Latasha Harlins is Killed (The Forgotten Spark That Lit The Rodney King Fire)

Quote:
Latasha Harlins was a 15-year-old African-American girl who was shot and killed by Soon Ja Du, a 51-year-old Korean store owner. Harlins was a student at Westchester High School in Los Angeles. Because Harlins' death came thirteen days after the videotaped beating of Rodney King and Du was fined, sentenced to probation and community service for her action, some sources cited the shooting as one of the causes of the 1992 Los Angeles riots.

The South Los Angeles store, Empire Liquor was normally staffed by Du's husband and son. However, on the morning of the shooting, Du was working behind the counter, and her husband was outside resting in the family's van.
Du observed Harlins putting a bottle of orange juice in her backpack. Police say that Du erroneously concluded Harlins was attempting to steal, evidently not seeing the money Harlins was holding. (The police reached this conclusion after speaking with the two eyewitnesses present and viewing the videotape of the incident, recorded by a store security camera.)[2][3] Du attempted to grab Harlins by the sweater and snatched her backpack. Harlins then struck Du with her fist three times, knocking Du to the ground. After Harlins backed away, Du then threw a stool at her. Harlins then picked up the orange juice that dropped during the scuffle, threw it on the counter and turned to leave. Du reached under the counter to retrieve a handgun, then fired at Harlins from behind at a distance of about three feet and shot her in the back of her head, killing her instantly. Du's husband, Billy Heung Ki Du, heard the shot and rushed into the store. After speaking to his wife, who asked for whereabouts of Harlins before fainting, he dialed 9-1-1 to report an alleged holdup. Harlins died with $2 in her left hand.
Du testified on her own behalf, stating that it was self-defense and that her life was in danger, but her words were contradicted by the statements of the two witnesses present at the time and the security camera footage, which showed her shooting Harlins in the back of the head as Harlins was attempting to leave the store. However, the Los Angeles police department ballistics expert report also found that the handgun Du used was altered in such a way that, compared to an ordinary handgun, much less pressure on the trigger was necessary to result in firing.
On November 15, 1991, the jury found Du guilty of voluntary manslaughter with a 16-year prison sentence recommendation, believing that Du's shooting was fully within her control and she fired the gun voluntarily. However, trial judge, Joyce Karlin, overturned the jury verdict of Voluntary Manslaughter. Judge Karlin ruled that the evidence merited the lesser crime of involuntary manslaughter.She reduced the sentence to probation of five years, four hundred hours of community service, and a $500 fine.

The incident and reduced sentencing by the court exacerbated already existing tensions between African-American residents and Asian-American merchants in South Central Los Angeles. Those tensions were later interpreted as being one of the catalysts of the 1992 Los Angeles riots as numerous Korean owned businesses were attacked.

On August 17, 1991, while Du was awaiting trial, a small incendiary fire occurred at her store.
During the 1992 riots, Du's store was burned, and it never re-opened.


Well I have broke down the death of Latasha Harlins for years, the cause, the aftermath, the social Black vs Korean ramifications, its role in the riots and the impact on the entire univerese

My conclusion? Soon Da Ju shot Harlins because they live in the biggest shit hole in the United States!

My mom and brother live in Carson/Torrence (below Compton) and I HATE going to her house to visit. I love my mom and bro but I always tell them to come up here

If I lived in South Central and owned a Liquor Store I will kill myself long before I ever dreamed of killing a customer because of how bad that place sucks

Du chose to kill a 15 year old who was trying to jack some Orange Juice instead of killing herself, I guess im a bit different then the Korean Liquor Store owner

What a joke to the world, when ever we hit the LA city limits sign I throw up in my mouth

Anyways here is the historic CCTV video from inside Empire Liquors on 3/16/1991

Re: Latasha Harlins is Killed (The Forgotten Spark That Lit The Rodney King Fire)

I lolz at the fucking stupidity of people...

When has stealing ever been enough to kill people? Especially an orange juice? The girl had money in her hand too for gods sake.

Whatever though...people will be fucking stupid people and the world will always be a shithole because of the collective actions of racist people being racist and "victims" leaning on their being victims as a source of strength.

Blacks need to unfuck themselves and quit falling into the sterotypes and shit that make them the race of people they are (ghetto ass gangstas...soooo damn cool right?)

And racist pricks need to quit being racist pricks.

/end rant

She accidentally pulled the trigger people. Yes this was a teenage girl but she is most likely bigger than that Korean lady and was hitting her up in her own store and trying to take the damn OJ. This black girl should have been with her parents, not stealing OJ.

Re: Latasha Harlins is Killed (The Forgotten Spark That Lit The Rodney King Fire)

Like I said before its justified just for the simple fact that she lives in Compton, or Watts, or Downey, or Crenshaw or any other of the 100s of pile of shit neighborhoods south of downtown

As soon as you move to this place even if you moved there on accident or god help you if you were born there then any type of shooting is justified in a Liquor Store
