Here you have an incident where armed citizens stopped democrats from looting and burning their stores.....because the people of Korea Town had guns....and the police left the scene....
25 years after LA Riots: Korean gun store manager speaks (VIDEO)
Former gun store manager David Joo talks about the day in 1992 when he and other local business owners stuck to their guns to defend Koreatown from looters during the LA Riots.
As part âL.A. Burning: The Riots 25 Years Laterâ by the A&E network, Joo spoke about the flashpoint in American history sparked in the aftermath of the Rodney King trial.
Called into work by the gun store owner, Joo said when he arrived and saw police there he though the rioting in the area was under control.
âWe are safe,â he said, then quickly added, âBut as soon as the gunfighting started, they ran away. Goodbye!â
Spliced with archival footage from the day showing a much younger Joo clad in soft body armor and firing a Beretta pistol, he relates the events in a brief segment.
âIn retrospect, it was a dangerous moment and I was scared, but you know even though you are scared you donât have much option,â said Joo.âYou have to fight.â
