1at 3 pm on April 29, 992, in Ventura county in south-central Los Angeles, blacks smashed cars everywhere and destroyed public facilities. There are black people's ruthless fists and cruel curses everywhere, passers-by are beaten for no reason, and the surrounding shops are violently robbed. At six o'clock in the afternoon, the riot continued to escalate, and the number of participants rose to one hundred thousand. Hispanics and whites take advantage of people's crisis to hit people, and they are crazy for zero yuan.
Destruction, violence, more and more cruel, more and more vicious, arson, robbery, shooting, everywhere. The whole city was ignited by a huge flame and completely turned into a shura hell. All these misfortunes were caused by an African-American named Rodney King.
1991On March 3rd, Rodney King, who just got out of prison, celebrated his "triumphant return". At home, I like to watch baseball games with some friends, drink wine and be free. After drinking three bottles of gin, regardless of their blushing faces and brisk steps, they offered to go for a ride anyway.
Somehow, three people, running all the way, actually drove the car to the highway. With a little drunkenness, the original speed limit of 85 kilometers was quickly driven by them to 185 kilometers. So, not long after, they were caught up by the shrill alarm, which is not surprising. But the three of them were really drunk and played racing games with the police.
For such stubborn people, the American police have long been used to it. They immediately informed other personnel on duty along the way to jointly intercept this arrogant car at the supply station and prepare to capture it at one fell swoop. When they saw that there was no choice but Rodney King, the two men in the car immediately bowed their heads and accepted the punishment they deserved.
However, Rodney King didn't know whether he was carried away by alcohol or confused by drugs. He stood there motionless. When the police tried to handcuff him, he knocked him down with his backhand. Now these policemen can't stand it. Immediately, the four of them threw themselves on the ground and vowed to push the villain to the ground.
However, the height of Rodney King 1.9 meters and the physique of 230 kg are not decoration. Coupled with the stimulation of alcohol, the four policemen not only failed to subdue him, but soon all hung on themselves. Faced with such a difficult opponent, they took out electric batons and batons and madly smashed Rodney King's legs, back and head. Rodney King gave them 56 sticks, and finally he couldn't stand it. He began to fall to the ground and beg for mercy, and the police officer put him in the police car smoothly.
I thought it would end like this. Unexpectedly, the picture of the police brutally beating the inferior was photographed by nearby resident George Halletti, who sold it to the local TV station for $500. In order to increase ratings and exposure, the TV station cut the original video of 8 1 s to 56 seconds, and all the pictures of Rodney King resisting arrest were deleted.
Revising the outflow of video adds another fire to the already extremely antagonistic racial conflict in the United States. Countless blacks took to the streets, blocked in front of the court, protested and demonstrated, and sought their opinions for the excessive law enforcement by the police and the harm suffered by their black compatriots. Tom bradley, then mayor of Los Angeles, was African-American. While appeasing the people, he also expressed his strong condemnation of the abuse of power by the police in his speech.
Under pressure from all sides, the official finally made a decision to prosecute the four policemen involved. As a victim, Rodney King, who was examined afterwards, was not seriously injured, but stepped on the whirlpool of public opinion, and even the lion opened his mouth and demanded compensation of $56 million. Whether the prosecution result and compensation are in place now seems to be the key to quell public anger. But then something happened, something that should have been improved, which complicated the situation, and even Koreans were involved in the conflict.
On March 6th, 2006, a bigger crisis was brewing in the peaceful South Korean city of Los Angeles. On this day, Dou, the owner of the convenience store, welcomed an uninvited guest. A black girl named Natasha accidentally walked into the shop, picked up a can of orange juice and put it in her clothes, trying to sneak it away.
But this scene was all seen by the proprietress Junko. She yelled at the woman who stole, asking her to put down her things or take money. However, this black girl seems to be used to arrogance. She felt no shame, but was angry that her shameful behavior was found. A punch hit her directly, and the boss's eyes were dizzy. And shouted at her crazily, saying some vulgar and obscene sentences.
Just as Natasha vented her anger and was about to turn away, the fallen Dou Shunza stood up, clutching her painful eyes, took out a pistol from nowhere and screamed for her to stop. Natasha turned her head and was directly held by Dou Shunzha. The bullet hit her forehead and died instantly. Maybe she never thought that she would die because of a can of orange juice.
After the incident, Dou also knew that things were getting worse, but she didn't have any fear and didn't want to escape. On the contrary, he surrendered to the police station very calmly and explained the incident to the police officer very frankly. During the trial, the jury believed that Dou was too defensive and should be sentenced to 6 years in prison. However, judging from people's reaction in an emergency, the presiding judge thought that Dou was self-defense, and finally changed his sentence to a fine of $500 and 300 hours of community service.
