I was a little kid when this happened. I remember seeing news footage of niggers running out of an electronics store carrying TVs, back when electronics stores were still a thing and TVs were expensive bricks. And I remember seeing chinamen talking on walkie talkie's on top of buildings.

I respect rooftop Koreans. They are not chinamen.

When I was a little kid, I thought they were chinamen. Agreed, the rooftop koreans deserve respect for defending property against rioting niggers.

I don't want to reveal my age on the internet, but certain things stuck in my memory. For example, I remember asking my parents if Saddam Hussein was just one person, because I couldn't understand how one person could be talked about that much on TV. I also remember Ross Perot because my neighbor's dad really liked him. I remember niggers with TVs because I'd never seen a nigger before. I remember chinamen with walkie talkies because I wanted a walkie talkie.

I think my age range guesss about right. I feel old bc I was a young man at that point. It was an interesting time. Fee months later Pat Buchanan would make his infamous address to the GOP. Few listened.

There were the people of Hayfork, the tiny town up in California’s Trinity Alps, a town that is now under a sentence of death because a federal judge has set aside nine million acres for the habitat of the spotted owl, forgetting about the habitat of the men and women who live and work in Hayfork. And there were the brave people of Koreatown who took the worst of those LA riots, but still live the family values we treasure, and who still deeply believe in the American dream.

Friends, in those wonderful 25 weeks of our campaign, the saddest days were the days of that riot in LA, the worst riot in American history. But out of that awful tragedy can come a message of hope.

Hours after that riot ended, I went down to the Army compound in South Los Angeles, where I met the troopers of the 18th Cavalry who had come to save the city of Los Angeles. An officer of the 18th Cav said, “Mr. Buchanan, I want you to talk to a couple of our troopers.” And I went over and I met these young fellows. They couldn’t have been 20-years-old. And they recounted their story.

They had come into Los Angeles late in the evening of the second day, and the rioting was still going on. And two of them walked up a dark street, where the mob had burned and looted every single building on the block but one, a convalescent home for the aged. And the mob was headed in, to ransack and loot the apartments of the terrified old men and women inside. The troopers came up the street, M-16s at the ready. And the mob threatened and cursed, but the mob retreated because it had met the one thing that could stop it: force, rooted in justice, and backed by moral courage.

Greater love than this hath no man than that he lay down his life for his friend. Here were 19-year-old boys ready to lay down their lives to stop a mob from molesting old people they did not even know. And as those boys took back the streets of Los Angeles, block by block, my friends, we must take back our cities, and take back our culture, and take back our country.

Yup, few listened.
