KOREAN store owners were on the roofs of their businesses, with RIFLES, defending their stores and themselves against the black looters and rioters.
I remember the GLEE of the LOOTER-rioters. They were having a BALL.
I can still picture those Korean men/store owners with those white kerchiefs around their foreheads. The white kerchiefs stood out against their black hair.
========================
WATTS REDUX.
My late father came **this** close to being killed that first day. He had just retired from the Marines and was helping out a friend with some construction and they got caught behind the lines for awhile.
Don’t remember that about watts.
The same riots in which Reginald Denny was beaten was when owners in koreatown lined their roof tops and were armed.
