GOOD MORNING AMERICA'S HOMEPAGE:

I came here after watching Minneapolis Protest.
History will repeat its self. I was 5 years old when the 92 riots happened, so of course I didn’t understand that magnitude of what was going on. I’m now 32 and seeing this through adult eyes and it’s sad.
The parallels are terrifying, right? My family still lived in L.A. when this occurred.
Shun Gaga
Same. I remember ash falling from the sky as a kid throughout the city. I’m 33 now.
@@Vegas-ky3lt I'm only 26 so this is my first time really seeing a riot, an in the age of live streaming i'm seeing it first hand.
@@Vegas-ky3lt I'm 18 apart of generation z this is crazy
“If you let it happen once, it’s going to happen again”
Northamerican motto. 🇱🇷🇱🇷🇱🇷🇱🇷💯💯💯
It’s always going to happen til the end of time
@@hippiecheezburger5457 till Jesus comes back, no president is ever goin to stop this unfortunately
@@slapshot68 this gonna happen sooner then people think
Soon & very soon
So sad seeing the protester interviewed at the beginning who wanted it to be peaceful being seen later on getting chanted at by the other protesters for trying to calm them down
LAPD officer was super rude as heck but he had a point about the lights
Peaceful? Gtfooh. These @ssholes were anything but that.
Ya grandmas.
Well, you know, they are just "blowing off steam". Why the Democratic establishment don't want to control this kind of behavior and by adding millions of illegals who can't possibly find real work to the mix in SoCal, and by Newsom giving illegals the vote (which they don't even know they HAVE) and by the elites using their "votes" to make it look, by ballot harvesting (also legal in Calunicornia) to insure that creeps like Gruesome and his Auntie PeeLousy always control the state in such a way as to demolish first the state and then the nation....Why do they hate California, their own birthplace, where their own ancestors fled to to gain opportunity to succeed, and they are hellbent on dismantiling so that the CCP can literally walk in and take control...Newsom said that California is a "sub-nation" and that it's sympathetic to Red China as opposed to the way the Trump administration would NEVER be....look up who owns the voting machines California uses to tabulate our elections OVERSEAS....bought the company for $60 mill. What a bargain. (I call them Domination, but the actual name is very similar)
I remember when this went down. I was working at Western and Wilshire when it went off. I remember the bus driver told asked me where I was going when I got on the bus to get home. He told me "go straight home, boy. Don't stop for anything". he was a black guy and even he sounded worried. But, he was looking out.
I was 21 years old at the time. I remember this like it was yesterday.
I was 3.🥰
I was -1
I remember it well. They started makin the wide mouth liters of Mountain Dew so after you drank it you could piss in it and still play tecmo bowl without leaving your room
@@oldironsides4107 🤭🤐🤣🤣🤣
I was a swimming sperm in my old mans balls
she made a point if u let it happen once it will happen again
Out of all the points you see the white women's point ahhahaha
She was right
It’ll always happen
@@adrianherrera2030 Bruh.
She was right !!
1992 : No justice no peace
.
.
2020 : no justice no peace
1960s: No justice no peace
So I guess we'll be saying this again in 2050.
…and both involved drug addict criminals resisting arrest. BOTH were so intoxicated they had no business driving.
Found the racist
JulieAnn
@@julieann4616 The People have spoken.
Chauvin commited an act. The man Mr Floyd did not resist.
@@tytraulich4987 if George Floyd was not resisting arrest then he would’ve been in custody on his way to jail/infirmary to detox. Such a great guy, if only everyone had the values of George Floyd. 😂😂
“Can’t we all just get along?”
-Rodney King
I was a few months old when this happened. We lived in Gardena at the time. My mom was telling me about this whole situation, shit was crazy af. She said a lot of ppl burned down houses around the blocks where we lived, a lot of local stores and gas stations and little businesses got looted, cars were stolen and blown up. Can’t believe all this happened. So crazy.
