When people first protested two days ago, Weird Wave Coffee called LAPD. Context, cops killed a 14-year-old up the street a few months ago.
One of the protestors explains why they're here today in the very hot sun.pic.twitter.com/4rI3dmthbW
I remember the restaurant that used to be here. It was an Afro-Mexican spot. Delicious. They had to vacate when the rent went up.pic.twitter.com/pZtehEAbRD
Protestors will be at Weird Wave, at 2415 Chávez in Boyle Heights, tomorrow at 8a. Neighborhood women will be giving away free coffee.pic.twitter.com/pPsQjDOMBQ
A counter protester was briefly across the street and left his sign on the street. A passerby picked it up and ripped it in half.pic.twitter.com/63kbT1lO2L
It's 90° out and protestors are standing under the burning sun. Clearly dedicated in their action against Weird Wave Coffee.
Protestors come and go, but always a steady group. So do police cars; they've driven by twice in half and hour.... sometimes buzz the siren.
An ongoing tactic against gentrification in Boyle Heights. A community that really looks nothing like Weird Wave. Here's a mural steps away.pic.twitter.com/tEiEILtkgg
One of the guys out there (protestor) said it's not about race, so why bring up that they're white?
Because it WAS about race until she found out the financier was from el salvador.
Yeah, it has been. . . Idk why they keep making up excuses saying that it isn't.
Because they thought they had a ready made anti white privilege rally going but, #fail
"All the people running this shop are hella black though" See how racist that sounds??
@fufabunny for your daily dose of 2017 enjoyment
Debunking "white priveledge " one stupid stunt at a time
Yes, the u.n. is set to criminalize cultural appropriation, so no Starbucks for anyone not white. Cause it started in seattle, sorry
Super happy I have family from N England right now, DADDY GETS TO KEEP HIS SCOTCH!
