in front of our apartment building watching looters repeatedly trying to get into the Adray's appliance store down on the corner. At one point I had to take my dog out and got up to the corner at the other end of the block, only to see a four-man SWAT team peering around the next corner.

A few blocks away, down at Fairfax and Olympic, there was a little strip mall with liquor store and a gun store called Gun Heaven. As soon as the trouble started, the gun store owner called in all his employees to defend the place. At one point, gangbangers told them to leave, but they refused and the gangs left the whole strip mall alone. So on Saturday, when stuff had settled down, the liquor store next door was the only place anywhere around where you could buy beer. And you NEEDED a beer at that point.

I was watching on TV. Did you see when that car pulled into the auto parts store? they jacked up the car. They went into the store and ran out with 4 new tires and wheels, tried to put them on the car. They didn’t like them or they didn’t fit and the perps ran back in the store and came out with 4 more. Put those on and drove off.
