Sounds like what we said in the LA suburbs, until the Rodney King verdict was announced. Then all He!! broke loose. And it was ALL OVER the surrounding areas. Violence, looting, assaults, arson, shootings, people dragged out of their cars and beaten, home invasions. And it happened simultaneously, all over, and 911 was overwhelmed. No one answered any calls. Fires set all over the city--fire dept struggling to keep up. Police under siege. It was a nightmare.

Thousands of people throughout the metropolitan area in Los Angeles rioted over six days following the announcement of the verdict.[2]
Widespread looting, assault, arson and murder occurred during the riots, and estimates of property damages topped one billion dollars. The rioting ended after soldiers from the California Army National Guard, the 7th Infantry Division, and Marines from 1st Marine Division were called in to stop the rioting after the local police could not handle the situation. In total, 53 people were killed during the riots and over 2,000 people were injured.[3][4]
