At least they have the balls to defend their stuff. Big props to them.

Yeah, the anti-gunners can try to tell these people we don't need guns since the police will protect us.

Yep. Good nonetheless. ETA: I like how they parked their cars in a semi-circle around the storefront. You guys catch that? A modern-day "circling of the wagons" to help keep the savages at bay. |

There were a few news videos of Koreans with Uzis/AKs going cyclic on people, one Korean forgot to wear a bandana covering his face and he was charged for possessing an unregistered full-auto Uzi.

A real life, no holds barred SHTF situation. I am glad they were able to defend themselves and their shops from the roving bands of thugs and looters.
But I must say, some of those comments left their are well,

Completely understandably, and justifiable.
Korean shop-owners were deliberately targeted by the rioters in many cases, and the police were completely overwhelmed. But I agree about the "more rifle" comment. Effective pistol range (at least when shooting one-handed on-the-move) is practically molotov cocktail range. |

If it was New Orleans, they would have been disarmed to make it safe for the looters & rioters.

I guess "overwhelmed" and "retreated to the safety of the stationhouse" are the same thing?? The police were nowhere to be seen--they pulled back and left them to their own devices. It was later reported about four hundred-some dead--that video is how they died. Should have been more. |

Maybe if you can't ccw it's a good idea to have a piece at work, so if the SHTF while you are at work you still have some defense.
That situation would be a perfect oppertunity to use a scoped rifle to great effect. |

I'd say one is a result of the other. Unless you had hundreds of officers in riot gear, there was no way you were going to quell that crowd. The police were unprepared for what happened. What's an absolute unrestrained laugh-riot (heh) is the ACLU woman in aaron_fsp's video (approx 1:04 into it) agitating for more of a police response... this from the very organization that's filed more lawsuits, put on more press conferences, and generally done everything in its power to tie the hands of LE. Who do we hear throwing verbal brick-bats at the police for "abuse" and "excessive force" every time there's a civil disturbance? The ACLU. My irony meter is pegged. |

I wonder how many rioters shit their pants when the people they were trying to harm suddenly opened up a hail of lead on them.

It's just property.... they should have left it behind and let the looters take it! No store is worth a mans life!
[bleeding heart mode off] Good on 'em. I can only hope a few of those animals died surprised when they stopped being able to beat the hell out of the defenseless.

The police may have been overwhelmed but it doesn't look to me like the Koreans were any better armed than the standard police and they seemed to have managed the situation somewhat.
I do recall seeing some of that footage on the news during the riots. A real life example of what we individuals need to be prepared for should we find ourselves in such a situation. |

Ramona Ripston(ACLU) "Had the police department acted quickly, there would have been far less burning, looting, um if the police had been quick to respond." Isn't the opposite of what the ACLU usually wants.

Funny, isn't it? Knowing the ACLU's aversion to the use of force, I wonder what their idea of "acted quickly" would have been? Gather everybody around in a discussion circle? Talk to the angry gangsta thugs? Put some of that much-touted "conflict resolution" training into play? It probably goes without saying, but they're NOT my go-to-guys for advice on what police "should have done." |

Reginald Denny. A thug named Damien "Football" Williams bashed his head in with a brick. The video was captured from a helicopter. IIRC, Chief Gates went and arrested Williams personally. When he was being arrested, Williams taunted Gates about losing his job, saying "Chief Gates, you're gone." Gates replied "Yes, Football... but you're going first." ************ Edit ************** Williams was sentenced to ten years for "felony mayhem," but only served four years. He was later convicted of murder for killing a drug dealer, and sent back for 30-year-to-life. |

It wasn't just the Koreans defending their property with weapons during the riots. They were the only ones who were videotaped extensively due to them being targeted. All these videos were taken pretty early on during the riots. Most of the news crews bugged out late morning on the second day.
I spent night #2 on the rooftop of a family members store close to downtown. There were 3 of us and over the course of the night, we fired 20-30 "warning shots" as roving gangs of looters were all over the place trying to break into the stores. The stupid dumbasses were all carrying flashlights making perfect targets in the pitch dark. It would have been easy to drop most of them but a shot over the heads moved them along nicely. Only one time did someone shoot back (pistol) but we couldn't tell where the shot came from. Shortly after sunrise a Marine patrol (of all things) showed up from Pendleton. It was pretty quiet after that. One hairy experience to say the least. |
