Destruction in Koreatown

As I have been witnessing the most violent and destructive riot in recent history, I am very angered by how the media are covering issues of Koreatown and its victims. The depiction of armed business owners defending their stores was said to be “dangerous,” but the fact that they were the victims during this disaster is completely forgotten. Most important of all, where were law enforcement officers when looting and blazing fires spread across the city?

It leads me to believe that the justice system is only out to protect certain races, not all of them. Why were the media directing this disaster as “Koreans vs. blacks” issue when the real issues also lie with blacks vs. whites? I am ashamed at this “media circus” of races blaming other races for this mayhem.
