When 0bama gave the mob the wink-wink of "If I had a son he would look like Trayvan" I knew there would be blood and looting. I was supposed to go down to Anaheim on the day of social justice, murder, arson, battery, rape for a sales call. Which, for me, would have put me right through riot/social justice central. I got lucky, although at the time it appeared bad, Went down about a week later and it was a freaky tour of post apocalypse America.
One lesson I learned in those riots is that if you shoot at the looters, like the Korean businessmen did, you don't have a looting problem. Everybody is pretty much a badass until you get shot at.
