I was in living in a townhouse in a really nice neighborhood during the LA "Rodney King" riots. One of the units was very rarely occupied as the owner lived elsewhere and kept it as a place to sleep when he was in town. Suddenly that townhouse had a family living in it, relatives of the owner who needed to get out of LA. They stayed 'til the "all clear" sounded (is it ever all clear in LA?). I have no idea how they fared after returning to LA.

I don't know your situation or who Sean Bell is, but if it really is a concern today would be a good day to make sure you have what you need to "bug-in" at home, or you can preemptively bug-out to another place outside the hot zone. Watch this one develop and fizzle from afar. Spend the weekend in Atlantic City
