L.A. riots,17 years ago today (pics)

Here's a song about the riots. Dude said the date wrong, but he was always strung out on heroin, so that's to be expected.

Anyone see the movie Dark Blue it sort of tells a side story to the Rodney King beating of a crooked cop and leads up to the riots. Good Movie IMO.

The death of Latasha Harlins was also a factor. She was caught stealing some orange juice from a Korean store and the store owner shot her in the back and killed her. It was great to see bloods, crips and mexicans all come together for the common cause. Its too bad that things are even more fucked up today, people need to look back on the riots and learn from it and come together again...

actually,mexicans were getting fucked up by blacks at the epicenter of the riots..look at the last pics i posted...and if i'm not mistaken,latasha got shot in the chest after socking the store owner in the face..might be wrong though.

My pops was there with his friend from work, who was black. My pops told me just stuck right by his side and pretty much let everyone know he was "one of the good ones"

i thought she only hit the lady in her shit cause she was being attacked or something.

either way, i think everyone has more guns on ALL sides and if there were to be a riot, it will get even more scummy if one were to happen again.
