What was the peninsula riot?

It refers to the riot that led to seven arrests when the band Sublime played their first show in a small club in Long Beach, California. Wikipedia--"They played their first show on July 4, 1988 at Harbor Peninsula, a small club in Long Beach, California.

What was the main concern at the 1968 Democratic National Convention?

Due to the Vietnam War, President Johnson declined to run again as US president. Major distubances from war protesters wreaked havoc in Chicago. The Democratic Party was highly embarrassed. Key players included the Chicago Police in full riot mode and backed up by the Illinois National Guard, Mayor Richard J. Daley as the Emcee, Mike Wallace and Dan Rather as the news and not reporters. Yippies and the Vietnam War were ever present delegates, the ghosts of Robert Kennedy and Martin Luther King were invisible delegates. As an almost afterthought, they nominated Hubert Humphrey as their candidate. Nixon carried 32 states and won 301 electoral votes, Humphrey won 13 States, the District of Columbia and 191 electoral votes. George Wallace picked up 5 States and 46 electoral votes.

What causes riots?

A Lack of RESPECT causes riots, fights, wars, and destruction. You see when one side doesn't respect the other side and no one can see a compromise this is what starts a riot.* To be more specific: # Dr. Martin Luther King. He made so many positive steps for blacks and whites.By being non violent. Being non violent is a way of respecting the enemy that doesn't have respect for you. When Dr. Martin Luther King was killed this made a lot of blacks angry so they took to the streets and started a riot to release their frustrations of their leader being killed. # By being non violent. No matter what they do to you, you trust in GOD or what ever you choose to believe in and even if it kills you ? You will still have won. Everything boils down to RESPECT. # With out respect ? You actually have nothing but CHAOS. Everyone will be walking over everyone and before you know it you have a fight and then a riot.
