If more widespread violence starts then use common sense. Stay away from big cities, minority areas, college areas, etc.
A few months after the 1992 riots, my brother was awarded a contract to rebuild a damaged shopping center. Initial value $5 million. He completed this project successfully. He was on TV as the Anaheim white contractor who won the award, although there was plenty of pressure for it to go to a minority contractor, instead

Because this idiot Marquette Frye got drunk, drove and then was beligerant with cops, 30+ people died and the ghetto burned. What a swell specimen of humanity.

I was working a summer job as an apprentice carpenter, before starting college. A black guy a few years older was on the job, too. He was either a journeyman or nearly so. Fairly quiet. It was in conservative Orange County.
Anyway the Monday after the riots rolled around, and at our morning break this guy, normally real quiet, said he had planned to visit his mother in Watts, but "those Ni99ers were shooting Ni99ers."
I will never forget that.
