The Koreans learned this lesson in the L.A. Riots. They were all armed and the men all had military experience from being drafted in Korea. When the first Korean storekeeper was killed by the ferals, they all pulled out their weapons and defended their stores, shooting to kill the looters.
The police have never given a complete total of the number of looters killed by gunfire. But no Korean stores were attacked after initially being repulsed and they haven’t been attacked to this day.
Remember your rights under the 2d Amendment.
Even with the Koreans arming up, over 2,300 businesses run by Korean business owners were damaged, ransacked and looted during the riots.
The Koreans were clearly caught off guard as were lots of other people.
Remember that the Koreans made a point of swapping weapons frequently, so none could be tied to any particular person. They also, to a man, SAID NOTHING. Police did try to prosecute, but were thwarted.
The Koreans learned this lesson in the L.A. Riots... The police have never given a complete total of the number of looters killed by gunfire.
And, apparently, be prepared to eat what you shoot!
