Re: [californiadisasters] 1992 Los Angeles Riots, Saturday, 30 April 2016



The event was inevitable.... had it not been triggered by a high-profile trial it would have been triggered by something else.... the trigger and the causes are different things.

Where
Los Angeles
Notes
Between 5 P.M. and 6 P.M. on this date in 1992 the Los Angeles Riots began in two places. One was out in front of Parker Center (LAPD HQ) in downtown L.A. where an at-first peaceful protest turned violent. The other location was at the corner of Florence and Normandy when an angry crowd developed and was not immediately dispersed by the LAPD who withdrew instead. The situation subsequently cascaded out of control from both locations ultimately lasting three days. Over the three days of rioting 53 people were killed and 2,000 injured and nearly a billion dollars in losses were incurred, most if it in the neighborhoods of the rioters.
