Doesn’t look like a lot of looting took place here. It looks more like a bunch of hooligans came in and trashed the place.

Sad that people hate others so much they feel free to hurt their business. The looters probably hate themselves for not having the cojones to actually build a business.

I believe in St. Paul, MN, a Korean shop or restaurant had some armed Koreans on the roof, Snelling avenue, I’m pretty sure the same thing that is known to have happened in LA 28 years ago or so.

I don’t blame the Korean owners for defending their stores. In Compton during the LA riots the Koreans had a target on their backs. This was because they were steadily despised by the residence of the area. The Koreans were able to make a living in a bad neighbor while not living there. This really pissed off the people of Compton because they wanted they thought the shop owners should live in Compton. There was also the issue of racial discrimination against the Koreans.
