In 1992, Los Angeles was engulfed by riots sparked by the acquittal of police officers who had brutally beaten Rodney King. The violence spread through the streets as anger intensified, with stores looted, cars set on fire, and the air filled with screams of fear. Koreatown, a close-knit Asian community in Central Los Angeles, quickly became a central focus of the conflict. Korean business owners felt abandoned when their desperate calls to the police went unanswered, and with no help coming from authorities, they realized they had no choice but to defend themselves. Groups of Korean men quickly formed to take a stand, gathering firearms and establishing communication networks to coordinate their defense. Many of these individuals had military experience and were skilled in handling weapons. They took positions on rooftops and prepared to defend their neighborhood. When the rioters descended on Kuliano, the defenders acted with determination, engaging in gunfire from their elevated perches against those attempting to loot and destroy their businesses. The sight and sound of gunshots served to discourage many attackers. When the chaos finally ended, the Korean community had held its ground, though they lost one of their own in the fight to protect their homes. Soon after, the Korean community organized a protest march to honor their resistance, which gained widespread support from both Koreans and broader society. This moment in the LA riots remains a powerful symbol of community resistance to violence and injustice. Get out. Woah. Get out.
