I didn't realize it til sharpton brought it up. How many of us did?? Just opening old wounds it seems to me. POWDERMAN.

I think the Los Angelinos, have picked up on the tactics of the Korean-Americans, they have purchased guns in record numbers.  I think Sharpton and Martins realize that Los Angelinos aren't going to put up with the race riot excuse any more.

OSR. Thanks for the link. I truly believe that al would love to see another major riot, why else would he bring up the riots of 20 years ago?? I remember a video of the blacks dragging a man from his truck and beating him, I also remember seeing on the news a black preacher shielding a white man who was being beaten. POWDERMAN.

the community down here is holding its breath in the Zimmerman-Martin case.    At the first hearing,  if the judge dismisses the case due to Stand Your Ground,  it is predicted that all hell will break loose.   As hot as the emotions are around this it definitely has a short fuse atmosphere.    We'll see soon enough.

I was in school in VA at the time of the riots in LA and they were talking about riots in and around Richmond and Norfolk.
On the front page of the paper was a group of armed people in front of a gun store ( the owner later went to jail for threats against the president, but a different story of Secret Service entrapment) with a sign of there will be no riots here, only a massacare.  and it quited down quickly and we all watched the roits on TV.

I well rember that my friends brother was caught in the mess too, he was driving a truck and was attacked by a mob. He shot one guy in the face as he tried to open his door and fired 7 more rds from his 1911 with several falling. He gunned the engine and never looked back. These scum were burning dwn their own communities and then the taxpayers footed the bill to build em back.
Other than to fan the flames I see no reason for pot stirrer al to even bring this up. POWDERMAN.

I think you hit the nail on the head.
He is looking for a new race problem since the Martin shooting was not White on Black hate crime he had hoped it would be. 
He has to keep the pot stirred and try to help re ellect his guy Obama by showing the division of the country and an us vs them mentality.

I saw some of the 20 year old video clips yesterday. What I found amazing is that gas prices were only $1.13 in LA then. In the Midwest we were only paying 99.9 cents. Where have the years (and all my money) gone??

Thanks, Dinny
