LA Riots: Deja Vu All OverAgain?
By encinoman
A tip of the hat to both LAObserved and Alert the Bear, who mentioned our LA Riots Remembered post. As K.M. Johnson notes, there hasn&;t been much &;anniversary&; coverage of the Riots, but unfortunately, I&;m thinking that what&;s old is new again.
This unnerving Fox footage of the LAPD firing rubber bullets at the May Day immigration demonstrators in MacArthur Park brings up the spectre of Rodney King like the ghost of Christmas past. Local Fox 11 news reporter Christina Gonzalez who was roughed up along with her camerawoman, quoted the police as saying &;Doubletime it&;s tussle time.&;
Our house is in the flight path from Van Nuys Airport. The police &;ghetto birds&; immortalized by an earlier Ice Cube kept flying overhead last night. I couldn&;t sleep and flicked the channels, looking for news. Only infomercials, so I was left wondering if it was on again.
