URBAN RIOTS : Thanks to rochester_veteran, FreedomPoster, kearnyirish2, uncbob, and AppyPappy and others for their informative memories.
All the thread comments are instructive and worthy of review and consideration. Can it,..will it occur again ?
Rochester :" That neighborhood where it started has never recovered! Prior to the riots, it had a thriving commercial district of mainly Jewish business owners and they were targeted, looted and set on fire."
"People fled the city in droves and moved to the suburbs."
Ferguson : " I expect Ferguson will never really recover either."
Newark : "Newark is destined to be a Third World sh!thole built around a transit hub ..."
Philadelphia :"Philadelphia had a riot in the early 60s. Mainly Jewish merchants were being burned out and looted"
Detroit :"The movie Detroit describes the riots in the film as “an uprising . We are living in a revisionist world.”
