Tuesday 9/16

Today in class Mr. Stewart brought up a great question about the riots that had me thinking a lot. Were the riot really about Rodney King?  I think they were about Rodney king at first but once everyone began to steal everything, break everything they could and setting buildings on fire it was not about Rodney king any more. It was about everyones personal interest, being able to steal thing that are really expensive without getting arrested for it because the police wouldn't do anything about it. They used Rodney king as an excuses to do everything they shouldn't do, which I think a lot of people would do once they realized the police wouldn't enforce anything at all.
