Hey everyone, if you're an AR15.com poster, you've probably heard of the Roof Koreans, an immigrant community that ferociously defended itself during the LA Riots in April and May of 1992.

I did a deep dive on the phenomenon in my podcast, Tinderbox, focusing in on heroic individuals, the battle in K-town, and how an immigrant community can get caught up in racial conflict that predates their arrival.

Would love to hear your thoughts! If you're interested in seeing some pictures with commentary on the firearms used by the K-town defenders, see this thread: https://www.ar15.com/forums/general/26-Years-Ago-Roof-Koreans-appeared-The-Guns-of-the-92-L-A-Riots/5-2104357/

Listened to the first episode and finally lost interest. Guy talks like he is writing a college paper and comes across as being a social justice believer who is trying hard not to let it bleed through....


Latasha Harlins was going to do great things is offered as a fact by the speaker as evidenced by the way that she punched a 50 year old Korean lady in the face.... And he stated as a fact that Harlins did not intend to steal the $1.79 oj in her backpack because she had $2 in her hands. But did I hear it glossed over that she had 2 other items in her hands? So that would mean that she needed more than $2 to pay for everything....right?

Not saying that she deserved to be shot but a woman who was just unched in the face and does not know how to handle a firearm...... I could have seen that going as a Not Guilty verdict too.
