It already happened once. What makes us think it will not again?
On April 29, 1992, the United States experienced a mini civil war in which more than sixty people were killed in armed conflict, and 2,300 were wounded. Live television recorded the event, clips of which are available on YouTube. Other, even more dramatic scenes depicted full-fledged gun battles on the streets of Los Angeles, California.
The location was an urban section known as Korea Town. Rioting and looting were sparked when a young black man was arrested for the violent robbery of a Korean-American business. Over a period of a week, mob violence increased. The targets included people of all races, and law enforcement authorities soon lost control of the situation.
When it became clear to the Koreans, many of whom were first-generation immigrants, that the local and federal agencies were not going to arrive in time to rescue them, the Koreans exercised their Second Amendment rights and fought back.
To their credit, the defenders acted with surprising restraint, holding their ground and firing warning shots when possible, but making it clear that if the attackers would not retreat, they would likely be killed in the combat.
Nor was it only the local Koreans who responded. As word of the desperate situation got out, additional Koreans, many of them military veterans, some of them combat-experienced, arrived to support their kindred. After about a week, government law enforcement, augmented by U.S. military forces, restored order. By then, many millions of dollars in property damage had been suffered, about half in Korea Town.
While on the surface this appears to have been a race war, that characterization is misleading. In the years since 1992, there have been many racially motivated riots in many cities, in which looting...

Even Communists have “elections”.
I agree with your assessment. It will be interesting to see what happens with Texas and the border situation.
The 1992 riots started in black Watts. Watts is now about 80% Mexican. The Mexicans have effectively wiped out Obama’s so-called “army.” Mexicans now make up the majority ethnicity in LA County. There won’t be another riot in Watts.
Never fire a warning shot.
I thought this was an article about the Yellowstone super-volcano.
Even N.W.A’s Compton is mostly Hispanic now.
I’ve always followed CW II scenarios with interest and have played many of them out with a retired O5 with Pentagon experience who is a close friend.
The idea of Team Obama (McCord) talking out loud about writing position papers to subvert the chain of command is a new twist on all the “twenty million deer hunters” scenarios - which I’m sure we agree are all ridiculous.
The only way I can see American soldiers and Marines killing each other as a result of political conflict is exactly this - troopers put into a conflict situation under turncoat O1-O3 officers drowning them in misinformation without access to good sources.
Lieutenants are eager to please, Captains think they know it all but these days, troops have access to info on their phones. However, with the lack of educated white soldiers now, there could be a bad problem brewing.
Wars are just for people who want to get themselves killed without making a big difference. Asymmetric warfare, on the other hand ...
WTF? That's not what started Rodney King riots of 1992 in Los Angeles. It was the police being acquitted from their relentless beat down of Rodney King. The flash point was at a liquor store on Florence and Normandy Avenues which are not in Korea Town. It spread from there.
Same!
No matter how peaceful they appear on the surface, no volcano is truly dormant.
The Yellowstone caldera appears peaceful. If you ignore Old Faithful and swarms of low magnitude earthquakes.
However, at some point it will erupt again. And the devastation is likely to be continental in scale.
Mount St. Helens was long thought to be dormant, until it blew itself right out of the Big Mountain category,
