Moe, none of us rioted or acted like a bunch of animals, robbing and looting but we sure as hell protested after that truck driver Reginald D beating. It was chaotic on the college campuses some of the classes were cancelled. And I'm talking Orange County. LA was never the same since. Like NY Los Angeles has it's neighborhoods South Central LA ,Compton and the LGB where Snoop Dog comes from, East LA/Venice beach Santa Monica mainly Hispanic, downtown LA, west Hollyweird, and Beverly Hills. For a very LONG time south central LA or even driving on the freeways down that way was to be avoided. Drive by's were common.
