Little Village activists protest grand opening of neighborhood Starbucks

[@Omar-nd6lh]

Its a free market. If the local coffee shops are better then people will vote with their dollars and they’ll be fine.

[@RichardFranciskovich]

Mexican don't drink coffee 😂😂😂😂😂😊

1st of all little village was not Latin from the jump. I am sure progress is needed to start real investment.

This is so weird, if you don't like a store just don't go shopping there. This is a free market country, you are free to setup another coffee shop right next to the Starbucks.

What does community council member is suggesting is communism over capitalism suppression of choice because they don't like who owns the business that is communism if they would like that they need to move the Valenzuela

[@gman8591]

So this guy is trying to say that competition is not good and you can't open up a business if you wanted to?? Is he also saying that if you're not Mexican we don't want you? There are plenty of Mexican restaurants opening up in generally speaking white communities and people love it. As far as hiring practices go they can hire who they want.

[@cristianluna5568]

Wow such a big rally. Only two people. Yeah the neighborhood is definitely up in arms about this.

[@m.rodriguez6467]

This guy is like “we.” Who’s “WE?!”Looks like he’s the only one who showed up to protest. SIENTATE! Everyone has their Starbucks days and also their cafe de la hoya days! Not only will the residents love it, everyone visiting or working at 26 & California will give it lots of business!

[@drlove994]

Maybe it’s a great idea to go back to Mexico?

[@Q.....7080]

@drlove994. Maybe it’s Ia great idea to go back to Africa?

[@byrnc927]

I am sorry isn't protesting to keep out certain people from certain races like racist actions. Ok, if I said I don't want any more 🌮 in my neighborhood would be completely unacceptable.

Don't worry they'll be closing soon enough!😂

They're worried about getting pushed out. Oh well welcome get in line.

[@looneyrklkk1624]

Trust me they won’t the gangs control that area and if the gringos try moving in best believe they find a way to move them out

[@georgedmichalios828]

I mean it's only one coffee cafe and there's restaurant with a bakery and all of the sudden I think it help to create jobs. and these two protesters wanted to get rid of opportunity.

[@ryantinley81]

Then maybe they should tell all the TORTAS in the community to stop glorifying them.

[@ShinningALight]

Good for them!!! Everything he said is true. Investing in local businesses and community is key 🔑 imagine if the government saw this value and empowered these values rather than bending to the elites

[@ChiRat22]

The local Bakery probably wants Starbucks to put their Conchas on the Menu.

[@imperialmotoring3789]

That would be a great location for a new ICE Training and Detention center!
