The Burgh DID have riots after the MLK assassination. I was very little. But I clearly remember my dad sitting on the stairs of our SW Oakland row house holding his hunting rifle and a box of shells beside him. We were land locked between the cliff above the Parkway East and the Blvd of the Allies (no way “out” except the Blvd and too much “trouble” there to safely leave that way).

And I have to add...do you know you misspelled Pittsburgh?!?! ;)

The 'Burgh did not have widespread violence in the aftermath of MLK's assassination. Unrest was confined almost entirely to the Hill District [I lived there at the time] and Homestead. Since the Hill housing projects directly overlooked Oakland, no doubt people living there were concerned.

I did not.

I was teasing the OP for doing so.
