How different are the perspectives of liberal and conservative commentators about the L.A Riots?

This week’s discussion asks you to think and write about various written perspectives on the Rodney King Riots. After reading the background material and the sources on Globalyceum, answer the following questions:

How different are the perspectives of liberal and conservative commentators about the L.A Riots? How do they see the importance of the trial verdict in what the rioters and looters were doing, how do they characterize the looters and rioters, and what do they think is the possible responsibility of government and businesses for the riots?

There is no need to provide a detailed description of each source in your answer, since all of the other students will have read them as well. Instead, use details from the sources as evidence to support your answer to the discussion questions.
