A&E Interviews Gun Store Manager who Fought Back in L.A. Riots 25 Years Later

I was working a about 10 miles away from the L.A. Riots, and I clearly remember hearing from a co-worker that hoodlums were about to rise up in Pomona, a city further east and about 30 miles away from the L.A. Riots. That was scary because I would have been sandwiched in between. If we have another event like that, I think it will be much worse with insurrection and riots breaking out all over the place. That’s why I always carry an bug out bag and less-than-lethal weapons on my body everywhere and all the time. When I first began doing this, some people ridiculed me.

Back then it was certain groups who were causing riots. This time it will include many groups like antifa, and the devastation and danger will be immense. It seems that the government including LE has not learned from that event. They’re apathetic and even lethargic. Many Koreans still feel resentful towards the LAPD for not having done the job they were supposed to do.

But now we have another problem, this time with black criminals targeting Chinese. A rapper composed a “song” that advocates for home invading Chinese. He describes how most Chinese don’t use banks and instead store their money in their homes. This has caused many problems, including assaults and home invasions in a Sacramento neighborhood where Chinese reside. You won’t see this in the news unless the news station is in the area where the crime has occurred. This doesn’t fit the narrative that the media perpetuate, so they conveniently ignore this problem. The Chinese in that Sacramento neighborhood finally organized patrols because LE wasn’t doing their job. There’s video footage of attacks by black youth in that neighborhood. The video that really affected me is of a woman being assaulted as she exits or enters her car at night. It happens so fast that the violence of action surprises her and leaves her completely helpless. It angered me every time I saw it, but it also reinforced the concept of being in condition yellow.

I experienced an attempted home invasion in the late morning hours while my partially disabled mother was home. I had already been on the phone with a sheriff, describing a suspicious luxury vehicle and what I thought was one person knocking on the door. By the time the three hoodlums ran toward my home from the car, my mother’s hands were shaking but I told the sheriff on the phone that I was grabbing my shotgun. Brandishing my shotgun scared them off and made them think twice. I think the four criminals who came to our place assumed we were Chinese since most residents in my city are Chinese (but my particular area is mostly Korean). Amazingly, one of the sheriffs who arrived acted in a belligerent manner and seemed angry with me for not having said something to the guy who knocked on our door. She preferred that they remain on the streets and continue their crime spree. They were caught and now serving prison sentences. You would think that people like that sheriff would be grateful for having caught and put away those criminals. Instead I was lectured about “racism” and how I should simply tell anyone at my door to go away. I guess some LEOs don’t want to be bothered capturing criminals.

I then did research and was shocked to find many home invasions and attempted ones all over my neighborhood and city before and a few months afterward. This was extremely rare for many decades. It seems these hoodlums don’t have fear of LE because in some cases, some homes were invaded twice in one day! This had been occurring for several months and probably years, but the website doesn’t go back far enough to check. I suspect some home are vacant but some aren’t. Criminals doing such crimes are emboldened after successfully invading a home. But I then realized that the four to five gun stores around me are mostly Chinese owned. More and more Chinese are buying guns for protection because they realize it’s the only way to deter crime. I don’t trust the FBI especially after what’s happened in the past with coverups and corruption. I suspect that crime is worsening even though we’re being told that it’s decreasing. Perhaps data is being manipulated in such a way that half truths are being published. Either way, it has further reinforced the fact that we as individuals are the first line of defense. I realized this even more after my attempted home invasion. The first sheriff finally showed up after the car the criminals came in left. So had I not been properly armed (and worse had I not been home), my mother would have been a victim of a crime. One of the hoodlums was intent on breaking in because he was wearing thick green gloves, and he had already jumped one of our gates and made onto the our backyard. My mother would have been oblivious due to her location in the home and health conditions.

There appears to be a problem with endemic cowardice in the LAPD. They disarm the law-abiding, then run away when rioting breaks out, and it wasn’t just during the Rodney King riots. They did the same thing during the riots in the 1960s. More recently in the Dorner manhunts, due to their incapacitating fear, they shot-up numerous innocent civilians, who only survived due to their own good luck and to the flagrant incompetence, poor marksmanship, and non-existent tactics of the police.
