There's a difference between demonstrating and rioting... in my opinion, rioters should get gassed and arrested. The ones attacking innocents in the streets should be shot.

Damn right!!!
This is spot on! I do not recall seeing to many angry rioters in the news casts during those riots. Mostly what you saw were a bunch of folks laughing and smiling while stealing other folks stuff and destroying others property.
I believe it was a case where a majority of people were taking advantage of the anger of a small group and using the cover of that anger as an excuse to have a good time at the expense of others.

It was simply about race at that point. I think there was a lot of pent up tension between the Vietnamese and Black community before that, and the riots basically gave people a cart blanche to attack anything not Black.
Slightly different topic, but I heard an interview with one of the local news helicopter pilots here in OKC a year or two ago. One of his first helicopter jobs was for a station in LA during the riots, and he said there were so many helicopters flying around, when he spoke with ATC they basically told him he was on his own as far as avoidance with the other helicopters went.

Before the cop trial a Korean shop owner got off with shooting a young black girl in the back of the head for steeling orange juice.
