…and if you are not familiar with where the press conference was held (Japanese American National Museum) - it’s the “Japan Town” of LA. Incredibly amazing Japanese community with amazing food, shopping, and art.
To send in federal agents to that area is nothing more than intimidation. This area is so calm and quiet, pissed off for my neighbors.
I’ll leave with this though. Little Tokyo in LA is what I credit as being the birth of the LA punk scene. Little Tokyo business owners embraced the counter culture youth and gave them a safe space to perform and hang out.
You cannot intimidate punks. Punks hate nothing more than bullies.
