A protest group in a Los Angeles neighborhood allegedly threw a significant amount of feces at the windows of a coffee shop owned by an Israeli businessman.
They said that the cafe and its owner over his support of President Trump’s immigration policies.
“So what’s the connection? This is what I don’t understand. I’m confused—the connection between Donald Trump and good coffee,” Shalom told the network.
They called him “an anti-immigrant trump loving gentryfier,” adding that if “he hates immigrants so much, he can stay the [expletive] out of our hood.”
“They really intensely protested and accosted all the visitors that came to our grand opening event,” said son David of the incident. “It was very scary,” noted Shalom’s daughter Yael.
She said, “There was a lot of people protesting outside wearing masks […] and they threw a significant amount of feces at our windows.”
In a statement to CBS2, Shalom said he came to the United States 30 years ago and is now an American citizen. Meanwhile, his businesses employ dozens of people, including immigrants, he said.
