New Jersey State Police Detective David Smith presented at the public hearing
portions of security videotape showing a karaoke bar and restaurant in Flushing, New
York, operated by a Korean businessman. Individuals associated with Korean Power, a
gang with a strong base in the Palisades Park and Fort Lee areas of northern New Jersey,
had extorted the business to purchase liquor through the gang at inflated prices, such as
$130 for a cheap bottle of scotch. Because of financial losses, the owner told his
manager to tell the gang members that he would no longer buy liquor from the gang.
The January 2001 videotape showed five gang members beating the manager senseless over the course of many minutes while they tried to force him to reveal how to contact the owner. The beating occurred just inside the main entrance and outside on the sidewalk in full view of more than 20 patrons and any passersby. A couple of employees and a patron who tried to intervene were themselves beaten and kicked. Nonetheless, no one called the police, and the gang members did not even seem concerned about watching the crowd to make sure no one tried to contact law enforcement authorities. Detective Smith testified that the manager never did give up the location of the owner, despite almost losing an eye, suffering a fractured skull and being “beaten to about one inch of his own life.” He related that the only reason the incident came to the attention of the authorities (no one called the police after the thugs departed) was that the owner’s attorney, a former federal public defender, notified law enforcement. Detective Smith testified that the gang members, ranging in age from 17 to 19, were prosecuted. Four were sentenced to seven years in prison, and the leader was sentenced to 15 years.
