A Lesson From the Rooftop Koreans of 1992
Posted By: ladydawgfan, 6/9/2025 5:23:43 PM
This past weekend wasn’t the first time Los Angeles has experienced large-scale riots, chaos, and violence. The city has seen multiple major episodes of civil unrest in recent history. In 2020, protests and riots erupted following the death of George Floyd, and in 1992, widespread violence broke out after the brutal beating of Rodney King by four police officers. In April of 1992, following the acquittal of the 4 officers accused of excessive force against Rodney King, LA erupted into chaos. While the protests started peacefully, they very quickly turned into riots. People began to loot liquor stores and other businesses, going so far as to assault the business owners.

Last Friday, the Trump administration announced the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, an illegal immigrant from El Salvador, While Democrats and the mainstream media may want to put out a particular narrative about this "Maryland man" or even "Maryland father," the truth is he's being brought back to face some pretty serious charges.
As much as Abrego Garcia's lawyers and supporters may have fought for him to return, Alan Dershowitz, who has been a defense attorney for some pretty high profile figures, told NewsNation that same day that a "big mistake" was made.
Dershowitz described the move as "a big mistake, big blunder by his lawyers,"
Democrat Rep. Maxine Waters arrived in downtown Los Angeles amid the violent anti-ICE protests on Sunday to stir up trouble.
Maxine Waters fanned the flames and taunted National Guard troops who were called in to quell the riots.
President Trump sent 2,000 troops to downtown Los Angeles on Saturday after California’s Democrat Governor Gavin Newsom refused to act.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced he will mobilize Active Duty Marines from Camp Pendleton in northern San Diego to stop the violence.
On Sunday it was revealed elements of the 79th Infantry Brigade Combat Team from the California National Guard was deployed to downtown Los Angeles.
Mad Maxine Waters attended the riots Sunday in Los Angeles to show her support for the lawless protesters, illegal aliens, and violent leftists.
At one point Maxine Waters attempted to barge into the the Los Angeles Federal Building to check on arrested SEIU President David Huerta. Despite her “congressional authority,” she was denied entry.
Maxine tried to grab the door before it closed.
The officers stationed outside the building slammed the door in her face… After she said she was using her Congressional authority to enter.
It was a rough day for Mad Maxine.
Stu, who captured the video, posted this as a follow-up.
Tony Moon’s Twitter account was likely going off the rails yesterday. Everyone who remembers the 1992 LA riots and the ‘Rooftop Koreans’ was either mentioning him or making references, leading to others tagging him in their threads. Moon is one of the original rooftop Koreans who grabbed their guns and took defensive positions atop their businesses as hordes of rioters descended upon them. It’s a classic American tale: invoking one’s Second Amendment rights to defend themselves and their property when law and order are absent, and the police cannot be relied on amid the chaos.
Bongino: We're Not Backing Down

After the National Guard descended on Los Angeles Saturday night to quell a violent leftist mob disrupting Immigration and Customs Enforcement operations in the area, Deputy FBI Director Dan Bongino reassured Americans Sunday morning that deportations will continue.
"We are not stopping or slowing down. We are not intimidated or apprehensive. Illegal immigration operations will continue, and anyone using violence to obstruct or impede these operations will be investigated and prosecuted," Bongino posted on X. "Multiple arrests have already been made, in both LA and NY, and additional investigations are ongoing, and producing results."
"Many of these subjects will face federal charges, along with local and state charges.
How many times can we keep saying that Democrats haven’t learned a thing from the 2024 election? It’s hard to believe that we’ve now reached a point where Democrats flying down to El Salvador to wine and dine an illegal immigrant MS-13 gang member were the good old days because the radical left has now escalated to rioting.
This isn’t just political theater anymore. It’s a dangerous meltdown. Violence and destruction aren’t just tolerated—they’re part of the left’s political playbook. When they don’t get their way, they pour gasoline and light a match, leaving chaos in their wake.
Hegseth Threatens to Send in the Marines

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is threatening to send active duty U.S. Marines to calm riots in Los Angeles if the National Guard can't get the job done.
"The violent mob assaults on ICE and Federal Law Enforcement are designed to prevent the removal of Criminal Illegal Aliens from our soil; a dangerous invasion facilitated by criminal cartels (aka Foreign Terrorist Organizations) and a huge NATIONAL SECURITY RISK," Hegseth warned on X Saturday night. "Under President Trump, violence & destruction against federal agents & federal facilities will NOT be tolerated. It’s COMMON SENSE. The [Defense Department] is mobilizing the National Guard IMMEDIATELY to support federal law enforcement in Los Angeles.