Such a judgment should be very reasonable according to American law. But in the eyes of African-Americans with little education, ignorance of law, simple mind and developed limbs, this is obviously biased towards Asian Koreans. So they surrounded the court building and protested. Some of them are very vicious, and they run to the shop owner and Dou's shop to destroy her, and even very arrogantly threaten her personal safety. Seeing that these black gangsters ignored the law so much, the American police immediately arrested the troublemakers.
After all, this is wrong for the black people, and they dare not do much in the future, but the seeds of hatred are quietly sprouting. If they fail, they will make a fuss about other things. So the Rodney case, which was silent a year ago, once again attracted the continuous attention of all black people in Los Angeles. These two incidents are like two fires, igniting all ethnic contradictions that have been suppressed for a long time.
For the Rodney case, the American police knew that they had done nothing wrong, but when the complete video was released, they had lost the guidance of public opinion and the commanding heights of morality and were completely controlled by others. If we can't handle the four policemen involved, the development of the situation will be beyond everyone's imagination if the two things add up now.
Therefore, in order to be fair and transparent, American officials have deliberately adopted the way of hearing in different places. The trial place of this case is Ventura County in south-central Los Angeles. I wonder if someone did it on purpose. In short, this place is very bad for black people. The neighboring area of Ventura County is Simi Valley, which is mainly white and extremely conservative. More importantly, none of the twelve members of the jury is black. The final result can be imagined.
On April 29th, 1992, the trial results were released, and all four policemen involved were acquitted. This case, which lasted for more than a year, ended up with such a result, which is unacceptable to anyone. Tom bradley, the black mayor of Los Angeles, shouted angrily: Friends, I just want to say no to such a jury. Our eyes will not deceive us. We see what we see.
This is hitting the floor, but on the wrong occasion, African-Americans who have long been carried away by hatred seem to have got the sword and can make a big noise without scruple.
1At six o'clock on April 29th, 992, countless Americans gathered at the corner of Florence and Normandy in south-central Los Angeles. For the unfair judgment of the American court, a crazy revenge was launched. They picked up daggers, baseball bats, crowbars, pistols and other weapons and forced passing vehicles to stop. As long as the person sitting in it is not black, he will pull it out and beat it up, take all the money and smash the car into powder. In just two hours, eight people died and more than a dozen people were seriously injured.
Late at night, the farce has no end. Instead, it used the cover of darkness to breed many evils again, and finally evolved into a crazy riot of up to 100 thousand people. More importantly, their revenge is no longer the previous skirmishes, but arson, robbery and shooting. Palm trees planted by the roadside were lit by them one by one, and the burning flame reflected the whole street as bright as day.
The surrounding shops seem to have become their playground at this time. Don't worry about zero yuan, don't worry about any restrictions. The shopkeepers or staff who stopped them were either killed or injured by them, or they were too scared to show up.
There are even dozens of black gangs trying to rush into the police station to grab guns. But American police won't spoil them. Kill a few gangsters, and the rest is gone. Seeing this hard bone, I had no choice but to extend the evil minions to residential areas, especially Koreatown.
When Koreatown residents turn to the American police for help, they are always "on the road". At this time, the American police can't even take care of ordinary white people, so don't expect to take care of these people abroad. All their police forces are used in the rich areas of Beverly Hills, because there are big people living there.
As a result, Korean-Americans who have not been helped for a long time began to save themselves. Their gun rate has reached as high as 70%, and with the guns and ammunition purchased urgently from other places, they can fight a small battle. At this critical moment, countless young people spontaneously organized into temporary self-defense forces, and two people waited for him. As soon as those black people who make trouble appear, they shoot at once.
While those crazy blacks were having fun, I don't know when I had organized a team to kill them one by one in this huge city of South Korea. But not to be outdone, the black man took up arms and killed him. However, this group of loose and unorganized followers is no match for that group of Korean-Americans who are well-trained and familiar with the terrain.
You know, in Korea, everyone does military service. Everyone knows guns and ammunition, which is better than toy guns. They ambushed on the roof, set up steel guns, and the blacks fell one by one. In the end, 44 blacks were killed, while only one person in Koreatown was missing.
This bad incident has attracted the attention of American high-level officials. On the third day of the riot, a team of 6,543,800+5,000 people, consisting of Federal Self-Defense Forces, US Police and FBI agents, marched into Los Angeles. And those black people who make trouble, like eagles catching chickens, have lost their original arrogance. With the help of the United States Federation, this incident can be easily solved. More than 65,438+00,000 people were arrested, including 33% blacks, 56% Latinos and 65,438+065,438+0% whites. It seems that many people fish in troubled waters.
The impact is extremely bad. * * * There were 3,600 arson incidents, and more than 1 0,000 buildings were burned, resulting in a loss of $654,380+0 billion. In Koreatown, except for hundreds of buildings that were initially burned down, there were no other major losses after organizing resistance. All their actions tell us that dignity is played out.
