The 1992 Los Angeles riots were the largest riots in the United States since the 1960s.
Thousands of African Americans and Latinos took to the streets, looting and setting fires everywhere for four days.
Property damage caused was approximately $1 billion, there were more than 600 arsons, and police arrested 10,000 people.
As for the cause of the incident, a black man named Rodney King was driving drunk, speeding, running a red light, and was stopped by the police.
Rodney had a previous case and was released on bail. He didn't want to go in again, so he resisted arrest.
He was subsequently subdued by four police officers who shot him in the head with electric batons.
This video was captured with a camera and sold to the TV station.
The TV station clumsily deleted the video. There was only a scene of the four police officers beating Rodney, but not a scene of Rodney resisting arrest.
Later the court acquitted the four police officers, and the black people became angry. They took to the streets and started shopping for zero dollars.
……
Yang Ye stood on the street, looking at the panic-stricken people running around in Chinatown, feeling sad in his heart.
After the riot began, it quickly spread to the entire greater Los Angeles area, causing chaos everywhere.
The National Police Guard in Los Angeles chose to abandon the Asian community and fully protect the white community due to limited numbers.
In this way, the Asian community is exposed to the attack range of the mob, while the white community is heavily guarded. As long as they are not fools, they will know who to attack.
Another trigger for this riot was a black girl who went to steal something from a Korean supermarket and was shot to death by an old Korean lady.
Later, the old lady was only sentenced to five years of probation, and the black people were very dissatisfied with this.
So after the riots started, black people began to attack the "Koreatown" in Los Angeles, intending to retaliate.
People from the three East Asian countries cannot tell the difference between black people. In their eyes, they all look the same.
Chinatown and Koreatown are relatively close. Since black people want to take revenge on Koreatown, they will hunt rabbits and loot Chinatown.
And the people of the three East Asian countries all have one characteristic, that is, they are hardworking and like to save money.
For black people, this is really an excellent target for robbery. Suddenly, a large number of black people rushed towards the Asian community crazily.
Black thugs are coming fiercely, and the National Guard has abandoned the Asian community. What should Asians do?
Korean Americans chose to unite and confront the thugs.
Korean Americans do this because they have the conditions.
South Korea has a three-year mandatory military service mechanism. Most of them have been soldiers, can shoot, and have certain combat capabilities and organizational skills.
As a result, Koreans organized their own armed security teams to maintain the security of the town.
They held rifles and climbed onto the roof, wearing glasses and holding cigarettes, to attack black people who dared to invade Koreatown.
The Koreans are well-trained, and those ragtag blacks are no match at all.
During the four-day riot, the Koreans repelled several waves of black attacks, killed dozens of blacks, and defended their homes.
Only one of the Koreans died.
This battle made Koreans famous in the United States and made black people fearful of Koreans.
"Korean on the Roof" has also become a very loud saying in the United States.
……
The Chinese people not far from Koreatown chose to follow the advice of the National Guard and evacuate. Give your home to black people and let them smash and loot.
Of course this behavior is understandable and can be regarded as a means of protecting one's own safety.
First of all, the black people are here for the Koreans, while the Chinese have nothing to do with them.
So in the face of the riots, the Chinese just chose to close their doors and evacuate temporarily.
But they didn’t expect that if a black person buys it for zero dollars, it doesn’t matter whether you are Korean, Chinese or Japanese.
I can’t tell the difference at all!
Even if you can tell the difference clearly, it's just like beating a rabbit with grass.
Secondly, China does not have mandatory military service like South Korea. In this regard, many Chinese have not received military training and do not have as good fighting qualities as Koreans.
Also, Chinese and Korean Americans are treated differently in the United States, the most obvious of which is the green card waiting system.
There is no waiting period for Koreans, while the waiting period for Chinese Americans ranges from 5 to 15 years.
According to California law, only green card holders and U.S. citizens are allowed to possess guns.
Therefore, the proportion of gun ownership in the Chinese community is much lower than that in the Korean community.
Therefore, it is difficult for Chinese Americans to quickly organize a decent team to fight against black thugs like Korean Americans.
......
Adjani quickly called and asked Yang Ye to quickly withdraw to Beverly Hills.
Beverly Hills is a high-end residential area for white people and is a key protection target of the Los Angeles National Police Guard.
As long as Yang Ye takes the crew back, nothing will happen and he will be safe.
"Look out for Elaine and don't go out. I'll be fine!" Yang Ye comforted Adjani for a few words and hung up the phone.
Gong Li went back to the capital to film "Farewell My Concubine".
Nakamori Akina is still in Los Angeles, but she lives in Beverly Hills and is very safe.
Yang Ye called Nakamori Akina and asked her not to go out for the next few days. He comforted her a few times, saying that she would be fine, and then hung up the phone.
He's going to have a big fight.
