Article is inaccurate and biased edit
The bias in this article is inaccurate, trying to skew the riot as a race riot, when it was in fact over women, which is why it was censored at the time. (Race riots, such as the Zoot Suit and others, were reported.) The American troops, better paid, had been "consorting" with the Kiwi troop's wives and girlfriends while they were away in North Africa and elsewhere. See the book Faithful Warriors by a marine officer eyewitness. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.0.214.1 (talk) 20:15, 5 October 2021 (UTC)
Bevan and Bioletti edit
Who are Bevan and Bioletti?: "But both Bevan (page 215) and Bioletti (page 149-150) dispute claims that there were two deaths."
Court of injury edit
I can't find any record of a "court of injury". Tanifa (talk) 00:09, 7 November 2020 (UTC)
