I always remember that day and how crazy it was. I was at Dodger Stadium when they broke out. I cant drive through there without scenes flashing through my consciousness.Alfredohttp://www.lanative.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9045235436087182302.post-20716487739236111132009-04-30T04:37:00.000-07:002009-04-30T04:37:00.000-07:00I watched Champions League at my friends house tod...I watched Champions League at my friends house today, He lives not more than three blocks from here. Funny because all I cared about today was MAN U winning over Arsenal. I had some great ceviche and shot the shit with good friends.<br /><br />I remember when the riots happend. I was ten and my father insisted on coming over to be with my grand mama. I remember the Mobs of people on Western and Slauson. The rocks that were thrown the church that once stood near there, my dad's car getting all dented. Running in the house and hiding under the table watching the news and tripping out on the shop keepers on top of the Swap Meet with shot guns, and they paint store on fire. When night fell I heard helicopters and anrgy crowds. I saw fires on TV and it wasn't until 11:30 pm when my dad said "FUCK IT we are Leaveing!" We all got in my dads Pontiac and he floored it down Western. Buildings were on fire, a right on Florance and smash. Passed through Inglewood to the Sav-on in the Marina. Grand Mama needed something before she went to bed, we all needed something before we got to our safe home in the westside. At ten years old I had so many questions that have still to this day have gone unanswered.<br /><br />Militant Angeleno you're the shit! That is why I had to reply to your post today.<br /><br />Fuck ever one who comes down to the hood just when nostalgia comes calling. <br /><br />Militant Angeleno ... Ur cool. Everyone else gets a BIG FUCKING YOU!!!!<br /><br /><br />Man U won today so I'm happy. My friend is an Arsenal fan so he is kinda Bummed. Heh.... just another day.Pablohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16362471609203514127noreply@blogger.com
