The backstory is here, and has much, much more.
And the next time some mouth-breathing gun banner asks you why you need a 30 round magazine, tell them that the Rooftop Koreans had not just 30 round magazines, but (legal) full auto. The LA Riot was in 1992, only six years after the super-sketchy Hughes Amendment, approved by voice vote rather than roll call.

True, and it worked rather well then!
The roof top Koreans had the unofficial support of the local Police department. They did the minimum obedience to their Political Superiors ORDERS to keep both the Koreans and their "bosses" happy.
The will and the skill matter more than the weapon. A 7mm Mauser will do the job well enough.
That and the understanding your life will change forever. Why? go ask Rittenhouse.
Thier is more violence every weekend in major Democrat run cities than Rittenhouse's event. BUT the Powers that Be WANTED everybody to know a DIY against their "protected classes" would be harshly law fared.
Right now, every police officer is thinking how they are going to keep their pension and not get half of America angry at them.
As Ole Remus said, "Stay away from crowds".
Or some other soul said, "Stay away from stupid people doing stupid things".
Internet experts will not replace your support and income from doing what they think is best.
Hoo Ah.
That is 180° of wrong.
The RKs had no such unofficial support, and LAPD responded to them initially, and confiscated their arsenal, then left them to the tender mercies of the rioting mobs. That was the same LAPD that created, and then covered for, the initial Rodney King incident. Douchebadges through and through.
But being good rooftop Koreans, guys like Moon went home, got their second rifles, and returned to the roof to resume their vigil.
LAPD was too busy to return to them after that, and considering the RKs fired a number of rounds at the ground in front of multiple approaching mobs intent on looting and arson, dissuading them from further mischief, LAPD didn't want to go head to head with armed civilians with justification for deadly force, having by that point much bigger fish to fry.
The local cops here were a bunch of gutless neutered pussies, by official edict and personal spinelessness, and they were the reason for the riots in the first place - because of Rodney King - and for the riots growing exponentially by official malfeasance, malign intent, and general chickenshittery.
Those badge asshats are only legends in their own minds, and their reputation has never returned to what it was prior to Rodney King.
L.A. and the LAPD deserve each other, proven once again by events. The LAPD of Jack Webb's days are long gone, probably never to return.
Never forget Reginald Denny!
Aesop links might prove your point. Find time to post one please.
I noticed that the police could have hauled them in leaving their businesses and family's unprotected, but they were able to get their other weapons and continue the Famous Roof Top Koreans Meme.
Thus the "obeying orders, yet allowing continued defense" comment you replied to.
LINKS PLEASE.
You know like calling General Butler twice awarded Medal Of Honor Marine a "Shame" of the Corps like you did over at Bayou when you attacked my War is a Racket comment over there.
Links please.
BTW I noticed this morning's postings were about the Russians losing 1200 days and such.
How's the ER business with that little "Peaceful Protests" in your LA area doing? Must be boring if Ukraine is more important to post about?
Some good news about the LA situation from a Marine at the front might be interesting.
The L.A. Times archive and many others are operational for you. Do your own digging. Something is true even when it's news to you. Having lived here at the time, before, during, and after the incidents you expound upon with so little information, the truth on the ground was well-known to me, and to many, many other locals. LAPD's perfidy and utter uselessness in 1992 most of all.
Butler's life story is similarly available multiple places, looking no farther afield than even Wikipedia. His later life senility and embarrassingly prostitutional exploits in shilling for anarchists and isolationists is well-documented, and the entire reason the Corps lets his senior exploits fade from memory almost as quickly as his martial endeavors while serving have done. Look into why and when wearing the Marine uniform for political purposes was made not just a party foul, but a violation of public law, and get back to us. Once again, things that you are unaware of are nonetheless true, and it's not up to me to lead you by the nose to everything the internet has on offer, not least of which because you won't partake of it in the first place, nor change your tune no matter how far afield you stray from actual circumstances. Go research this, and tell us what you learn all by yourself (speaking loosely). And stop whinnying so hard when your own tactics are turned in your direction.
As for the abortive L.A. one-night postage stamp riot, it was a fart in a telephone booth, even in L.A., and affected business where I am some good distance away not a whit.
In point of fact, things were extremely slow and quiet all weekend, probably because the Usual Suspects were all up in L.A. getting a face full of rubber baton rounds, rather than here locally complaining of their usual malingerer's dozen of specious complaints. Our biggest customers, in fact, were the aftermath of drunk driving, not rioting of any type. Maybe our mestizo illegals are smarter than the recent Biden-era arrivals up in L.A., or perhaps Soros couldn't afford to sponsor riots in both locales, IDK, but the underlying reasons for thew widespread lack of interest hereabouts are a matter of complete indifference to me, much like the reason I haven't comment on what has been largely, throughout most of SoCal, a non-event. Much like the recent fires, that only affected people most people in CA would burn out of the state, given the opportunity. Karma is a bitch like that.
Nota bene there are no similar riots in any of 80 contiguous municipalities not called L.A., because they're not captured by The Diversity Narrative, and they respond to such nonsense with batons and shotguns, every time they happen. Which is why they don't. There's a lesson in there.
If your reading comprehension were as great as you think it was, instead of knowingly posting things that aren't so, you'd have noticed that I posted that the three-day Special Military Operation to conquer Ukraine has now crossed beyond 1200 days, not that "Russia has been losing for every single day", despite them moving their goalposts times beyond counting since the outset, and yet still achieving not a single stated goal from that day to this. But the sum of those days' efforts has them losing now, beyond any rational disputation. Which explains your pushback rather succinctly.
And last I looked, Marines at the front aren't Navy SEALs, so you'll probably have to wait some years to hear from them about how things are going, but the utter boredom of most reporting since their deployment, and the dearth of any further arson and looting pretty well sums up how little eagerness there is by anyone there to confront them and test their mettle.
Which has been the hallmark outcome of sending in the Marines for only about 250 years, and largely explains why presidents do it, time and again, in preference to any other option.
