He’s referring to the Rodney king riots.
During the Rodney king riots, one of the areas hardest hit was a large community of Korean Americans who were facing absolute poverty and homelessness due to the fallouts of those riots.
A number of Korean Americans armed themselves to protect their homes and businesses from the destruction. Famously, many of them took up positions on the roofs of their own properties. They became known as “roof Koreans” by common parlance.
Your cogent explanation matches The Chuck's post at maybe one point. I'll need a third opinion.
I remember the LA riots, they were horrifying. All the BLM-related riots did not add up to the destruction and death of the LA riots.
They were however long ago. It's a bit weak to extrapolate to future need (for citizen self defence) and particularly to confuse armed uprising, with small business persons defending their property.
