The crowd outside Nini’s Deli was starting to thin Sunday afternoon as Justin Starns watched his friend add more spray paint to the plywood boarding up the restaurant: “BLM,” in all caps, in baby blue.
He was taken by surprise, he said, when a black woman walked up and demanded to know: “Oh, is that for me? Does my life matter?”
(snip) an unusual confrontation took place in West Town: Two black women, who only identified themselves as Bevelyn and Edmee, denounced the Black Lives Matter movement as demonic and fraudulent before a group of mostly white and Latino demonstrators.
And Bevelyn and Edmee, who said they traveled from out of town to support Nini’s, stayed in front of the restaurant for hours, separated from the crowd by a row of expressionless police officers in helmets and visors.
Bevelyn, shorter and energetic, kicked over cans of spray paint and tore off stickers from the plywood, denouncing abortion, Democrats and Black Lives Matter with equal fervor. When the crowd broke into a chant of “Sellout! Sellout!” she began to dance, a taunting look on her face.
Edmee, tall and statuesque, spoke in the commanding cadence of a veteran preacher.
“This is demonic!” she said. “You are being used and abused!”
“Jesus got betrayed by someone like you b------ over there!” someone from the crowd shot back, inspiring a chant of “Judas! Judas! Judas!” from the demonstrators.
When someone flicked water from a bottle at Bevelyn, the tensions escalated, and dozens of police officers lined up on Noble Street, two by two.
“This man’s business was beat to the ground in the name of Black Lives Matter,” Bevelyn told the Tribune in an interview conducted in shouts between the barrier of police officers. “This is evil. This is ungodly.”

"Bevelyn, right, and her friend Edmee, third from right."
It’s comical, White Privileged people destroying Black owned businesses to defend BLM, and Black people are telling the White people to stop protesting. Democrats are killing each other in the name of racism, as they promote their own bigotry and racism on each other.
It’s gonna be a long, hot weekend in Chicago.
L
Entitled white snowflake mostly peaceful rioters and looters destroying black neighborhoods in the name of anti-racism.
What could be more insane than that?
American lives matter. You must make your own life matter. The sum of that makes America what it is...and what it can be.
God bless them.
That takes real guts.
These women are also in other videos arguing with the protesters.
And another video shows them protesting in front of an abortion clinic.
These ladies were in Seattle CHAZ / CHOP arguing with protesters there VERY SMART ladies!! The 3 protesters they were preaching at were dead silent and just stood there and let her speak!!!
I see they were “speaking truth to glowers.”