A North Dakota man is accused of threatening to kill former President Barack Obama, breaking into a National Park Service historic site and threatening other people.
A federal grand jury indictment filed Wednesday levies felony charges of burglary, damage to property of the U.S., terrorizing, malicious mischief, threatening to kill a former U.S. president and three counts of threatening interstate communications against Ian Patrick Stewart of Williston.
The indictment said Stewart “did knowingly and willfully threaten to kill and inflict bodily harm upon” Obama between April 20 and May 13. The document doesn’t detail the alleged threat. Stewart also is accused of threatening to injure three Williston residents in May.
Far-left Rep. Pramila Jayapal has begun proudly hosting “shadow hearings” about the deportation of alleged illegal alien gang bangers.
Titled “Kidnapped and Disappeared: Trump’s Lawless Third Country Disappearances,” the first hearing was held Friday: [Tweet, video]
“Since taking office in January, President Trump has shown nothing but utter contempt for the Constitution,” Jayapal said in a statement. “He has ignored and decimated the traditional role of Congress and defied and defamed the courts, doing untold damage to our democracy.”
Small Business Administration (SBA) Administrator Kelly Loeffler revealed that the SBA would be moving its Regional Office out of Los Angeles after Mayor Karen Bass refused to cooperate with the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency.
In a post on X, Loeffler responded to a post in which Bass said she was “deeply angered” after hearing “reports of federal immigration enforcement actions” being taken in the city. In Bass’s statement, she said her office was in “close coordination with immigrant rights community organizations” and would “not stand for this.”
“Los Angeles is openly refusing to cooperate with ICE – siding with illegal aliens over American citizens and small businesses,”

Representative Jamie Raskin (D-MD) said Friday on CNN’s “The Agenda” that Elon Musk’s government contracts should be cancelled and President Donald Trump should be impeached.”
Host Kasie Hunt said, “Elon Musk, do you think that this back and forth with the president has made it more or less likely the president’s agenda will get passed? And should Democrats be embracing Elon Musk right now?”
Raskin said, “So first of all, the wretched, ugly, gargantuan bill that they’re trying to drive through, Congress will throw 14 million Americans off of their Medicaid and drive millions of Americans off of their SNAP benefits, which is nutrition, which is food for people.

as Thousands of Rioters Block Freeway,
Torch Cars 25 replies
Thousands of anti-ICE rioters descended on a major freeway in downtown Los Angeles Sunday evening, blocking traffic in both directions, while rioters downtown set off fireworks and torched several self-driving cars.
Police officers were eventually able to force the mob down an exit ramp, restoring the free flow of traffic on the 101 Freeway, but Los Angeles Police Chief Jim McDonnell admitted that his officers were “overwhelmed” by the scale of the riots, which have continued for four consecutive days in Los Angeles.
“We are overwhelmed,” McDonnell said in a Sunday night press conference. “Tonight, we had individuals out there shooting commercial-grade fireworks at our officers. That can kill you.”
Eva Longoria and Chrissy Teigen were among the Hollywood stars speaking out on social media about the ongoing protests in Los Angeles over ICE raids ordered by President Donald Trump. Multiple stars took to platforms such as Instagram amid news Trump ordered 2000 troops with California’s National Guard to the area amid ongoing unrest, to the objection of California Governor Gavin Newsom. On her Instagram Stories, Longoria reposted a tweet from Newsom in which he criticized Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth over his threat to deploy active-duty marines into the area to quell the resistance to Trump's policy. Hegseth said via
California Gov. Gavin Newsom added fuel to the fire after daring President Trump’s border czar Tom Homan to arrest him for failing to crack down on violent anti-ICE agitators in his state. “Come after me. Arrest me. Let’s just get it over with, tough guy,” the defiant Democrat told NBC News on Sunday. Newsom’s taunt came soon after Homan had warned that the governor and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass could both face federal charges for trying to thwart ICE raids throughout the city.
Democrats are trying to make “TACO” — or “Trump always chickens out”— a new political slogan to get under the president’s skin. But it is not as clever a quip as they think it is, and it creates a perverse incentive for Trump to push the red buttons they don’t want him to push. (snip) it is straightforwardly wrongheaded as a political slogan. Why on Earth would Democrats dare Trump to follow through on his most extreme tariff threats? If this slogan were to really work, (snip)it would nudge him and his allies to cling more tightly to the most extreme versions of Trump’s bad economic policies.

