The PBS doc on this is probably one of the best I've ever seen. Last time I checked it was on netflix. It's crazy how the LAPD retreated early. They ain't want no smoke.

what's that joint called?

I was going to school in New York at the time and I remember hearing that cacs were scared it was gonna kick off out there too.

Some of the kids in my school was going around randomly attacking cac kids nearby lol. It was crazy.

that shyt was wild as hell. i remeber being with my family and watching a dude running down the street full gallop with a king size matress on his back

how is that even possible
Maybe it was a full size and it looked like a king during all the chaos.

Anyhow moms lived in la and I came out a few months after. Every single household has new furniture, TVs, accessories. They was still making trades, selling shyt. And yes lapd was still in check.
I remember the Korean stores still had “black owned” spray painted on the fronts. Like who y’all fooling?

dude, the mattress was bigger than he was by a margin and he was running for his life. i will never forget that shyt.

and yeah people were bragging about their gains. my grandmother was pissed. she threatened my aunt not to bring any ill gotten shyt around her house or she would beat the shyt out of her

Moms had moved us outta LA to West Covina just months b4 it went down. We moved back almost a year after it went down, LA looked like a world war was fought in it. shyt was crazy. And cacs weren't welcome in them LA, Compton, Watts streets.

Reginald Denny was the original CAC

Tattle Tale ass Cac

 

[Kid Dynamite]

Not to derail the thread but it's crazy how I'm watching Def Comedy Jam on Prime and damn near every joke is about the LA Riots... This was something important that seems to get overlooked nowadays

I’m saying tho. The sofa has manageable leverage. A king my nicca, that shyt is mad hard to move with two ppl. Shyts all floppy and awkward. Now imagine running with it.
Box spring MAYBE but mattress naaa. Not one guy.
