		if you had seen or been awake to see any other footage other
besides, you myoptic view of a "white" guy getting assaulted, you would
have seen that on thursday the looters were also, and not a small minority,  
whites going out for a joy ride looting to get their material items, there
were plenty of whites and latinos and all other races out there.  
	what you may not see is that there are whites living in the ghettos
and in the gangs.  The media chooses not to show them because that would mean  
that we would have to see gang members as humans.  
	this thing goes farther than race, class also.  and if anyone had half  
a brain, they could see that also.  
	by the way, as for whites defending themselves, try calling it  
protecting the status quo.  if people are sooo worried about loosing money and 
being rich, they get what they deserve.  AMERICA IS THE LAND THAT IS IN THE
GRIP OF THE EVIL CULT OF THE DOLLAR.

	if you are new to California, you should not be new to our countries  
history.  or at least not taking what you read and hear at face value and for  
the truth.  
	you can only keep another human being down for so long.  We all bleed  
red.  capitalism is the killer.
