Wow this is a crazy story!
A fatal hit-and-run in Hawthorne left one man dead, a good Samaritan injured by another car when she attempted to help, and the motorist who stopped to check on her after allegedly striking her beaten and robbed by a mob of bystanders…Several pedestrians who saw the two cars hit the man ran to him to try to help. One of the good Samaritans was running across Crenshaw Boulevard toward the victim when she was hit by another motorist traveling southbound.
That motorist stopped to check on the woman, but as he did so, he was attacked by a mob of bystanders.
Cars and Angry Mobs! These are deadly forces that anti-rights advocates discount when they use the metric “Gun Death”

You do realise that general “neighborhood” (it’s no such thing, of course, just an arbitrary set of geographic reference points for LEO, tax collection and postal worker’s convience) played a prominent role in events during the early summer of 1992? Which kicked off in rather similar fashion, too.
Won’t be a repeat performance from this, largely due to the lack of preparatory incitement, but it’s good to see the old communal reflexes still showing the occasional twitch. One more good summer of rolling blackouts followed by another winter of increasing food and beverage prices should see things well tuned up for our national edification the following summer after that.
The humidity of E. Texas reminds me of Vietnam more than anyplace else and I’m still unspeakably glad I moved here from S. Cali in ’93.