Your a very beautiful woman ☺️
Kayy hernandez was up u smoke dope
We’ll it’s not surprising coming from a democratic state
@@franciscosaca2767 thank you.
@@juniorgomez5723 disgusting. 🤦🏻♀️
12:04 "Linda have you seen anybody hit with bottles or rocks"
12:09 somebody gets hit with a bottle.
friggin right to the dome
Lmfao
White men were pulled out of there cars and semi trucks and beat with bricks for being white , the media showed the beatings back then but I doubt you’ll find it now.
Fr
Reginald Denning is his name.. I was 12 years old when I saw him get drugged from his truck and beat unmercifully.
My brother who is five years older than me was down there for the verdict and the riots participating being #Woke. I wanted to go to. Our folks weren't having it for me...lol. My dad said "You stay your down for the cause ass home". 😆🤣😂🤣👊. Now its #Woke..👊
My dad still 😅 laughs over that today.
The generations may be apart in vernacular and lingo but not in the spirit or the movement of the cause, the bigger picture.
Anyone here because of #JusticeforFloyd?
Yea its kinda like deja vu
John Sabbagh history repeats itself. Look up 1919 riots
Milliondream do you think it’ll get worst in this year? Like compared to the 1919 riots, in 2020 it’ll be worst?
@Comrade Jamal BLM He was a shitty person but you gotta admit, the cops just killing anyone they please needs to stop. And the racism.
@@sabbracadabra8367 There is more racism in the black communities than white.Cops don't go around killing "anyone they please"either.They're just trying to do their job.I 'd like you to be a police officer for a day.
The two people being interviewed have to be in their 20s. Imagine being 40 + and having to relieve things over post George Floyd.
Difference is that with George Floyd the media purposely stirred things up and wanted people to riot.
25 years later the guy at the beginning incorrectly predicted the future of America verbatim
@s H How do you know?
Man the '90s was the time to be alive!
Lol
lol how you feel now Ezra
@s H same here 80s were a blast
80s and 90s were interesting to me when I was young.
Yeah
Riots broke out after a Fiesta Broadway celebratio in LA that year. People started running for their lives I ended up hiding in an underground tunnel of Downtown LA. I remembered it being the most traumatic episode of my life. Tha k God for those who helped us hide.
I was in that tunnel. We’re you the one I talked into eating my but
Linda is a very brave women. She's like I got this 💪💪💪
MILF
Woman**
She was absolutely amazing
Neutral Field it’s either or..
She did got this!
2:26 "We have grown since the 1960's. We are not about to wreak havoc on our own community."
*Curb your Enthusiasm theme song* starts playing..
Aww that was funny for real for real.
That's an interesting quote that puts things in context too. People keep citing MLK and non-violence. There were lots of riots around MLK's marches. A lot of them started by people who didn't want him to march.
Lol BLM NEEDS TO HEAR THIS😂
1992 I was a 10 yr old reading my Goosebumps lol
Booji Boy fear street was better!
teamlight 526 it was and I read plenty of them too
Booji Boy I was flipping through my dad's porno magazines!!
I thought Goosebumps wasn’t out until 94
I was 10 going on 11..R..L. STINE GOOSEBUMPS..yeah that was my era too..lol
I watched this woman reporter stay with this story all day into the night that day
@Nolo Kobo at one point even though I was a kid I was like "this reporter and camera man gettn it" lol
So did I.
@@beatlechick1 it had me glued , what's she doing now?
@@shawnfutch1290 probably retired.
@@beatlechick1 I saw her on TV recently your right she retired (and still talking about it lol )
“Linda, are you afraid? “
Linda: “No.”
Imagine being a rookie cop and this is your first day on the job 🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂😂😂
😅😅😅
I would quit the next day
Linda is a fucking trooper for this one
AKA a white bootlicker filming protestors. She'd be kicked to the curb these days and with good reason
I'm disappointed that you couldn't retain the original aspect ratio, since you know there wasn't widescreens in 1992.
