On this episode, Soju, John Chinaman, and podcast newcomer Hi-C talk to Jesse from Hevalti Tactical! Jesse makes innovative gear, shoots IDPA and USPSA competitively, and has a brown belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.   You may recognize Jesse’s gear from Tacticool Girlfriend and his Instagram. Jesse explains to us his minimalist design philosophy and the challenges in being a “leftist” gear maker. And right now, there’s a lot of challenges in starting a business making quality gear.   A conversation with Jesse wouldn’t be complete without discussing competitive shooting. Jesse’s excellent at it, but even for a newer shooter, hear him explain why it’s a good way to challenge yourself and hone your skills. If this sounds like it’s for you, Jesse tells you how to get involved.   The last of Jesse’s passions we discussed is his considerable experience in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. It’s an excellent way to stay fit and learn unarmed self defense skills. If you’re in Jesse’s area, don’t hesitate to reach out, because he’s itching to share knowledge.   And the most important lesson we learned in our conversation — let your own failures inspire you.

This week we have a very special episode. John Chinaman, Camila, and Snow interview the wonderful investigative reporter Cerise Castle about her work investigating gangs within the LA County Sheriff’s Department.   #GoogleLASDGangs. By this time, everyone has seen the hashtag. It was Cerise Castle’s tireless investigative journalism which bled the lid off deputy gangs within LASD.   Executioners. Vikings. Regulators. The names of these gangs are now infamous. You’ll hear from Cerise about how the investigation got started, what we know, and how much we still don’t know. What we do know is that the Department is infested with over a dozen gangs which hunt, kill, and abuse they people they’re supposed to protect. The problem goes all the way from deputies on the beat all the way to the highest levels within the department. The presence of these gangs and the violence they perpetrate seems like something out of a movie. But it’s happening now.   Any discussion on the Tiger Bloc Podcast wouldn’t be complete without finding out how people who live in LA County are working to end deputy gangs and how Cerise feels about guns

On this episode of the Tiger Bloc Podcast, Soju, Snow, and Camila are joined by a complete and an utter badass...THE Lady Feral herself, Alana McLaughlin! For those not in the know, Alana is the second ever openly transgender woman mixed martial arts fighter, who just made her professional debut on Combate Global. She is also a former US Army Special Forces Green Beret now turned leftist activist, currently doing community outreach work for not only trans but also marginalized communities in the Portland area.

Alana sits down with the YPT team to discuss her first professional fight, training in mixed martial arts, overcoming adversity as a transgender woman in combat sports, how her military background disillusioned her from American imperialism, and what leftists can do to support the trans community.

By the way, we just started our Patreon! If you would like to support YPT’s ongoing efforts in podcast, mutual aid, or other forms of content, consider subscribing to us. All proceeds go to covering costs of the podcast, the rest will go towards mutual aid organizations.

On this week’s episode of Yellow Peril Tactical: The Tiger Bloc Podcast, Soju Operator is once again joined by Snow and John Chinaman as they have a goofy but informative conversation with Odie, also known as, Not.yr.Boyfriend. Odie is a street medic, harm prevention activist, firearms instructor, content creator, and organizer based out of Minneapolis, Minnesota. Much of their work has been popularized through the Zines they’ve created that focus on mental health and relationship building as well as medical training.

Together, the YPT crew and Odie discuss on the ground community organizing, mental health considerations with firearms ownership, what the media refuses to cover about Minneapolis post-George Floyd, what community defense actually means, and stuff white people do.

Oh and if you live in Minneapolis, DO NOT RANK JACOB FREY. He’s an asshole and should not be mayor.

For those that do not already know, Yellow Peril Tactical is an Asian-American, armed leftist group dedicated to educating marginalized communities on the practice of firearms and self-defense. We are primarily a social media page that collaborates with various users to present the most up to date information that is easily accessible to leftists and oppressed groups.

In this episode, Yellow Peril Tactical contributors Soju Operator, Snow, and John Chinaman come together to discuss the origins and intent of YPT, how they became gun owners, the various challenges navigating the gun world as Asian-Americans and people of the LGBTQA community, as well as stupid trends among leftist gun owners that need to stop. Oh and we take shots at Lucas Botkin of T. Rex Arms because he’s garbage.
