So we are back with the second half of the riots that changed LA forever. After the inital day of rioting, the violence became more widespread throughout the city. While law enforcement was quick to block off the neighborhoods of Beverly Hills and West Hollywood, the Korean community was trapped in the middle.

And so they defended themselves while cops ran from gunfire and dispatchers didn't answer their phones call.

When it was all said and done, there was over 1 billion dollars in damage to the city, and over 60 lives were lost during that week of hell on earth. Unfortunately, we now have to deal with a president weaponizing the military against us like this again, all cause his feelings got hurt.
