This is an elote cart similar to the one that was tipped over. Lots of people don't know that they're often handbuilt and irreplaceable.pic.twitter.com/jtBi2s8lf5
Alex Ramirez says the police were called today and refused to arrest the man who tipped over his son's cart because that man speaks English.
These kids from the neighborhood love Alex and his son. They're sad about what happened and want to support the both of them.pic.twitter.com/7E2adhdQox
You can catch more about this story, including a lot that hasn't yet been reported, on my FB; I did a live interview with translation.
Los Angeles doesn't issue permits for people like the Ramirez father and son. When violent altercations take place, they're doubly at risk.
Street food vendors in LA keep us fed, but aggressive individuals as well as an oppressive system keep street food vendors vulnerable.
One last note: would be impossible for me to report this with live video if I didn't speak Spanish. We're all bilingual reporters here.
Hire bilingual latina reporters in LA. We tell twice the story, twice as fast, but are sorely underrepresented in media.
i don't have fb, but want to watch your interview. can you pls share the link?