Who cares.
lol, 17:50, " Whats that flag? The flag of Mexico."
Ikr Is that for real? He lives in LA and can't recognize the Mexican flag?
@@SweetJeopardy He probably got the flag of Mexico mixed up with the flag of Italy because the Mexican and Italian flags are of the same color design scheme and stripe layout; but the flag of Mexico has the country's seal: an eagle sitting on a cactus with a snake in its beak.
s H wtf do you mean lmao chicanos always had a sense of Mexican pride uh the pachucos? Uh the Chicano protests of the 1970 literally flying the Mexican flag weird thing to comment anyways
Pride? Most wish that they were White.
12:08
History always repeats itself
This could be happening again in The whole of US now, not just ( L.A ) or in other words Minneapolis
I remember this like it was yesterday.
I was about 7 years old I was playing outside with my cousin and we started hearing helicopters and lot's of chaos.
I remember seeing the city buses going through streets they normally wouldn't go through, which to me right away
was a sign of something not being right I remember hearing lot's of sirens, and lot's of yelling and it was confusing because at age of 7 I didn't know who Rodney King even was I remember seeing lot's of people running around like if it was a war with guns and just things burning left and right like something out of a movie where people are fighting for their life and don't know what's going on.
Didn't feel like the 90's tell she said "As far as our cable will allow us to go here." While looking angrily at a stuck cable lol
They were so peaceful in the beginning. I believe the media played a lot in instigating the whole situation
That and no one was listening and Chief of police had no comments on the heinous act they performed on Rodney king believing that his team actions were justified.
@@honeylove6646 well, the verdict was not guilty
The verdict and the female judge letting that woman who shot a innocent girl added to it.
That's shame
I think what happened with that teenage girl also made it worser…
Still didn’t learn anything, such a SHAME! 😰😤
"I'm not leaving".
2020 now and this is the millionth time they showed racism ain’t never went away. Just sad
but think. THEY ARE FLIPPING OVER POLICE CARS AND THAT POLICE OFFICER MAY OF BEEN ABLE TO SAVE SOMEONES LIFE BUT THEY ARE BURNING POLICE STATIONS THEY ARE KILLING OFFICERS AND BURNING HOUSES!
@@Armlmao or that police officer could go kill another another unarmed black person like they seem to want to do. I agree though, these out of town rioters need to stop what they're doing and hit the road.
The whole country was on the side of George Floyd (which is rare). They wanted to see the police officer arrested and charged which he was. These rioters dont care about George Floyd. I dont care how mad you are it doesnt give you the right to burn people's businesses (African-Americans too) that have worked their whole lives to build.
@@samlusby4576 Idgaf about anyone one's businesses expect my ppl's businesses. My ppl built this country on free labor so idgaf. Those punk ass demons destroyed and looted African American businesses in Tulsa Oklahoma. So as far as I sre it we can tear down whatever tf we want too💯
@@JabrenHarris98 Preach ✊🏾
This is out of context but does anyone else feel like the first guy that was getting interviewed sounded like Norbit?
Incredible how similar society is still today. You would think over 25 years we would have learned lessons, and those that still claim "Racism isn't a problem anymore" would finally be right, but they are not.
Linda The News Reporter Lady Should Got A Bonus Check That Day😂.. If You Seeing This Mrs.Linda They Owe You☺️
MUCH LOVE AND PEACE EVERYONE 🌍🌎🌏🪐🌈💖☯️🤗📿🙏🏽💜💯🕶️
History can really repeat itself. Change must come✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾✊🏽✊🏽✊🏽✊🏽✊🏽✊🏽✊🏽✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾
You don't know enough to bring a positive change.
Anyone her after they watched straight outta Compton? Or just me
Notice no Smart Phones and Social Media in those days.
and what of it, boomer
"no justice no peace" ah, it's a classic I see
No justice, no peace!
The reporter looks kind of like an older Aubrey Plaza, lol.
What's the difference between now and then?

