“The first night of the riot, Dinkins, along with Police Commissioner Brown, both African Americans, went to Crown Heights to talk to the community to dispel the rumors about the circumstances surrounding the accident. They had no appreciable influence on the rioters, most of whom were young black men.”
“”You can use whatever word you want, but in fact for three days people were beaten up, people were sent to the hospital because they were Jewish. There’s no question that not enough was done about it by the city of New York.”

This rioting story has always upset me. Thanks for posting it.
Hope that history will not repeat itself but this time the teens and others have absolutely no regard for laws or police, let alone for Jewish people. No longer a small group of impressionable violent types.