Yang Ye asked the prop master: "Where are our guns?"
The prop master stepped forward and replied: "They are all in the car." "Is he a real guy?"
< br>When shooting a movie, to save trouble, real guns are usually used instead of prop guns.
Li Guohao died because a bullet was fired from a real gun while filming "The Crow".
"Part of it is true."
"Are there any bullets?"
"Only blank bullets!"
"That won't work, I want live ammunition, go buy it."
“Boss, all the shops outside are closed!”
Yang Ye thought for a while and called White: "Get me a gun!"
White was shocked: "What do you want a gun for?"
"I want to fight!"
“Are you kidding?”
“I’m serious, those thugs are coming to Chinatown, I can’t ignore it, call your people, help me send a batch of equipment. Guns and ammunition , radio walkie-talkies, the more the better”
"Okay, I'll make the arrangements!"
White is a casino operator. This kind of people are usually involved in gangs. It is easy to send a batch of arms.
......
It is not difficult to obtain arms. Now that everyone is running away, how to organize the team is the most troublesome.
Yang Ye thought for a while and said to the photographer: "Help me record a video."
Yang Ye stood on the street and said to the camera: "Chinese compatriots, brothers and sisters, hello everyone, I am Yang Ye.
I am making this speech today because thugs are smashing and looting everywhere. Los Angeles has become a mess.
Now, I am standing on the streets of Chinatown. You can see that there are panicked people everywhere.
The thugs have not come yet, people think. There is nothing wrong with leaving the dangerous place temporarily to avoid this disaster, but I want to ask, what will happen to my family if I can leave? Do I really have to give up everything I have worked hard for?
I know the National Guard has abandoned Chinatown and only guards white neighborhoods.
If I wanted to, I could hide in Beverly Hills immediately, it would be very safe.
But I want to stay in Chinatown because... I am a Chinese.
We Chinese have dominated Asia and have been proud for five thousand years. We cannot be scared away by a few thugs. This is detrimental to our dignity.
The Koreans in Koreatown next door have organized themselves to defend their homes and property. Are we Chinese inferior to Koreans?
I am now issuing an initiative and request to all Chinese in Los Angeles: Those who have served in the military and can play with guns, please join me in fighting the thugs!
I'm waiting for you in Chinatown! "
After Yang Ye recorded the video, he contacted Huang Jinbo, the mayor of Cerritos City.
"Mayor Huang, my people will send you a video now. The TV station and radio station helped me broadcast it. ”
Cerritos is a small city in Los Angeles County with a population of hundreds of thousands, two-thirds of which are Asians. Huang Jinbo is the mayor of this city.
In addition to being in politics, Huang Jinbo is also a businessman, running a Chinese TV station and a radio station.
Huang Jinbo once sang "Descendants of the Dragon" at the CCTV Spring Festival Gala, and Yang Ye had a relationship with him.
There are too many Asians in Cerritos, and they are the targets of black attacks. Huang Jinbo is thinking of ways to strengthen guards to prevent blacks from attacking Cerritos and causing riots.
After hearing what Yang Ye said, he asked curiously: "What are you going to do?"
Yang Ye said: "The Los Angeles National Police team has given up on the Chinese community. I want to call a team. , go to war with the thugs!”
Huang Jinbo was shocked. You are not an American. Why are you joining in the fun?
But if you think about it carefully, Yang Ye has always been called a national hero by many Chinese Americans. At this time, he really can't ignore it and let this title go to waste.
Moreover, at such a critical moment, if he rises up and shouts, it might actually be useful.
"Okay, you send the tape over, I will fully assist you. I will be your liaison officer and fight side by side with you!"
"Well done!"
< br>
...
More than an hour later, Huang Jinbo's Chinese TV station and radio station began to broadcast Yang Ye's "recruitment order", calling on everyone to return to Chinatown and fight against the thugs with Yang Ye.
Yang Ye has an industry in Chinatown. He has a theater chain that spans Asian communities in North America.
Due to his special status, he also had a U.S. green card early.
In this way, although he is not an American, he can legitimately stand up and protect his property.
"Who in the crew knows how to play with a gun? Come forward!"
Yang Ye always brings a martial artist with him when filming. Most of these martial arts masters have undergone shooting training and have no problem playing with guns. They raised their hands one after another.
Furthermore, there have been several bodyguards around Yang Ye for a long time. The strength of these bodyguards is no different from killing chickens in terms of killing those who took advantage of the riot to buy for zero yuan.
Wu Jing also raised his hand: "Me! Me! Me!"
Yang Ye glanced at War Wolf and said to himself, you are the most active in doing this kind of thing.
He actually didn't want Wu Jing to get involved because he was younger.
"This is not a joke. I want to kill people. Do you dare to kill someone?"
Wu Jing replied neatly: "I dare!" (End of Chapter)
