Demonstrators had peacefully marched across downtown from a church to the statehouse Sunday afternoon. Then, a smaller group circled back to try and block off some downtown exits to Interstate 10. Law enforcement eventually squashed that effort, pushing the crowd back onto Batiste's quiet residential street and away from the highway, in part with armored vehicles.
Batiste estimates around 100 people took to her lawn and porch when law enforcement officers charged onto her property in riot gear. The demonstrators thought being on private property might keep them from being arrested. They were wrong.
...
During the confrontation,Batiste's porch was damaged. She rents the house and her landlord, Johnny Palazzotto, isn't very happy about the damage. He came by the house on Monday to inspect the property.
He said the protesters are to blame for the damage to his house, not the police. He plans to pick up a copy of the police report on their arrests -- which will include the names of protesters taken into custody who were on his property -- when it is made public in a couple of weeks. He found out about the demonstration on his property when WBRZ contacted him for an interview Sunday night.
"I don't think there is any such thing as a peaceful protest anymore," said Palazzotto. "You can't bring that many people together and not have problems."

Sue BLM for damages.
Sue them and BLM for all you can get.
sue them persoanlly
I was in Boston when a group of morons blocked a thruway- they handcuffed their hands inside specially designed 50 gallon drums, and poured cement in them. They were wearing dipaers.
If it was up to me I would have just pushed them to the side of the road and let them deal with it themselves.
But in the meantime- traffic was stopped for 3 hours, I missed my flight and had to pay a $150 fee for a new flight, which I could not get until the next day due to cascading delays and other people needing flights. I had to spenf $200 on a hotel that night, and lost $450 days pay the next day.
These ‘tards cost me almost $1000 and if I lived in Boston I would have started a lawsuit and gotten a bunch of other people to join in and bankrupt these F***ers.
AND find out who financed it and go after those deaper pockets.
Especially a bunch of thugs like BLM.
He should send Rocco and Nunzio around to collect...capise??
“The demonstrators thought being on private property might keep them from being arrested.”
These are the people who want to take over the country?
Sometimes I read a story of the latest uprising and all I can do is laugh at the irony.
“You can’t bring that many people together and not have problems”
Then why the hell isn’t the MSM covering and reporting all the riots and criminality at every baseball, football, soccer and basketball game.
Crowds into the multi-thousands and nary a peep out of the Media on the disasterous behavior of the fans. Shameful.
Ha...ha...haaaaaaaaa!!!
I wonder if the taxpayers who will be stuck for the damages, were even in agreement with the demonstrators?
It doesn’t matter, though.
It’s all a dress rehearsal for the RNC convention in Cleveland.
Believe me on that.
Taxpayers (no matter what their ‘politics’) will be stuck with the tab for security, clean-up and damages!!!
THEN the self-same taxpayers will scream themselves red in the face because the Republicans are greedy and uncaring!!
I saw this movie BEFORE, I have the script in my back pocket!
Our MSM is SO dumb (complicit, more like) that they can’t see and articulate something as simple as this!
Mark me-NO mention will be made about the cost to taxpayers for the damages, etc.!!
Maybe because your average sports fan is better behaved when they are drunk and stoned than your average BLM protester is when they are sober?
People are getting fed up.
Legitimate protest should be protected, thuggery masquerading as protest should be shot like a rabid dog.
Tea party rallies I attended in DC and Jersey had zero problems, and the grounds were as clean after as before.
But then Tea Partiers as a whole are human beings.
What that makes BLMers is open to public opinion..
