At least I got my last internet scavenger hunt finished for my history class. It was a comparison of the Watts riots of 1965 & the Detroit/Newark riots of 1967. What's kind of amusing in that sick sort of way is that the Watts riots and the Newark riots were both sparked by the same thing that set off the Rodney King riots of 1992 - an arrest of a black driver, and witnesses felt as though the police were being too rough on the guys they were arresting. In the case of the Newark arrest (like the Rodney King incident), yes, the cops did beat the living crap out of John Smith - he had to be taken out the back entrance of the police office to a hospital. It's hard to believe that the Rodney King riots were 13 years ago. I had a booth at the Gemco indoor swapmeet when they happened. Morons broke the plate glass windows at the front of the store as all us vendors were headed out the back doors in a panic. Reading about the Watts riots made me feel old again. Watts wasn't fully recovered (it still really isn't - Crenshaw Street? C'mon...) - but in like, 1977, 10 years after the riots, the place still had this atmosphere of some post-war or post-apocalyptic cityscape.
