Tempers are getting a little out of hand here, so I've closed this down before some serious damage is done.
| I agree with that decision. There were some loaded posts in there. I felt my blood boiling a bit myself

Rule #5
Do not question a moderator or administrator in the forum. The place to ask this question is via PM to the moderator/s in charge of OT, not in a new thread with the same topic.
Not trying to be a babysitter, just reminding everyone that there are rules for the members of TB to adhere to, they are reasonable, and they exist for good reason.

It's better than the 1 line thread count raising or poo throwing that goes on over at HC. Nothing thought provoking over there. I also think sometimes TB peeps are pretty good at policing themselves. |

IMHO, becuase there was no swift and immediate show of force by law enforcement, the problem is spreading like wildfire. People in other areas now realize that the police response isn't going to be severe. At least not severe enough to make them think twice about doing it. And so............it spreads. It's no longer about the the guy who was killed by police. Its' now about oportunists looking to loot and destroy property for kicks. |

While the racial attacks ended after the first night the looting spread north for three days and only stopped when the National Guard was out and the Koreatown Militia started getting TV coverage for shooting.

NBC was showing a scene where police were pushing back a crowd as another group of rioters were behind the police trashing their police cars.
