The Wi Spa in Koreatown, Los Angeles has, in the last month, turned into a lightning rod for political violence, anti-transgender extremism, and, now, police brutality.
Over the weekend, the unassuming spa in downtown LA was the backdrop to yet another round of clashes between far-right activists, bolstered by a group of suspected Proud Boy associates, and counterprotesters, including many black-clad antifascists. Video showed opposing sides brawling, and police firing less-lethal rounds at close-range into left-wing activists.
I don't think that's a hard concept to understand.
