I was in high school and I remember naively thinking “this might be the worst thing I ever witness in my lifetime”.
Then Oklahoma City happened and then 9/11 and then Katrina and then... life just likes to throw us some crazy, grizzly shite just when we start feeling ok about the world.

Those four worthless pieces of dogshit getting off as easy as they did is infuriating. They should have all gotten 30 years, at minimum.
The worst part is that Reginald Denny went on to act like he deserved it. What a loser.

Wonder how many of the people in those photos are still alive.

A bunch of stupid bastards burning down their own neighborhood is what I remember.
But yet the white man is keeping them down.

On February 1, 2004, Antoine Miller was shot outside of a Hollywood nightclub during an altercation and died

There was a riot on the streets
Tell me where were you?
You were sittin' home watchin' your TV
While I was participating in some anarchy
(Yes he messed up the date. But the rest of the take was so awesome, they said they couldn't do it over..."

The Reginald Denny footage is still etched on my brain.

I 'member.

I was there and lived it.
No, not all the African Americans were apart of the riots nor did they appreciate the thugs destroying their neighborhoods.

They sure did. Kept the looters out of their store. Then the national guard came in. They weren’t as successful.

Yep. Remember it well.

There was a riot on streets
Tell me where were you?
You were sittin' home watchin' your TV
While I was participating in some anarchy
First spot we hit it was my liquor store
I finally got all that alcohol I can't afford
With red lights flashin', time to retire
And then we turned that liquor store into a structure fire
The next stop we hit, it was the music shop,
It only took one brick to make the window drop
Finally we got our own P.A.
Where do you think I got this guitar that you're hearing today?
When we returned to the pad to unload everything
It dawned on me that I need new home furnishings
So once again we filled the van until it was full
Since that day my livin' room's been much more comfortable
'Cause everybody in the hood has had it up to here
It's getting harder, and harder, and harder each and every year
Some kids went in a store with their mother
I saw her when she came out she was gettin' some Pampers
They said it was for the black man
They said it was for the Mexican
And not for the white man
But if you look at the streets,
It wasn't about Rodney King
In this fricked-up situation and these fricked-up police
It's about comin' up and stayin' on top
And screamin' "1-8-7" on a mother frickin' cop
It's not in the paper, it's on the wall
National guard
Smoke from all around

I love Bill Hick's piece on Reginald. Something to the effect of just hitting the fricking gas.

Shite man, they sent in the Marines too. I had buddies from Camp Pendleton that wasted an entire weekend guarding a grocery store in Compton.

Hard to forget. I will always believe one of the reasons OJ got acquitted was to prevent another riot.
