(I cant say 2 much tho as i live in a shitty part of town & it would make me paranoid) Just a few years ago during my neighborhood's block party a full on gang riot broke out in the street. Before this i was getting drunk and high with my best friend, we also did yayo, the party was really getting started but my boy went the fuck home around 9pm; the riot was 20min later. After he left i went to my room 2 continue drinking/smoking & snorting by myself, 20min L8R i heard loud yelling/screaming from outside. I went out there and it was HELL ON EARTH all i can remember at 1st was a big crowd in the middle of the street fistfighting. It looked like this; about 50 people PACKED together in the street beating the shit out of each other most were probly drunk, beer bottles & chairs just about anything flying in every direction. Anybody else not involved ran home like it was a tornado, it happened so god damned fast!!! Like i said im not saying 2 much but my "friend" got a bottle broken over his head & had to get +50 stitches, his cousin got his front teeth knocked out, my cousin Vicky got a chair thrown at her a big bruise was on her chest. This whole thing went down cuz of some BS & it turned into a real life gang war between 15 drunken/wired men Vs 30 teenagers from another gang/block, it was INSANE you would never see this in a movie even shows that have video of riots were not as intense as what i saw. I didn't see that much as i was very drunk/high but it was literally rite in front of my house, the cops came 5 minutes after it started BTW. That's my story and ever since then there's been no mention of another block party.
Damn that's fucking insane. And it doesn't have to be in the ghetto, a riot can happen anywhere. People in the suburbs are still people, not perfectly normal
The closest I've seen to riots were at hardcore shows whenever kids would take on bouncers, I never felt like it was a big deal though.
Although young at the time I witnessed the Watts riots in LA Never seen so much violence and looting in my life!! Was horrible
