Peaceful protest of Trayvon Martin verdict in Los Angeles flares into violence

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.

You are correct but basically I was talking about “The Animals!” Sorry for the ambiguous post. I have seen the entire “Civil Rights” movement and realized quite early this was an assault by the Third World” against Western man and his government and society. Its successes to date are due to Western man’s soul sickness.

In LA, some people burn trashcans for any occasion. Dislike a verdict? Start a fire in a trashcan. Lakers win? Start a fire in a trashcan. Pretty sure it’s the same people pursuing this hobby.

RE :”Would you mind telling all of us again how we were wrong about riots following the verdict?”

Riot's ???? One riot in LA isnt riots, its daily business. Pretty quiet on the East coast.

What you were wrong about is that Dems will find it in their interest to promote these.

More specifically didnt you predict IEDs set off by Dems (covertly) in black peaceful protests to prompt riots and martial law?
A bug here makes it hard to find comments right but here's one:

I predict there will be IED’s and car bombs used during and after the riots and there will be bombings against banks and other financial institutions. These bombings will be tied to foreign terrorist working with the militants instead of just domestic terrorist like the Weather Underground, which would make them acts of war.
With an act of war, federal troops will be in the streets under the presidents control, not national guard troops under the govs. control.
