The L.A. Times reports on Comrade Melina Abdullah :
“We want to go to places of white affluence so that the pain and outrage that we feel can be put right in their faces,” said Melina Abdullah, one of the leaders of Black Lives Matter.
The group wanted to bring its rage over the Floyd case and so many others to L.A.'s elites, in their own neighborhoods. Its officials said their goal was not to cause looting but to send a message. The impact of that decision became clear Saturday, when images of police cars on fire next to CBS Television City and looting at the Grove shopping mall were broadcast on live television.
Abdullah said this strategy of protesting in affluent communities was adopted early on.
If you respect property rights: Comrade Abdullah isn't who you want to teach your children.
