Certain people will riot for any reason. Be prepared as I was at my company during the Los Angeles Rodney King riot. Always remember, the police and later the firemen were called out of the area and the only ones who defended themselves and property were the Koreans.

They were on the rooftops of their properties pointing guns down at the crazed looters. Not a one of their stores were looted or burned once the scum saw the rifles point at them.

Again, be prepared since you can't count on the authorities. I learned this first hand as I stood watch at my company on the roof along with some relatives. We were somewhat removed from LA proper, but they were heading our way until the National Guard finally put down the riot.

Last thought: The police are minutes away when seconds count.

Yep. I’m aware of what can happen and understand what I have to do.
