Remember the LA Riots of 1992?

I feel we are about to see a repeat in the Land of 10,000 Lakes. If no arrests are made...except a lot of outcry and escalation.

...looked straight at the camera and smirked. I'll bet anything he kept his hands in his pockets so he could say later: "I never laid a hand on him."

That thug murdered a fellow human being in cold blood, in broad daylight, on camera, in front of many witnesses. He felt entitled to do it.

The fact that he is even the same species as me, much less shares the same skin color, makes me sick to my soul.
