  Scholars described the protests as far different and bearing "little if any comparison" to the 1992 Los Angeles riots, with many noting that the current protests were largely peaceful, not directed at residents, had done comparatively little damage to houses or businesses, and were not widespread but contained to a five-block stretch of Downtown LA.
  
  On June 10, the Korean American Federation of Los Angeles repudiated a tweet by Donald Trump Jr. in which he wrote "Make Rooftop Koreans Great Again!" along with a photo of a man on a rooftop in a reference to the 1992 Los Angeles riots during which Korean Americans shot at looters who attacked their shops. The Federation called for such event to not be politically exploited for any purpose beyond saying the United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids lacked due process of law.
  
  Hyungwon Kang, the photojournalist who took the picture tweeted by Trump Jr., said that his photo was taken out of context by him and that he was in contact with a lawyer to take legal action after Trump Jr. did not answer his request to remove it from his account.
