May 2020

for a few years (1974-1977). This is so heartbreaking. I remember going downtown after the Steelers won the AFC championship game in Jan 1976. I saw looters breaking windows and running out of a furrier with arms full of coats. No police in sight. Who loots during a celebration? Or any other time?

We lived in the suburbs of L.A. during the riots after the Rodney King injustice. Somehow, this seems worse.
