Law enforcement officials had to respond to a large group of Black Lives Matters activists late on Friday night that stormed a Beverly Hills residential neighborhood chanting “Eat the rich!” and “Abolish capitalism now!”
The Beverly Hills Police Department tweeted: “The unlawful assembly in the area of Rexford Dr & Carmelita Ave has ended with arrests being made. Protesters have now left the City.”

Videos and photographs of the mob flooded social media as they shouted various messages throughout the residential neighborhood and tore down American flags.
Human Events Managing Editor Ian Miles Cheong compiled video highlights from the demonstrators on his Twitter account, noting that the group marched through residential neighborhoods in Beverly Hills shouting “Eat the rich1” and “Abolish capitalism now!” (posts below).
“The Black Lives Matter mob shut down Santa Monica Boulevard, Rodeo Drive, and intersections around the city center,” wrote Cheong. At one point the group “seized a privately owned American flag in a residential suburb, shredding it and pulling it down.” In the residential areas, video shows, the group played “loud music and blocked the streets.”
“The police showed up in full force to arrest members of the Black Lives Matter mob making a nuisance of themselves across residential Los Angeles streets,” Cheong captions one post with video of police arresting members of the group. “One pretended to be injured by the police and forced them to drag him.”

The City of Beverly Hills issued an order a couple of weeks ago that outlined new rules that it was implementing to keep things peaceful as violent riots have burned down buildings, attacked law enforcement, and looted businesses across the country in the weeks following the death of George Floyd.
“To preserve the peace and tranquility of residential neighborhoods, effective tonight and until further notice, no more than 10 people shall gather in an assembly in a public right of way in a residential area between the hours of 9 p.m. and 8 a.m.,” the City of Beverly Hills said in a statement. “An assembly is defined as any gathering or group of 10 or more people on a public street, sidewalk or other public place if those 10 people have a common purpose or goal.”
“Any assembly that is silent, such as a candlelight vigil, and gatherings on private property are exempt from this emergency order,” the city added.
The New York Times reported earlier this month that angry demonstrators have shown up in wealthy areas across the country in recent weeks, primarily in blue states.
Amen brother :)
I think over here a bunch of the guys would look forward to it.
Italians aren’t terribly patient people.
We’re not Italian, of course. We’re descendants.
And from what I understand men from Italy are pretty laid back.
Something must have changed them during the trip over here :)
It’s amzlazing, isn’t it? If I didn’t know better, I would say they were well funded and well organized. That couldn’t possibly happen in America could it? I didn’t think so. /S
Primarily blue states?
Lots of gun control there I suspect.
