Then it gets just plain stupid. I don't know where you've been buddy, but all the white people are booking for home by 4:30 so they're not outside when the black people start killing and burning and looting again. Maybe you missed the footage of the first victim, pulled from his semi- and mauled. They've done that 40 times now. No white person with half a brain would be doing anything except staying inside. The ones unfortunate enough to be caught outside would be fighting for their lives, and if that caused damage then I'd like to commend them on a job well done. I'm new to California. I don't know how the police have treated black people here. But as far as these riots are concerned, the issue is very black and white, in both senses of the phrase. Tom Tignor tpt2@isi.edu
