Many locals in the area have said they didn't recognize anybody from the neighborhood doing all of the looting and damage; basically saying that outsiders were in their hood breaking their shit and destroying their businesses. So really, what did the riots have to do with social justice, it sure as hell didn't have anything to do with the neighborhood itself.
