"There are countless horrible things happening all over the world and horrible people prospering, but we must never allow them to disturb our equanimity or deflect us from our sacred duty to sabotage and annoy them whenever possible." -Auberon Waugh

Riots, then and now
Robert Avrech at Seraphic Secret recollects some frightening moments during the 1992 L.A. riots. A gripping personal account, well worth a read.
It is a good read. The DGA (Director's Guild of America) is on Sunset Boulevard in Hollywood. I didn't know that the mobs had reached there.
Though I live in the San Fernando Valley, which was removed from the major violence, the tv reports made everyone tense. I broke curfew to get to a friend's apartment because he had a gun. It was an eerie scene with few people out.
That was well worth the read, because I have a feeling within the next year or two, we're all going to need that advice.

There are no anti-gun people in riots.
