The co-founder of Pinkberry frozen yogurt attacked a homeless man with a tire iron after the panhandler flashed a sexually provocative tattoo in his direction, Los Angeles police said Tuesday.
Lee and the other man chased and beat the homeless man, according to witnesses. The homeless man required hospitalization with a broken left forearm and cuts on his head.

Why is this on archinect??
Maybe he is Bruce Lees Distant Cousin.
he is an ex-architect.
To tie this to another thread.... the explanation is simple enough. Lee here went into architecture school with high expectations. Upon graduation reality check thus disillusion (read long hours, low wages) hit in hard, and an uncompromising Lee quit (as everybody should) to use his creative skills towards a better business model, namely selling overpriced, over-sweetened cold dairy to foolish teens. No wonder his nerves are wrecked.
I too wonder why this is posted on archinect. It's a bit too gossipy, but since it already is, here's my two cents. Coming up with the inspiration for pretty colored walls and a few modern light fixtures and chairs does not an architect make. As far as I can tell, this guy had personal issues long before he thought he was a great designer. An entrepreneur yes, an architect, no!
Also, let's refrain from making juvenile racist generalizations.
hey Snook, word of advice...
if you're going to choose the path of ignorance and racism do it right...Bruce Lee was born in Hong Kong, which makes him a Cantonese Chinese...Young Lee is of Korean descent...get yo facts straight foo!
The only thing more annoying than a bigot is a stupid bigot....oh snap hold on, aren't all bigots stupid...
1dviantC....You are just to damn concerned about finger pointing....I was just looking at the name Lee....It was a Joke....I guess I should have said..."Maybe He is Chuck Norris's Distant Cousin."...
Oh ya and inregards to Bigots...For the Fucking RECORD, I'm not a BIGOT! I FRICKING HATE FINGER WAGGING PEOPLE. If you want to read about bigots, go follow Orhan's Post.
He is of Korean descent, but still looks like Bruce Lee.
that guy looks more like an alcoholic fucked up korean bully who should and will get his ass kicked really bad once in jail. it's a small world, the word will telegraph inside the slammer and they're gonna make him lick yogurt from the floor.
and the dviant one, you couldn't pick the wrongest person to call bigot. i hope you don't go to brazilian jail for this "lee yogurt" guy.. snook is connected to some precision sharpie forklift operators there.;.)
im surprised how quickly this became a thing about race. is it something about asians in LA, or koreans that people have a problem with?
if this guy was white, black, latino, or maybe even turkish i dont think it would have been brought up. strange how racial and reverse sensitivity has shifted. i mean orhan you would never say "alcoholic fucked up black bully" or "white bully" right? it's okay, i'm not offended, honestly racism to me is more comic relief than anything, but having read many of your articles and also have heard your critiques at schools, i thought if perhaps we can discuss what this is really about. btw, i thought turks loved koreans, enough to fight in the korean war and give me free apple tea anywhere i went in turkey if i just told them i was korean. (never say you're from the u.s... lol)
and honestly, because he's so damn rich after selling pinkberry to starbucks, no ones going to mess with him in jail. he just needs to worry about who he has to pay off for protection. if he goes to LA county, it'll be the asians + africanamericans since they stick together to fend off the outnumbering latino population.
in the end, beating a homeless guy is wrong. but i've experienced many times where homeless people give me bs for not giving money and my nonasian friends would be shocked because i would be singled out as the slanty eye guy out of a group of round eyes. haha. i dont think we're hearing the whole story, after all 2 sentences/quotes can't explain a whole story. ever get spat on by a crackhead in the middle of columbia univ campus? yeap. thats just a sprinkle on a sundae of what i've experienced. or trying growing up as the only korean in a inner city school. you get forced to fight in the pe locker room cause everyone thinks you are "Ryu" or "bruce lee".
just saying.
one fucked up alcoholic turk and one fucked up alcoholic korean go to a fucked up white redneck bar with their fucked up alcoholic black guy friend... a fucked up mexican alcoholic guy joins them.... fucked up bar's fucked up german bartender, an illegal alien, asks..."you guys wanna get fucked up?
you also misconstructed the story. turks like americans too. in fact turkey was the 6 th. friendliest country towards foreigners this year's travel magazine results. my uncle fought in korea. many hundreds of turkish kids died there for south korean independence.. but this is about yogurt goddammit.... lol.
I Hope it is not about Greek Yougart made in Washington State or Ice Cream made in New Jersey.
OBTW: I saw that Chuck Norris is falling in line with, " Newt for President." Might be swaying in that direction... an free wheeling, open marriage kind of guy heading the country who is a Historian for Fannie Mae. There is something that sounds just a little nasty about Newt being a Historian for Fannie Mae.
happy new year to all my friends who are into dragons. go get shitface now!
şerefe!!
