I think it was all very cool.

as for being there, the word, 'indescribable' comes to mind (assuming it happened)

well let me see. Firefighters were getting shot at, the sky looked like god took a dump in the air, and alot of businesses where destroyed. Somehow how techno didn't really come to mind at that time for me.

Christ 019 bores me to tears.

the LA riots where in 1992 not 1994

The Los Angeles Riots began April 29, 1992. The riots, which were sparked by the not-guilty verdict of four police officers who assaulted Rodney King, lasted for 6 days.

After stopping Mr. King, they used excessive force to apprehend him which was clearly shown in the video tape. George Holiday, the camera man, spread the video tape to a local television station which broadcast it to the L.A. area. The verdict was handed down April 29, 1992; riot ensued. Over 40 dead, 2,000 injured and over 1 billion dollars in property damage was the result of the 6 day riot.

This is a perfect example of a mob mentality. Instead of people realizing that violence will not solve their problem, they follow the lead of other people and loot, start fires, and even kill in some cases.

my family moved away from LA after the riots. i remember that and the stores getting looted and everything. crazy i tell you
