13th Anniversary of the L.A. Riots permalink

gank GANKUnless you live in a hole in the ground 500 miles below the Earth’s surface, you’ll know it’s the 13th Anniversary of the Los Angeles Riots.

Sparked by Rodney King’s trial outcome (four cops acquitted of beating the shit out of him), the riots raged through South Central, Central, South, and Mid-Central Los Angeles.

Some of the best rioting action ever came from it, and we should all honor it’s ridiculousness.

APRIL 29, 1992 lyrics

Washington Post fondly remembers

Lessons in Command and Control from the military

See how LA’s style compares to other riot styles

Jallow’s bulletin

See how L.A. compares to other riot styles

this fire is out of controlburn baby burn
