Just get some footage of the LA riots and show how most of the neighborhood was looted and destroyed and how Reginald Denny was almost killed while the cops kept out of the area. Then show how the Korean store owners used their “assault” weapons to keep the same thing from happening to them and their neighborhood.
That way you wouldn’t have the high cost of filming anything or actors and such, and you would just have to use stock news footage at a very low cost and editing costs and it would be totally real, relevant, and (I believe) would drive home the point more than anything.
Good idea. Hope someone with the ability to do so is reading this.
