stuff from overpriced stores? People felt free.
The crowd turning over and setting on fire the
police car downtown was laughing, cheering
and howling because they were having a blast
and it was a crowd of mothers and their chil­

people were pissed. The city burned. The
"healing process" begins. The looters go to jail.
