[QUOTE="tonyexpress, post: 867177, member: 1940"] Certainly an interesting time and don't we continue to live in interesting times......... From a UPS Los Angeles riot prospective: In 1992 I had only been a supervisor for a couple of years and was working in a UPS facility in Orange County (Laguna) about 50 miles south of the L.A. riots. As UPS does and should do we look out for our own, fires, hurricanes, riots, you name it. Anyway not knowing what to expect I was dispatched to Los Angeles to ride with drivers because traveling in teams was the only safe way to get X amount of days’ worth of deliveries, delivered. Went to L.A. two consecutive days and with all the help that's all it took clean out the building. I rode with a driver right in the heart of the clothing and jewelry district. This was back in the day, especially in this area where a lot of cash was collected. In fact the driver had a cash box welded to the rear shelf of his package car and would drop the cash there. Fortunately due to my bulging biceps there were no incidents. :happy-very:In all honesty I was probably looking backwards more than ahead all day long both days I was there. We had to be back before dark each day and let’s just say being hyper aware of our surroundings was a no brainer. [/QUOTE]
