The po po in Cali are shell-shocked forever after Watts Riot, Compton's Cafeteria Riot, Sunset Strip curfew riots,the Berkeley riots,the White Night gay riots,the 92'Los Angeles riots(Rodney King),the Staples Center/Championship riot, the 2000' Riots in Santa Cruz~

Anaheim Police, afraid to be added to the list sought to quash a potential mob with rubber bullets and puppy-dogs. Hmmmm....all that got burned was a trash dumpster? Shit man, these folks looked predominately Hispanic which is probably why it never escalated into burning down homes and businesses in the immediate area....Pride of ownership and respect for personal property.

I'm in LA now - I'll be there - got it plugged into the GPS. It's in Compton right?

The first time I came to LA I got lost in Compton. True story. I think I saw the alley where Ricky was shot.



No, it's in HollyWEIRD.

Asian Americans are around 4% of the US population, and Jewish Americans are around 2%, so we wouldn't expect to see a high proportion of CEOs belonging to those groups.
It is, though, not uncommon to see Asian Americans in high positions in Wall Street, in medicine, or as CEOs in Silicon Valley, where I live, and Jewish Americans are certainly overrepresented as CEOs relative to their proportion of the population. The majority of big Hollywood companies, for example, have CEOs who are Jewish.


Well that certainly show'd me. Oh hey Harlem...Oh hey Compton...Oh hey Black and Hispanic kids graduating at a phenomenally lower rate than white kids. Damn guess there's nothing in America that has to do with ethnicity, socio-economic status, access to employment ect. Must be the weather or something right?

Look you're just crazy if you don't think it matters it does. There's been hundreds of studies on the subject if you want to look it up and stop bothering to argue it over the internet.

I lived for years in downtown Detroit, and now I live in one of the most violent, gang ridden parts of Los Angeles. Please do NOT tell me anything about color prejudice or police conduct. It seems the one here with no experience with law enforcement, or gang voilence, are the ones so quick to point the finger at us.


Yeah, @longde, your opinion doesn't matter because Captain Experience over here has lived in LA! Volumptuous is from the streets, yo! Hahahaha. He's straight out of Compton! LOLZ!

So if a black person endorses anti-black racism, that makes it OK? I think not.
>> ^rottenseed:
This is such bullshit that has been blown out of proportion. Do you want to know the gentlemen who started the this "Compton Cookout"? It was none other than youtube celebrity Jiggaboo Jones.
Here's a confession/statement of him talking about the incident:




well you're still fucking assuming it's racist!

Oh and next time you and Issy are in San Diego, it's a compton cookout at our house. Dew rags and 40oz's are mandatory. Trust me, you'll change your tone.

In reply to this comment by dystopianfuturetoday:
^So demeaning black people is OK because some black guy who calls himself jiggaboo says it's OK?

That's not a good excuse.

This comment thread took a turn for the better when NetRunner started waxing philosophical. The biggest problem I have with the video is the subtext of racism in it.

Can't get your bike stolen at the beach? Let's go to Compton, those nigga's will steal anything!

Wow...I bet these guys started by rigging bikes in Compton.

>> ^longde:
Nothing to do with race in my case, and everything to do with reckless pseudo-vigilantism. If the filmmaker put a tracer on the bike and then confronted the thief with some cops, I wouldn't have a problem with the concept. But this way, he can hurt not only the would-be thief, but innocent people who don't expect to have to dodge an out of control bicycle.
Plus the whole Compton angle is so contrived. If you abandon a bike in a busy intersection for hours, what do you expect but someone will pick it up. Those kids are not the 'career' bike thieves the cameraman is supposed to be targeting.


I disagree with your entire premise. If you leave a bike in most parts of the country, it doesn't get stolen. If we had a hundred jury rigged bikes in places like this, maybe people would stop fucking stealing shit that isn't theirs.


There's no valid defense for the thief.

How about a lesson in preventing your bike from getting stolen, like not leaving it unlocked in compton. dumb ass.

Hey longde?? Why down vote
the comment??....Are you appalled at the mention of fruits and meats?? Or that the flavor of the caps and explanation marks could be misconstrued as support for tsome, invisible and non-existent racist sentiments, hence, had you wished you had not even have to read it?? Burn a book and follow the links drifter, further explanation is needed to adequately ascertain the actual scope, intent, and motivations for this "hate crime"<<<<(newspeak bullshit vernacular of Big Brother) you can best bet it will be used as a model for what is "appropriate" and "unacceptable" in the form of some new laws in California and beyond....
This shit escapade should not have sparked protest, but a simple call out into the street and an ass-kicking to the douchebags who thought it would be funny.
