Last year, amid the turmoil caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, homicides in L.A. increased by more than 30%, topping 300 for the first time since 2009. For Lee, who came to L.A. from South Korea as a teenager, the loss of the family gas station had a domino effect. With less revenue to spread around, he bowed out of several other ventures. @Ziggy
The issue isn't either side wanting gang violence. The issue is both sides disagreeing the solution to gang violence. One side believes the solution is ranking up law and order and the other side believes closing the wealth gap and providing more economic oppurtines reduces gang violence. When we create these divisions by saying one side values gang violence more, we will never compromise on a solution.
Maybe the Korean Americans think that they know more about what they want than a dumb art history dropout gringos who don’t invest in the stock market and just smoke weed and freeload on Clutchfans without paying money
Maybe Korean businesses are successful and realize if there were no law enforcement People would loot their businesses
More and more time passes and the more I believe you are some lefty trying to use the worst framing of conservative rhetoric to make them look bad like when Steven Colbert did the Colbert Report.
No one is stating that law enforcement shouldn't exist. People believe there needs to be reform especially in how we recruit law enforcement.
Maybe the Korean Americans in LA understand more about LA than people living in Delaware or New Hampshire
Maybe people in LA understand LA more than non LA people Like people in Houston understand Houston and Austin people understand Austin
Sure they can disagree with me on which black pink member is the hottest But there’s no article about Koreans in LA who want to rid themselves of the LAPD station in K Town? you know that they call it K town right ? @Os Trigonum
From the LA times article All these different ethnic groups want the police station to stay ‘ A diverse coalition of ethnic groups got behind the effort to save Olympic station. Korean, Salvadoran, Chinese and Thai chambers of commerce signed on to the petition, which referenced the 1992 riots as a “trauma” the community endured.’
If I were in Korea town Like the dude in the LA times article , I would want to protect my hood too based on history If you actually read the article It’s about what they learned in the 90s that they were not vocal and involved now They are United and involved in the community and local government now and Korea town is strong Great story
