Yes, we're getting along, mostly: L.A. riots twenty years on

Last week we posted some reactions to the 20th anniversary of the Los Angeles riots that killed 53 people, wounded thousands and cost more than a billion dollars. It was a perfect storm of police abuse, racial hostility, economic decline and crime, including deadly traffic in crack cocaine.

Are we getting along, now?

Sunday marks the 20th anniversary of the LA riots, considered the worst civil disturbance in U.S. history. For Angelinos living there at the time, in particular, it is a "do you remember where you were when...?" occasion.
