KK: Yes, there were. There were fights going on and people getting beat up and -- between the "yes-yes" and "no-no" people.

AI: And so people were accusing each other of things.

KK: Yeah, right. In fact, I hate to say it, but I remember they beat up some JACL members and they, the JACL, some of the head were hiding out in the hospital. Somewhere.

KK: Yeah. They were afraid to get killed.

AI: So at that point some people really blamed the JACL --

AI: -- for the tension and the disturbance.

KK: Right, yeah.
