A 13-year-old boy was arrested during a PETA protest at a Starbucks store in Orange County.
PETA claims the boy and his family were part of a group peacefully protesting the coffee chain over extra charges for vegan milk options.
The store's management and Orange County Sheriff's deputies ordered the protesters to leave, but the teen reportedly refused to do so.
Video released by PETA shows the teen appearing to throw something at a deputy as he was taken into custody. Cameras captured him being shoved onto a table and handcuffed.
The boy is now charged with battery on a law enforcement officer. His mother and her boyfriend are facing misdemeanor trespassing charges.

If he wants to be authentic, he can always have his coffee black.
Family of winners right there.
I suppose buying their burned coffee elsewhere was out of the question?
WTH does PETA have to do with upcharge for vegan milk options? Sounds like they were just looking to start trouble
If vegans are against eating anything associated with animals, then why do they want to pretend they are eating animals?
They were and they found it. Wait until that little shit head gets about 3 years older. People living in that area had better prepare for him and his scumbag parents. if he lives to see 21 I will be surprised.
Let me guess: virtue signaling white lefties ashamed of their skin color and privilege.
So they are upset that cows can make milk cheaper than oats and almonds can?
First World problems.
Open your own damn coffee stand or your own vegan milk factory. Leftists (aka, communists) understand nothing about economics and the costs of production, supply, demand, etc. Kind of like FJB.
In fact, why wasn’t FJB there protesting that they now get 1.8 ounces of vegan milk rather than 2.0 ounces and the price didn’t go down?
The entire incident is explained in those five words.
His Mom and her boyfriend.
You misspelled whiners.
Commit a felony assault on a police officer over the upcharge on vegan milk (not really milk) options?
Nah...don’t think I’ll be participating in that little scheme.
I have two vegan neighbors, a man and a woman, not related. They are both OK up to a point but wimp out if I need any help, which I did when I broke my leg. The man was nicer than the woman who simply couldn’t be bothered.
Normal neighbors did a ton of stuff for me. Now that I’m OK, I’m making nice dinners for them. A real friend is a friend, no matter what.
What is a vegan milk option?
Why would a 13 yo care about the price?
Coffee was an adult drink when I was a kid...
The obvious solution is to raise the price on all coffee to match the vegan option price.
What isn’t overpriced at Starsucks?
“The obvious solution is to raise the price on all coffee to match the vegan option price.”
The obvious solution is to herd all vegans into re-education camps. Bacon for breakfast every day.
Why don’t these sick idiots protest women who breast feed? The 13 year old’s parents are ruining his chance at a decent life with their own illness...
Me too.
