Brooklyn-based BLM protesters heckled diners who were enjoying their meals at a restaurant recently.
The protesters started yelling ‘Get the f**k out of New York’ in a horrifying tone, giving diners an unexpected and sudden scare on Tuesday evening. Moreover, the incident took place just moments after the Derek Chauvin trial’s verdict was announced by the judge. The former cop from Minneapolis was declared guilty for all the charges against his name.
Without a doubt, the diners were bedazzled as they looked on, extremely heckled by some of the rioters who stood in the crowd. Morover, the incident took place via a ‘call and response’ tactic that many certainly didn’t see coming.
The leader of the gang appeared to be white, mentioned, ‘we certainly don’t want your f*cking money. We don’t want your f*cking taqueria… owned by f*cking white men.’
Demonstrations took place around the nation on Tuesday, right after the conviction of the former police officer Derek Chauvin, who was rapidly handcuffed and taken into a high-level and secure jail.
Post the guilty verdict in the trial, BLM protesters started marching throughout the state of New York, in particular New York City’s streets. And that’s when out of the blue, they opted to stop and hassle all of the diners seated at the Brooklyn restaurant.
Soon, video footage of the incident was captured and shared online, going viral in an instant. The specific area was identified as Maya Taqueria, located near Prospect Heights during the later hours of Tuesday.
Clearly, emotions were running at an all-time high, right after the verdict was announced of Derek Chauvin, regarding the death of George Floyd.
In one of the videos captured, a man leads a giant crowd of demonstrators, shouting slogans on the top of his lungs. Soon, he barges into a Brooklyn restaurant and boldly yells, ‘we don’t want you here. We don’t want you here.’
While the video focuses more on the protesters, some of the diners are also visible, calmly watching as the protests take place.
