Do any of you remember the clashes that happened in Atlanta during the time of the L.A riots? What brought about Atlanta's response to the L.A riots?

Just to point out it's the 20th anniversary of the L.A riots this week.

Well there were clashes in Atlanta over the verdict in L.A. I'am just asking why do people think it happened? Was it because Atlanta people could relate to strong police tactics being used?

Probably because there is a very dominant black population in Atlanta.

So I'am assuming you're referring to Blacks in Atlanta having had experiances with abusive police tactics?

1. Some angry people lashing out the wrong way. Flipping cars and breaking windows does not do justice.

2. Some opportunists - whip up a mob and loot that new TV you've always wanted (likely in communities of their own class and demographics - as in, blacks are victims).

I'm leaning towards doing the same. Quite frankly all these type of threads do is garner the same ol' trollish commentary.
