Who was living in L.A. doing the Riots back then?

[SanchoPanda]

I was 8 at the time so couldn't do a damn thing. Had to listen to my cartoons on the radio since power was out for about a week.

Stayed by King and Main btw

Deaths during the riots - Spreadsheets - Los Angeles Times

More than 60 people lost their lives amid the looting and fires that ravaged the city over five days starting April 29, 1992. Ten were shot to death by law enforcement officials. An additional 44 people died in other homicides or incidents tied to the rioting. By year’s end, Los Angeles had 1,096 homicides, a record. 1992 remains L.A.'s deadliest year.

So much for the stereotype that Londoners are more enlightened.

I often wonder what would set that kinda shyt off again today...

I was bout 9 when it cracked off. Grew up on 74th and Fig so I had a nice view of everything. Me, my big bro and some cuzzins were all standing on the corner of Florence and Figueroa watching it start. My uncles and my older cuzzins were in the mix, getting what they could. Be obviously only being 9 had to stay on the block.

Damn, we about the same age then.

My dad owned a little pizza franchise on King & Western. That shyt got burnt up along w the whole shopping center.

Thankfully we had moved from our spot on 77th & Hobart years prior, or we would've been living in the middle of it all. I was living a few miles north of the 10 freeway, so you know the cops was extra vigilant, making sure nothing got burned down.