LOS ANGELES — California Gov. Gavin Newsom said he planned to file a lawsuit Monday against President Donald Trump in response to the administration’s extraordinary deployment of the National Guard to confront immigration protesters who took to the streets in Los Angeles.
“Commandeering a state’s National Guard without consulting the governor of that state is illegal and immoral,” Newsom, a Democrat, told MSNBC on Sunday. The streets of the sprawling city of 4 million people were quiet Monday morning, but the smell of smoke hung in the air downtown, one day after crowds blocked off a major freeway and set self-driving cars on fire as police responded with tear gas, rubber

An Australian news reporter was shot with a rubber bullet live on air while reporting on the anti-ICE riots in Los Angeles on Sunday, shocking video shows. Nine News’ US correspondent Lauren Tomasi was covering the violent protests against President Trump’s immigration policies when she was hit on camera. Video shows Tomasi yelp in pain after she was struck in the leg by the bullet fired from a Los Angeles Police Department officer. Tomasi had been reporting on the stand-off situation, which she said had “rapidly deteriorated” moments before she was caught in the crossfire.
Marc Thiessen commented on the Trump administration's new strategy for dealing with sanctuary cities on this week's "FOX News Sunday" panel: (snip) Donald Trump has beaten the Democrats, powered by illegal immigration, and they still can’t seem to get it right.
You have people literally burning cars, throwing rocks at ICE agents, and the Democrats are siding with the protesters over the administration trying to restore law and order.
And what has the left riled up, and what’s causing all this, is that the Trump administration has figured out a way around sanctuary city laws.

‘Blue Texas’ Effort After Democrats
Fail to Flip the State 16 replies
Democrats are reportedly gearing up to try and flip Texas blue with help from leftist billionaire and mega-donor George Soros.
The group known as Texas Majority PAC is set to launch its “Blue Texas” initiative on Monday, according to the Wall Street Journal (WSJ).
The newspaper said the Texas Democrat Party and other county parties will join the effort that will culminate in the midterm elections next year.
Soros has tried but failed in the past to turn Texas blue by throwing millions of dollars into the effort. The WSJ article said he recently donated $1 million to the Texas Majority PAC:
Texas has been a Republican stronghold for decades, providing the GOP
Shayetet 13, the elite IDF naval unit, intercepted the Gaza Freedom Flotilla early on Monday morning at around 3 a.m., according to the ship's operators and military officials.
The IDF boarded the Madleen, and took the crew and the ship to the Port of Ashdod, where they would be sent back to their respective countries, with Defense Minister Israel Katz instructing that the passengers view footage from Hamas's October 7 attacks. (Snip)
The ministry later announced that the flotilla, referring to it as the "selfie yacht," was making its way to Israeli shores, and announced that all passengers are expected to return to their home countries.
Ever since President Trump federalized the National Guard to restore order in Los Angeles and protect federal officers from violent left-wing mobs, the left has been screeching the same tired lie: that Trump “refused” to send the Guard to the Capitol on January 6. It’s a narrative being pushed by Democrat hacks, legacy media mouthpieces, and keyboard warriors who conveniently ignore the facts. The truth? Trump absolutely did authorize and recommend the deployment of National Guard troops ahead of January 6—multiple times.
The Hard Truth about ‘L’Affaire Chauvin’
14 replies
A week or so ago, I received an email from an old friend in the intelligence community—let’s call him “Smiley”—commenting on my research into the case of Derek Chauvin, the former Minneapolis police officer convicted in April 2021 of murdering chronic felon and drug abuser George Floyd a year prior.
Said Smiley, “Time for you to write a ‘J’accuse’ piece--naming names.” He was referring to the powerful public letter French author Emile Zola wrote in 1898 damning the people responsible for the wrongful conviction and imprisonment of French Army Captain Alfred Dreyfus four years prior.
The U.S. military is set to temporarily deploy about 700 Marines to Los Angeles while additional National Guard troops arrive in the city, a U.S. official told Reuters on Monday. The deployment comes as the city enters its fourth day of protests over President Donald Trump's immigration enforcement policies.
About 300 California National Guard troops were already deployed to Los Angeles streets on Sunday, a move Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom called unlawful. The anonymous U.S. official confirmed that a Marine battalion would be sent to provide support, though the Insurrection Act is not expected to be invoked at this time.
The National Guard presence is expected to expand dramatically,
