Honestly, the couple of idiots at the end being interviewed pissed me off. They kept offering extremely flimsy disclaimers while justifying the beating of Reginald Denny. frick those thugs.

I knew about the Reginald Denny beating and the robbery of drivers on Florence and Normandie. However, I did not know about the beating of Fidel Lopez and the Reverend that saved his life.

I'll never find a way to justify the beating of random people and the burning of the city. But it doesn't surprise me. It seems like a slow boil that finally blew up because people were (and still are) feed up with the LAPD.

Also, did anyone else find it a bit funny that the public was showing up to the trial like it was a concert?
