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?

Of all the things that bothered me that older black dude who had just had his business robbed or something that was berating everyone around him talking about how he came up through the ghetto too. That was heavy. I felt worse for that guy than anyone else.
