Forty years ago tonight, Washington burned, baby, burned -- just as so many other cities burned after Martin Luther King Jr.'s assassination. And it only took about 40 years to fix up some of the destroyed neighborhoods along H Street NE, 14th and U, and various other chunks of the District that ended up looking like Hiroshima after the Bomb. And now Wonkette's own Liz Glover says the National Guard actually burnt D.C. to the ground, not the freaked-out rioters.
Happy MLK Assassination Riot Day, Washington!
