A white friend of mine played for the Rams then (LA Rams, then), and one of his black teammates, seeing all the mayhem and looting--and the fact that the cops were doing nothing to stop it--hopped in his car to go pick himself up some electronics. The man who became a looter was making $900,000 a year at th time.

That's one of the worst (and saddest) things I've heard in my life. Reminds me a little of the Portland Trailblazer a few short years back (his name escapes me now) who got busted with a bunch of stolen car stereos in the trunk of his car. This guy was one of the the NBA best offensive guards, and must've been making at least $4 mil/yr at the time.

An ex-girlfriend of mine lived in Ojai (about 1 1/2 hours away from L.A.) during the riots, and she overheard her nextdoor neighbors - a family of about 10 - calmly discuss their plan to head down to L.A. to do some looting. She did hear one or two of them argue against doing the deed, but they were in the minority. She doesn't know if they ever did it.

'Round these parts, they're known as the "JailBlazers"... Hardly a one of 'em ain't been in...
