A co-founder of the Pinkberry frozen yogurt franchise has been arrested and is accused of beating a homeless man with a tire iron near downtown Los Angeles, authorities said Tuesday. Young Lee, 47, is charged with one felony count of assault with a deadly weapon, with a special allegation that the assault caused great bodily injury, the Los Angeles County District Attorney's office said. The homeless man suffered a broken arm and several cuts to his head. If found guilty, Lee, who was convicted of possession of a controlled substance and carrying a loaded firearm in 2001 faces up to seven years in prison. He was released on $60,000 bail, the district attorney's office said. |

The fact that he is a co-founder of a company is irrelevant. Anyone toting a loaded gun and drugs who thrashes someone with a tire iron is a scumbag (not even a co-scumbag). If he is a 'respectable member of the community' and can afford high priced lawyers it should be irrelevant. How would this story go if a homeless man with a gun and drugs beat the stuffing out of Young Lee with a tire iron? Would it be headlines, would the outcome be different?