Maybe you watch too much porn hub.. rotting your brain.
RIP Big Smoke July 7 1965- April 30 1992
Lets not forget the little girl who got shot for stealing oranfe juice... even when she turned her back to leave he store she still got shot smh
Memes Olay maybe her parents should have educated her to not be looting in the first place. After this happened. More black and Hispanic conservatives rise. Don’t get me wrong. Rodney King did needed all the help and justice, but the rioters don’t get my respect. They hurt innocent people regardless of race. Which is the reason why protests in some cases don’t work in today’s society.
Just call me Mike looting? Stealing? Two different definitions. Also she was a kid. 🤦🏾♀️
Just call me Mike That happened before the riots! She wasn’t alive when the riots started! She was one of the reasons Koreans were targeted!
@@justcallmemike1192 it was not during the riots so she couldnt have been looting. Also she was walking out the store, meaning the shooters life wasn't in danger. She had no reason to pull a gun or shoot.
She Didn’t steal the orange juice she put the money on the counter. Get your facts straight.
It's been 25 years, and has anything changed on these streets?
Yes, most of them are gentrified which has become its own form of violence.
sandinyourshoes no
@@terencesommer6307 , the news media won't care.
@Kewana Nedd , why?
More Mexicans. That’s about all that’s changed
Linda Breakstone!😍
History repeats itself.
2020 nothing change
Do you think something like could happen again cuz I sure don't think so to be honest
Corshawn Hughes absolutely
@@honeylove6646 how so ?
Corshawn Hughes you keep backing a dog into a corner it’s gonna eventually bite.
Have you ever heard of Jonestown or people’s temple ?
I got this, I drive a Pepsi truck, Im on my way.

The Witness this is way old news ..
It was hell on earth in L.A. at the time.
they turned over the police booth lol
Hate cops 4ever. Amen
I would’ve been standing there like “out of ALL things, you had to flip over a booth.....”
Haddy’s World so what would you have done besides just powerlessly stand there?
And what did this solve Black America? Not a DAMN THING!
The only people i empathize with are the innocent lives that were harmed during that time
lol it's yours, Linda....dang Linda the reporter in the thick of it, where was this commentary in LA in 2020? When South LA was called South Central.
Who could’ve imagined what followed. Absolute hell on Earth in L.A.
That can be described for California as well
When was the damage done? ha ha ha ...hey fukstix it started when the judge said NOT GUILTY
So glad I found live footage of this history changing event.
I was raised on Sublime & when I got older, I asked my parents what April 29th,1992 was about. My dad actually travelled all over the US in a truck w\>
you learned nothing then. The stupid protest did nothing but profiting the organizations and hurt normal small businesses bad. And get a few innocent people killed along the way.
I was born March 18 1980 I was twelve years old when the riots happen in South Central
Tell someone who gives a shit Robert
WHOO CAREESSS??
Robert Hernandez South Central Los Angeles is soft in 2020, right?
Robert Hernandez happy belated 40th🎂
Thanks
when they tear down the police box , I cheered with them, the protesters!

Me dude 🙁
They did cause havoc within their own community.
Damn near all of Cali. Your point?
2:30
That guy didn't know how wrong he was.
CrOoKeD Cops THEN CrOoKeD Cops NOW
My dad told me this was one of the scariest times he has lived thru.. there were 50 deaths that were due to riots... 10 of which were by LAPD shooting protesters.. he said the city was in flames.. i was a baby..
I was 12 and lived there
Jakarta 98' riots were worse. Rioters were raping young Chinese Indonesian girls
60 deaths
Who else saw this from Staight Outta Compton?
