I am a bit out of the loop on this story. How far into this trial are we? I guess I need to keep an eye on this more closely so I can stock up on some stuff and tell my kids when they can't go out. I lived through the Rodney King riots and I just don't want any part of this. Our area was not particularly black but still our gas station, super market and several local businesses got gutted by fire. We are probably o.k. whee we are now but the area just south of us is a bit of a worry.
