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.
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.
Two man hole covers, asphalt & concrete shower street, front yards and driveways with debris when an underground electrical vault exploded which seems to have been caused by a nitrogen leak. Fortunately no one was hurt and only the back window of a car got blown out.

The “History of Transportation” mosaic mural was erected and put on display at Centinela Park in Inglewood, Calif. in 1940. Later it was restored and relocated . This Mural is a cultural and historic public arts treasure listed on the California Register of Historical Resources. It was created as a Works Project Administration (WPA) Arts project, completed in 1940 and designed by a noted California artist, Helen Lundeberg. Despite extensive damage, it was fully restored and relocated & rededicated at a new Art Park located at Manchester Blvd and Grevillea Avenue in Inglewood across the street from Inglewood High School.
