This is the only place I have ever lived where there is a recurring fear of riots taking place. And yet never have I seen such lighthearted and lack lustre "riots". I have seen many, and they are more of demonstrations than riots really but I have never once been concerned for my safety. They are always surrounded by food carts for when the rioters get hungry which always makes me laugh. They are essentially glorified kids temper tantrums on a larger scale.
The true fear stems from the 1999 riots that enveloped the city as a whole. If you saw a group of people demonstrating in Los Angeles you wouldn't automatically assume it was going to spawn into the 1992 riots... But that is the fear here so as I work at a school institution we must always be prepared. All that being said school tomorrow is planned yet could be canceled due to some planned demonstrations about workers rights.
Heres hoping! We don't get snow days so I'll take riot days when I can.
