	Interesting article right up until this point. 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.
