Merry Christmas, Los Angeles! You Get the Gift of What You Voted For – Opinion

By Pluralist / December 24, 2021

Residents of Los Angeles who voted for the recall of Gavin Newsom and voted in George Gascon yesterday were rudely awakened. You see, they think that Hair Gel’s and Gascon’s policies were meant to help the unwashed masses. It would not have anything to do with them. It’s not their fault, after all.

The elites thought that these horrible policies they voted for wouldn’t affect them. It’s now their fault. They’re getting the results they want, and it’s hard work.

Rodeo Drive was closed for two hours Thursday night, to the sounds of drums, songs and rain pouring through the streets.

The demonstration, dubbed “Smash White Capitalism and Grab Justice,” was organized by Black Lives Matter Los Angeles and kicked off at Beverly Gardens Park at 4 p.m. The organizers stated that the demonstration was intended to comment on capitalism’s historical links with violence against people of color.

“Today is a smash and grab. It is a different kind of smash and grab — don’t nobody go and grab Gucci purses, ok? We’re grabbing justice and we are smashing white capitalism. We are smashing and grabbing in the name of our people — we know that every year, the reason we do this is because our people are killed by white capitalism,” said Melina Abdullah, co-founder of the Black Lives Matter Los Angeles chapter.

Starting around 5:20 p.m., the group made their way down Rodeo Drive led by a car playing music with an emcee leading chants like “Black lives, we matter,” “whose streets? our streets” and “what do we want? Justice! Where can we get it? Now!” The event happened during a very rare Los Angeles downpour.

Looks like your Gucci shopping experience was just ended.

Some commenters on the post resented Moriarty’s use of “rioters” and “terrorizing.” But let’s be honest: who wants their Christmas shopping disrupted by fractured carols and social justice mantras? None that I’m aware.

For two hours, around 60 people made their way toward Wilshire Boulevard, stopping in stores to sing Christmas Carols with a twist; the songs had titles like “Deck the Streets,” “Hark the Fighting People Sing” and “Trump’s Nuts Roasting on an Open Fire.” After a couple stops, stores began locking the carolers out.

They thought that the Trump rallies in 2020 were terrible. Well, here’s what is taking its place.

“We know white capitalism utilizes police violence to steal the lives of our people so that they can make a profit. So every year we celebrate Black Xmas to disrupt white supremacist patriarchal heteronormative capitalism,” Abdullah said.

Giovanni Trejo (public information officer at the Beverly Hills Police Department) stated that Beverly Hills police had been aware of the protest for several days. Private security was also present to assist police in monitoring the protest from far away. Trejo informed the Patch on Thursday that the department welcomed lawful, constitutionally-protected protests.

However, these BLMers had the intention of trespassing onto private property and disrupting businesses. Can’t wait to see the lawsuits that spring from this. This or the high-end retail stores will decide to vote for them. With the flight of businesses and people out of L.A., Rodeo Drive will become Rodeo Road before you can say, “U-Haul.”

Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti, who was seen kneeling on the streets in 2020 with rioters and defunding the police budget to Beverly Hills begs BLM to stop allowing them to enter their homes, is a ridiculous display.

Put your faith in the wind and reap the harvest. BLM won’t stop till it gets its pound. And once they get that pound, they’ll demand a short ton.

Christmas cheer!
