Hehe, you forgot to mention that...
After the korean snipers were televised, there began this stereotyping that koreans were violent and would use firearms against blacks.
Koreatown and the rest (I'm not sure of which areas) were left to burn while the police were sent to guard Beverly Hills. No joke. It was practically fortified there.
There was fire fire everywhere. Looters included all people including Latinos and... well there's a list somewhere.
Some stores would put up a giant sign that would say something like "Black Owned" so they wouldn't be looted.
Oh dang, I was actually going to talk about this to some guildies here. I thought it was just a random thought, but I had no idea today was the anniversary.
Oh and this riot was one of the biggest city riots in history. It was crazy."
