We have all heard tales of victimized business owners in California who get no support from lawmakers and law enforcement is effectively restrained from protecting citizens. One shopkeeper seemingly had enough in Los Angeles.
Never mess with Korean shopkeepers in Los Angeles. They know what’s up. pic.twitter.com/13a3XXRj5T

This is one of those 'mess around and find out' instances and this did not go well for the alleged criminals.
Koreans don't play! https://t.co/erZGS8fHFu

Clearly, these young thieves do not remember the 90s.
He apparently isn’t old enough to remember the early 90’s.

He'll come back armed next time. Was he even arrested?
— MoronicHeadline (@MoronicHeadline) December 31, 2023
That is a distinct possibility, but he will probably find the shopkeeper is equally armed.
Never mess with anyone

That is an excellent policy.
That’s not just a win for Korean shop owners it’s a win for the American dream!

What a great take! It is not about a specific ethnicity. it is about people defending their businesses they worked hard to build.
Hard to run with your pants around your knees. Gotta forego the fashion when you be thieven.

No one ever said criminals were smart.
That’s embarrassing. Butt all out

This video takes 'showing your butt' to a whole new level.
Congrats, thief. Your cheeks just got put on display for the whole world to see.

Was it worth it for that bag of chips?
It really depends on the flavor. People will do some crazy things for a hot Cheeto or a sour cream and onion Pringle.
Did people forget where the term Rooftop Koreans came from?

Same people who defended their businesses during Rodney King riots in the 90’s

These young people clearly have not studied history enough.

He’s got some cheek

Actually two of them! Snort!
I’m sure cops are on their way…to arrest the shop owners

Since we are talking about California, it's a real possibility. After that, Gavin Newsom will do a press conference decrying the store owner for not allowing the people to steal from him.
I wish every single store in USA 🇺🇸 do that and don’t call cops anymore 💥🔫💀

In some parts of the United States, criminals already fear a shop owner may be armed, and the local laws allow them to protect their property. This is only a problem when the laws don't allow for protection of property. Good on this owner for taking his own protection into his own hands.
