 Maxine Waters: L.A. Riots Were an ‘Insurrection,’ ‘Defining Moment’ in Black Resistance
Posted By Alex Griswold On April 27, 2017 @ 5:05 pm In Issues | No Comments

Democratic Rep. Maxine Waters (Calif.) spoke to the Huffington Post on Thursday and fondly remembered the 1992 Los Angeles riots, insisting they were actually an "insurrection."

More than 50 people were killed during the riots, with thousands more injured and over $1 billion in property damage. But Waters told the Huffington Post that the L.A. riots were "a milestone in the history of black people demanding justice."

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.

Predicated on the media editing out the first part of Rodney King's behaviour to make the story and amplify any injustice, just like Fergusson, like Baltimore, the LA riots were based on a false media meme. In that sense, they were indeed a milestone.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

What also happened was rampant looting of businesses, primarily liquor stores and gun stores.

Most of those killed were in a neighborhood of blacks and Hispanics, which fought each other.

Convenient how the lib crowd forgets that part of the suffering blacks did.

Maxine Waters, one of the most corrupt people in Congress, can say this because there is no harm to her career in doing such.

This is the kind of talk that her constituency likes to hear. Race hustling will guarantee her re election
I have little interest in streamlining government or in making it more efficient, for I mean to reduce its size. I do not undertake to promote welfare, for I propose to extend freedom. My aim is not to pass laws, but to repeal them.
