20,000 people arrived in jena the day the ring leader was scheduled to be sentenced then. Then the DA dropped one of the charges.

Shreveport Called a 'Powder Keg' After Rioting
September 22, 1988|Associated Press
SHREVEPORT, La. — Black leaders warned Wednesday against a recurrence of violence after hundreds of angry blacks burned stores and rioted in the streets when a white teen-age girl fatally shot a black man.

It could happen anywhere there isn't a strong Korean community.

It could happen, but they would just trash ghetto businesses. I don't see Town Center or Perkins Rowe getting hit.

This. You can't make black folks happy. White cop shoots black criminal; the world's racist. 6 black kids put a white kid in the hospital and get charged; the world's racist. Guess what black America? It's not me, it's you.

People are dreaming if they think gun totin' homeowners would all be out protecting their property
1) most people are too cowed to be that active
2)if that happened the Fed govt would call it another civil war and come in to kill the gunnies

I'm surprised it hasn't happened in New Iberia after the "handcuffed Suicide".

I'm going to go with False.
With the caveat that it could happen in New Orleans, Baton Rouge, or Shreveport - on an extremely limited level if it was only supported by locals.
However, don't ignore the effect and capacity of all these outside, mainly anarchist and Marxist groups, to come in and gin up rage and a violent reaction.
All that is needed is:
A. Poor black community of sufficient size
B. Catalyst of a racially charged incident
C. A driving force, either local organizations, outside organizations or some combination.
Get black folks out in the streets with signs and slogans - get them marching and while they're engaging the police, start burning $hit - that's how all these incidents go and have gone for half a century.

Half the posters in Baton Rouge are afraid to go north of Florida Blvd after 1pm...they aren't stopping anybody. It can happen anywhere.

Police chief came under fire at the time for saying "let it burn" or something along those lines.

Hundreds of black people burned two stores and threw stones at whites early today after a a black man was fatally shot in what one witness described as a drug deal gone sour. A white woman was charged in the killing.
Heavily armed police sealed off a 12-block area tonight after hearing sporadic gunfire in the neighborhood where the shooting took place. There were more reports of rocks being thrown, but there were no more injuries or arrests, the police said.
Officials of this northwest Louisiana city of about 225,000 people met with black leaders today to discuss the disturbance, and afterward the black leaders warned against a recurrence of violence. State Representive Alphonse Jackson, who is black, called for a biracial anticrime committee and said: ''People want protection. I call on citizens to restore law and order.''
quote:
Police Chief Charles Gruber said his car took a brick through the windshield and gunfire through the back passenger door. A television news car was burned and a new fire department pumper was attacked with bats and bricks.
No serious injuries were reported, which was attributed in part to Gruber's decision to let the disturbance run its course. Throughout the incident, police radios crackled with orders to maintain positions and hold fire.
At least four people were reportedly taken into custody and booked on charges ranging from inciting to riot to resisting arrest.

Ferguson type riots could happen in Louisiana given a similar case
Yes, particularly at the UREC if big guy doesn't rack his fricking weights when he's done with leg day.

Pffft Please. I promise you those rioters wouldnt go near a home with someone holding a shotgun in their hands. They just pick on the easiest target that wont resist.

Whites and Blacks would get shot to death.
Posted on 11/25/14 at 2:54 pm to toosleaux
False to an extent. LA recognizes justifiable homicide for protection of a business so business owners are legally allowed to shoot looters. This would definitely deter the looting and burning of buildings. I do think that LA could see a lot of street violence during protests though(i.e. burned out cars, broken windows, etc.)
Posted on 11/25/14 at 2:55 pm to More beer please
in general rioters stay in their own neighborhoods and destroy their own shite, if they'd "cross the tracks" to the good side of town I'm sure the police would act accordingly
