The Los Angeles Shoot, Loot & Scoot Triathlethon: aka The 1992 L. A. Riots
Found some more photos taken with my old ROLLEI ROLLIFLEX 35 MM SLR of the '92 L. A. Riots.
Down on Crenshaw north of Florence Ave.
I can kick myself that I didn't sneak a few shots with my camera while the mayhem was going on. I was busy ducking and dodging and running red lights to avoid trouble. Almost all the pictures you see were taken on the third day of the riots when the Author-itah started to gain control.
I tip my hat to the journalist that were in the thick of it, they got some fantastic shots.

Bill Churney does a lot in 30 minutes. In fact, the entire time I was with him, he never stopped moving. In addition to flipping switches, pulling dragnets, closing gates, and double checking everything, he flips "Do not enter" signs like this one at Pike Street. It's padlocked to a steel pole. I've never seen a key ring as large as Bill's.
6th Street Bridge before and after photos
"We want to be free... Free to ride our machines without being hassled by the man!" It started out with old classics and lowriders and Harleys converging on the bridge and a car show broke out. Then some knuckle head brought unnecessary attention to the whole thing by lighting a smoke canister / bomb. From the distance I guess it looked as if some one was doing a burn out. The L.A.P.D. comes and breaks up the show. But as the photos prove the SHOW still went on.... UNDER THE BRIDGE.

This beautiful 18 ton monster of a bell with elaborate engravings cut into it and the pavilion it sits in was donated by South Korea to the U.S.A. to commemorate our country's Bicentennial in 1976. The bell is modeled after the Divine Bell of King Seongdeok the Great of Silla (also known as the Emille Bell),

A lots goin' on down by the river. While taking photos of two U.S. Marine choppers practicing landing/ take off/recovery at the L.A.P.D. Jay Stephen Hooper Memorial Heliport, some camera men and Honda test riders set up shop and I got these shots of Trains, Marines, Ghetto Birds & bikes down by the L. A. River and El Pato Chile-Enchilada-Tomato Sauce Factory.
Central Park Playa Vista Amphitheater. Culver City / L. A. , Playa Vista / Westchester area. Some of the old helicopter / air plane hangers and buildings have been turned into film studios. Many new buildings and business park have been added.
The Fort MacArthur Museum is proud to present what has become one of our most popular signature events. The Great Los Angeles Air Raid of 1942 is the museums celebration of one of the most fascinating and controversial events in Los Angeles History. A night when literally thousands of people both Military and Civilian were convinced that Los Angeles was being attacked from the air, and even from space!!! What really happened that night is a debate that will probably go on for years, but for those of us it's a time to remember the feeling of those early days of the World War II.
