A peaceful protest of the George Zimmerman verdict in Los Angeles turned violent Monday after youths broke away from the main demonstration in Leimert Park, stomped on cars, broke windows, set fires and attacked several people.
KCBS-TV/KCAL-TV reporter Dave Bryan and his cameraman were among those who came under assault. One of the two journalists was taken to a hospital with a possible concussion,Los Angeles Police Department Lt. Andy Neiman told The Times.
Protesters also stormed a Wal-Mart in the Crenshaw district of Los Angeles, pushing their way through as guards scrambled to close security gates. A short while later, LAPD officers wearing helmets and carrying batons swarmed the store as others marched through the parking lot.
Young vandals who entered the Wal-Mart stormed in, threw merchandise on the ground and yelled, shoppers told a Times reporter. Some tried to break open the jewelry glass displays. The disturbance in the Crenshaw district of Los Angeles caused about 350 LAPD officers to swarm the area, leading to at least 13 arrests.Elsewhere, one young man was seen throwing a metal wastebasket at the window of a darkened Jack-in-the-Box restaurant.

If Obama had a brain, he would look like the scarecrow.
At least they had the good sense to beat a journalist.
Ummm… those are white guys in the photo
Obamba is white, at least half of him .
I have long seen WalMart as a symbol of “The Man” who keeps Blacks enslaved by the low, low prices. It makes perfect for the rioters to have attacked them.
Sean – that kid throwing the trash can looks like a white-hispanic to me, or maybe even a white-black now that we know such hyphenated distinctions are possible.
If a white-black marries a black-white and has kids, are the Checkerboards?
“Rioting for Peace”, “Looting for Trayvon”? Has anyone trademarked these yet?
