Not only are they loud and large, they're all over the country. What is the closest we've seen to this, either within or before our lifetimes?

Not in my life time. Closest thing would probably be the Rodney King riots.

I was wondering this too - I know there have been single-city riots that were far worse than anything that's happened this week, but didn't know if something country-wide like this has happened before

I mean, social media has only be around for so long. Kind hard to organize on a country wide level without that.

Around 2012 the occupy movement was very strong around the country. I worked on a documentary about the occupy movement in Oakland and I'm seeing videos with similar kind of police brutality against protesters and antifas that I saw while editing the doc.

The only ones I can think of were the 1992 riots and when Tickle Me Elmo came out.

I remember when a lady got trampled and sent to ICU because of that red devil.

I was born in 1993. I think Occupy Wallstreet was pretty major and is comparable to this. People saying that this doesn't compare to anything in our history are nuts though lol.

When is another time when there was massive riots in every major city? All on the same nights. There have been times when 1 city rioted. But we have never had the entire country rioting at the same time

No, LA riots were crazy but it was pretty contained to just Los Angeles
