FULL STORY:Yong Sin Kim, an 85-year-old Korean immigrant, pauses for photos in his apartment in downtown Los Angeles, Thursday, March 25, 2021. Kim said he rarely leaves home these days. When he does, he carries a whistle with him, his only defense against random attacks targeting the defenseless. "We don't go out at all. We stay home all day as if we are locked up," said Kim. "I can't even think of going for a walk." Photo: Jae C. Hong / AP
Anyone got any background on this? VERY UN-American (USA), in my experience.