Why are the middle fingers getting blurred out show it ❤
dude says “things have changed since the sixties. We won’t reek havoc on our own city” Over the next 48hrs, hey raised havoc on their own city. I’ll never understand poor people
BT Z but you know they destroyed vast majority of white/Asian/korean American businesses right? And they destroyed the general public which ended up cost the city money more than anything. And not the blacks (which made up ONLY 13% of people rioting) You won’t ever understand poor people or what they go through if you’ve been privileged your whole life. Silver spoons never understand. But noticed how the big wigs listened when they messed with their pockets costing them millions in damages? People like you is exactly why blacks get the blind eyes from white people.
Well those poor people have low intelligence, you should not assume they can think like normal human beings
this video does not show the looting of stores
I was at toys R Us when this was happening stocking up on Pokémon cards
6:58 didn't know flat panel LED screens existed in 1992
Call the Lawnmower Man, he knows what to do!
i was just born when this happened
Wow this happened on my birthday.
2:33 wishful words
Those cops getting off was the greatest thing that could have happened.......For OJ.
I've read a couple of comments and people saying "f blacks" please stop ✋ it's really hurtful. Don't say it about any other culture like that please keep things like that to yourself. I respect freedom of speech but it's still rude and hurtful to people including myself .. 😔 I don't want any hate I'm simply stating what I believe
Yes I know, the way everyone reacted was not the way to go but blacks shouldn't be hated on in the comment section they weren't the only ones taking part in the riots.
Let them say it. Let us know who they are cause a silent racist is more dangerous!
The biggest victims of riots, in 1968 or 1992 or 2020, is poor black people.
There are several vids on YT of grocery stores and other businesses in poor black communities closing because of riots and rampant shoplifting.
Black people started the riot tbh
The crowd at Parker Center was throwing garbage cans, rocks, bottles, plants, eggs, waded up paper from the signs, & one of those loud sounds Linda heard wasn’t a bottle, it was a street sign someone threw at the cops.
Today......this is happening again with #GeorgeFloyd in Minneapolis
sad that we cant get police to change.
mob was just looking for an excuse to go wild.
Did Lee I. and his right hand man Tony S. ever finish rebuilding L.A.?
1:31 see who really is behind unrest
not much has changed... and that's the biggest issue.
I know. People still doing hard drugs & don’t want to be arrested. It’s so unfair, people should be able to ingest whatever they want and then get in their vehicle. It’s not fair that George Floyd wasn’t given the opportunity to drive while high on fentanyl & everything else. So sad.
It started on manchester and normandie, i lived on vermont off of budlong. You could feel the tension after those cops were aquitted
It's hard to believe things like this ever happen🤚🏾😔👉🏾🧼
this should make a good training film.
she looked scared the entire time
30 years later, and we still have not fixed race relations in this country.
I thought 90's was a fun decade? lol
Every decade has good and bad
The people who saved the life of Reginald Denny were a couple of Black people who might have just been rioting a few minutes before, and probably thought, "this is ridiculous"... This is not Lost on me... Thanks for those people using their heads ❤️ .
what a great time all the kids are having, not a phone in sight
Funny to say after the capital insurrection. So many people recorded themselves commiting crimes it was almost satirical.
Nothing justified such blind violence.
Great journalism
i couldnt care less. i was playing my sega genesis.
y
I was playing Penis In Hand: Masturbatory Edition
Sonic the hedghog 2 came out that year if i'm not mistaken yes? Streets of Rage 2. Yeah i stayed busy that year dude.
Lmao.
Yup super nintendo
I was 14 living in calif when this happend I'll never forget all this sick:/
I was stuck at work and couldn’t go back home because no other staff member came to work during this ☝️ protest
How many innocent lives did the fires take?
Ggh Bgtdg just as much lives as whites took from innocent blacks. Next question?
exactly
not to mention all the koreans murdered by blacks in armed robberies, home invasions, car jackings etc etc etc the black leaders should apologise for all the misery they brought on these vulnerable hard working migrants, its just such a travesty
Pat Mar It was the Mexicans doing most of the rioting and looting!
@@TruckerLerone everyone has blood on their hands for the festivities of 92, i mainly blame the LA times and local television news media as well as provocateurs like that fool al sharpton.
