Were these Korean storeowners ever charged?

I'd like to know too.

[Guns R Tools]

I doubt it. What Jury would convict them?

[Darklyte27]

thats just a tv show.
if it was real cops would have showed up and arrested them!

[l_Z_l]

i dont even think the cops were around during that time?!?! weren't they away from the middle of k-town protecting the rich neighboring area's?

[DPC]

Oh yah the real cops left L.A. to burn. As for these guys good for them!!!

[HCz]

No. Also it wasn't near downtown. It was 9th + Western.

They're probably back in Korea. US is a crazy place!

i'm sure they are still here and still business owners.

i know my fathers friends were business owners during the LA riots. i know some of them didn't lose anything and some of them lost everything. even then, they rebuilt from the help of other korean community.

as far as the gun fight is concerned, none of my dad's friends were ever charged. only if you can hear the stories from the korean merchants like i have heard it.

this has nothing to do with korean or not korean.. it's all about Americans protecting their own property.

Right on!

Oh, the LA riot is a perfect example of why you need big guns.

I worked 12 hour shifts for 2 weeks without a day off during the riot. It was very tiring. I wondered why people burn down their own neighborhood. And, they ask other people to rebuild the area.

Because....

they ask other people to rebuild the area.
