There was a quote from one of the looters on Fox, I forget the exact words, but it was something to the effect of this is our way of getting back at society that was holding us down.
THAT was a prevalent thought after the riots here in El Lay..

Here's the dynamic.

The color of the people don't matter in this story, it just shows how stupid people are when they spew this kinda attitiude.


The reason that the looters were targeting the small mom an pop stores owned by this other group is that, "They came into our neighborhood, took over the stores and started to rip us off...."

The store owners, took up station on the roofs of their businesses and were prepared to shoot looters-they did pop caps over the rioters heads and to this day they was never any reports of shop owners being charged with any crimes.

And all this was done with the "blessing" of the LAPD, who had their hands full with people who could not defend themselves their businesses and homes.

Having been in thru about 5 pretty big earthquakes here in CA, I can honestly say that I don't remember seeing any real looting after that. Some people lost everything, but we did not lose our minds or our pride.
