Loading ...I was in the National Guard in California in the 60’s during the Wats riots. Same thing then, burning, looting, and destroying their own community. We rounded up as many of them as we could find and put them into a compound where they were served hot meals and then released. At the same time we were handed C-Rations and put back on duty to round up more of them.
Turned out to be a smart move on their part. The government footed the bill for rebuilding their community, so instead of having a community they had run down over the years they had a nice new one to begin to run down again.
No doubt history will repeat. Silverngold
