A peaceful protest of the Trayvon Martin verdict in Los Angeles unraveled into violence late Monday after a large group broke off and began smashing store windows, vandalizing cars and attacking bystanders, authorities said. More than 300 LAPD cops flooded the Crenshaw district in southwest L.A. after some 150 people splintered off from a prayer vigil in Leimert Park and blazed a trail of anarchy along nearby Crenshaw Boulevard, according to local reports.

Protesters jump on a pickup truck in Los Angeles on Monday.

Helicopter footage showed angry rioters jumping on cars, breaking storefront windows, setting fires in curbside trash cans and attacking bystanders, including two people sitting on a bus bench at Slauson Avenue. Several of the rioters stormed a Wal-Mart and a mall at the Crenshaw Baldwin Hills shopping plaza, where witnesses said the goons stole merchandise, knocked down store displays and smashed furniture, local NBC4 reported.

I am just bored to death with the victemology in the Black community.. they should go back to shooting each other and leave the rest of us who have nothing to do with it... alone

they are like the jihads always offended about something... get over it and clean yourselves up. Civilization isnt bad once you give it a try

Not enough! They will be back at it tonight. I listened to scanner til late in the night and not many were caught because the police mostly stood back from the crowd.

Thanks for the link. Not sure what we would talk about here though if we did not link to news stories. The vanity threads would eventually drive us all crazy....lol.

Yep — we’re going to see this go on, just like this, all summer long, until the good people of the world are terrorized to go out, businesses have to shut down, and society just basically crumbles.

We’re being held hostage by a bunch of home grown terrorists, funded by US AND our tax dollars.

Our government is useless in its prevention of our safety.

This country is just going to hell in a handbasket ...what else is there to say?

On the left, ONE might be peaceful. Two or more is usually destructive and often deadly. Doesn’t even matter what ethnicity. What matters is the ‘grievance’ of the ‘victims’ whether real or perceived. 99.9% of the grievances are fantasies with no basis in reality.

Ah, the North American Urban Apes doing more damage to their image than any crazy a$$ white cracker!

Cops should have secured the doors of the Wal-Mart after the looters entered and arrested anyone in the store. It would have helped to clean up the gene pool.

“A peaceful protest of the Trayvon Martin verdict in Los Angeles unraveled into violence late Monday “

Then it wasn’t a peaceful protest.

Knock me over with a feather - I wouldn't have ever thought a "peaceful" Trayvon Martin protest would turn violent.

They don’t say how long it stayed “peaceful”...

2 seconds? 2 hours?

There never has been, there is not now and there never will be a “Peaceful Protest.”
