ABC Newsbrief - May 1, 1992 (LA riots)

[kevind159]

People ask, why do they burn their own neighborhoods? First of all, most black people don't own anything in their neighborhoods including the houses that they live in. The home are owned by the white owned banks or the poverty pimping Jews who only rent to blacks. The stores and business are owned by foreigners who pump vices into the black neighborhoods such as beer, wire, and spirits. The so called black neighborhood serves many interests, but little true interest of blacks.

[ninjajesus81]

@kevind159 Oh, so the foreigners force blacks to buy alcohol? Your argument makes no fucking sense.

You're trying to justify blacks looting and destroying stores, and you sound like an idiot.

President Obama Supporters GONE WILD....1992 edition.

[MarkParham]

@clev9980 you are making racist assumptions you assume that all blacks vote for obama in america

[clev9980]

@MarkParham close to 90 % did vote for Obama in November 2008...you don't have to take my word for it...ask the democratic national committee.

[wiseass2147]

35 people died? Shit i didn't know that.

[tommyt1971]

@wiseass2147 Actually *53* in total died, this was a few days before the official tally had been recorded.

[ImDavidGurney]

The Dodgers should have forfeited those two postponed games to the Phillies.It may have kept them from finishing last.

[jalin001]

There are some really horrible racists in this world, kingleysleyennis1 ... God is watching you. You are going to burn in hell... Actually, you are obviously living in some sort of hell at the moment... Wouldn't want to be you...Yikes!

[CamiloSanchez1979]

[Tha89Kid]

[tickyul]

More of this to come.....when Big Brother HAS to cut back on bennies doled out to deadbeats......such as Baby Momma payments....you will see cities rocked by riots on a very large scale.

[sportsguruisme]

Was this around the same time rap/hip-hop grouyp N.W.A. released the controversial song "Cop Killer"?

[madrecka]

@sportsguruisme It was Ice T whom had released "Cop Killer" not N.W.A.

[catnip213]

@sportsguruisme NWA did "fuck the police"

[heartlessvietboy]

Do you blame the individual, or do you blame society?

[emoviebuff87]

i remember the opening of those news briefs.

[bigben1986]

TED KOPPEL DID AN AWESOME JOB THAT DAY AS WELL. HE WENT INTO SOUTH CENTRAL AND SPOKE TO GANG MEMBERS, ONE OF THEM WHO IS A FILMAKER TODAY.

[rafalweb]

RIP P/J. You were one of the best.

[Srd1126]

Why did the cops let the others in the car alone? Might have something to do with King being high on PCP and taking them on a 90 mph chase thru residental streets. Yet the cops get blamed instead of supported like they deserved to be,

[FutureNewsAnchor]

On August 4, 1993, Lawrence Powell and Stacy Coon, both Los Angeles police officers, were convicted in the Rodney King beating. The two cops were sentenced to thirty months in jail, commencing on 9/27/93, and ending on 3/27/96.

[stashio04]

Awesome Bill Clinton reference

[MoeGreensRightEye]

What was so awesome about it?

[mpm2010lbc]

@MoeGreensRightEye because it talked about a future president, using his previous job title in a historic news clip.

[Briannyc77]

I remember that Jennings was one of the only high profile reporters to go on the ground in LA during this and talk to the actual rioters.

[yuowatcher]

@Briannyc77 He talked to actual rioters... Cool! After seeing some of the videos I wouldn't go to talk to the rioters. Not without submachine gun with several spare magazines.
