What is not mentioned here is that in the Rodney King Riots, nearly 20 years ago, more than 50 people died, thousands were injured, some 1100 buildings burned with a billion in losses, in 1992 dollars.<br /><br />I thought this summed up some of the key differences between the U.S. and the U.K., in the context of guns versus not guns:<br />"Open gun battles were televised as Korean shopkeepers shot at the mob to protect their businesses, and most likely their lives, from crowds of violent looters, some of whom were armed." (from wikipedia, which I checked for a handy - if lazy - reference for the specific numbers).<br /><br />I applaud the Brit response, controlled, and courageous.

Happy to hear you're OK. No major rioting in the US since 92 Rodney King verdict as JoJo mentioned.Catch Her in the Wryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13052541966405145087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5046172520958527381.post-44502140201525283992011-08-09T20:38:07.055+01:002011-08-09T20:38:07.055+01:00I was going to make the obligatory White Riot comm...I was going to make the obligatory White Riot comment but you beat me to the punch at the end of your post. lol<br /><br />Seriously though, this happened in LA and other cities after the Rodney King Assault verdict back in 92. San Francisco saw it's share of civil disobedience and it was creepy as hell going to work the morning after the mayhem, and seeing all the destruction downtown.JoJohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18165375435543044068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5046172520958527381.post-75857032182725335822011-08-09T17:10:21.910+01:002011-08-09T17:10:21.910+01:00Holy crap.
