:38:00
Let's go!
:38:01
Everybody out!
:38:03
Now! Now!
:38:07
All right, let's go!
:38:09
Come on!
:38:10
Come on, let's go.
:38:17
No green card, no fucking work.
Comprende?

:38:22
Come on!
:38:23
We're fucking going! Come on!
:38:50
Dad was gone, but things
were almost normal again.

:38:54
Derek had a good job.
:38:56
Mom was starting
to live a little.

:38:58
Everyone was feeling so good,
we just didn't see it coming.

:39:02
Maybe we should've.
:39:04
The irony is
that most of the stores...

:39:06
destroyed during the riots
were owned by black people.

:39:08
That's stupid, though.
Why trash your own neighborhood?

:39:11
Well, that's my point.
It's an irrational act.

:39:14
It's like an expression
of rage...

:39:16
by people who feel neglected
and turned away by the system.

:39:20
It's like we had in Watts
or the riots in Chicago in '68.

:39:25
I don't buy that.
:39:27
Calling a riot an irrational
expression of rage.

:39:29
That's such a cop-out.
It's opportunism at its worst.

:39:32
It's people grabbing
any excuse they can find...

:39:34
to go and loot a store,
nothing more.

:39:36
The fact that these people
ripped off the stores...

:39:38
in their own communities,
all that reflects...

:39:40
is that they have no respect
for the law at all...

:39:43
and certainly no concept
of community...

:39:46
or civic responsibility.
:39:47
Now wait a minute.
:39:48
White people commit crimes
against white people, too.

:39:51
Yeah, but they're not offing
each other in record numbers.

:39:54
Look at the statistics,
for Christ's sake.

:39:56
One in every three
black males...

:39:58
is in some phase
of the correctional system.
