Manage episode 449571641 series 3609305
Sean discusses the Ash Street Shootout and how Army Staff Sergeant, Bill Foulk returned from deployment in 1989 to find his Tacoma, Washington neighborhood overrun by drug dealers and gang members. Foulk and his neighbors tried to work with the police and city council to address the issue, but they were met with inaction. Frustrated, Foulk installed a security camera and gathered evidence of the illegal activity.
On September 23rd, 1989, a block party was held in the neighborhood. Tensions rose as gang members brandished weapons and threatened Foulk. Foulk called in reinforcements from his Army Ranger buddies, and a barricade was set up.
