[0:01] it was a long violent night in South
[0:03] Central Los Angeles scores of fires set
[0:06] by Angry mobs in spite of a call for C
[0:09] from elected officials and religious
[0:11] leaders in the black community one of
[0:13] the motorists later died another was
[0:16] saved by this man A Good Samaritan who
[0:19] pulled the victim to safety going on I

[0:40] the calls and just let some buildings
[0:41] burn to the ground firemen reported

[0:54] and 40 fires are burning they say as
[0:56] soon as they put one out somebody sets

[1:10] something about it Jim meski is at the
[1:12] White House this morning Jim good
