Why is no one reporting on the gerrymandering aspect? Forget the racism, they were discussing how to break up the city for the benefit of specific voting groups.
Look at that violent black individual. He acted like a pos then got treated like one.
"We were trying to start a fight with this guy and then he LITERALLY assaulted us!"
RENUNCIA KEVIN DE LEON, ESTAS ATORNILLADO EN TU CARGO, DE VERDAD QUE NO TE SIENTES AVERGONZADO DE TI MISMO??
So basically nobody on the left sees anything wrong with the protestor’s behavior? That right there was a penalty in football and a foul in basketball 100%, De Leon is in the right for sure.
Go protest the corrupt Compton city council
Go protest Mark Ridley Thomas and London Breed
It’s very obvious who DeLeon is
fuck this council mother fucker!! why the fuck hasn’t he gotten fired!! what the fuck !!
Tu carrera como político se acabo Kevin de León.😡😡
C'mon the dude straight up got up in the Council members face, which is already violating his personal boundary. Its obvious he was instigating a fight.
De Leon let his Los Angeles street roots out for a second and he manhandled that soyboy. Absolutely it was self defense.
De Leon is trash
Freaking protestor never do anything wrong! Lol!!!!
RACIST DE LEON 🤪
You can always tell the medias agenda based on how they film activists. For example if it is a leftwing activist group they always zoom in so you cant tell there is only 15 people there. If it is a right wing protest (rare) they zoom out making sure you know there are only 15 people there
How is this not kidnapping? When you prevent someone from leaving under their own free will what is that called? Kidnapping
way to talk right over the words the protester was saying.
The man was definitely defending himself from an organized group of thugs, that clearly assaulted him.
No one would have paid any attention to DeLeon or any of the councilmen but for their actions. Do or say inflammatory things then be prepared for the smoke and keep your head on a swivel.
NOT A DE LEON FAN …BUT DE LEON WAS DEFENDING HIMSELF 🤷🏻♀️
I don’t know this councilman from a hobo on the street, but the guy in the green jacket was clearly the aggressor. Put your arms up and body check someone? You’re not fooling anyone
Intimidating the Counsil man is the black way of doing everything in this country what's next another blm riot
The guy in the knit cap should be arrested. He instigated violence. The mob doesn't rule. His voters decide I'm beginning to think the target wasn't Nury. It was Kevin. Another thing who is behind the recording?
I'm no Democrat but it's obvious that this group intentionally tried to start a fight and capture it on video. This woman is obviously a big sreammy turd.
Cool!
Idk what Deleon did that makes people want him out but that mfer had his hands up smiling when that guy was literally pushing him into a corner with his chest. That alone is assault. You have free speech and the right to protest but doing what they did was just harassment.
I can’t stand Deleon but all
He did was defend himself
Dude with beanie was the starter of all of it , dudes probably all mentally fucked up
If I were there and the protesters head butted me, his friends and family would be able to visit him at the hospital during visiting hours. There is protesting and then there is assault. The first is legal, the latter is not.
Good for the councilman De Leon. Arrest the aggressor
It is LA, this is totally normal, and will not get better so get used it to it.
I heard someone farted and it all kicked off .
De Leon did what he had to do! Those protester need to get a real job instead of ganging up on people!
I would do the same thing if anyone gets that close to my face. Very disrespectful and unsafe.
2:49 A whole lot of projection there buddy 🤣
0:55 "essentially" 🤣🤣🤣 love when they try to lie but their subconscious wont let them
Oh the racist felt that he needed to defend himself. Resign
KDL is still talking with his clan about keeping Angelinos homeless once he's cleared.
Once corrupt always corrupt!
I saw KDL on video push the guy down and tackle him! The crowd was pushing the guy into KDL and KDL took him down hard!
ARREST KDL HE ASSAULTED THIS MAN
That was so NOT a head but. This council member needs to be arrested & charged
Just because this board is a failure, There’s ‘not ever’ any need for violence. Just don’t vote for them next time. I won’t. (Now, ‘Illegal immigrants that commit felonies in the county of Los Angeles will not be arrested.’ THAT IS THEIR ‘NEW LAW’ THAT THEY VOTED INTO LAW. – I’d like them to explain that! The mayor of Los Angeles and city Council members do not care about their citizens. That is blatantly obvious.
Anyone who thinks Kevin was defending himself are lying through their teeth!
This councilman is correct. Put those criminals in jail.
He needs to quit..the aggressive protest is not right..but de leon is a hippocrate and wants his pension
How about attacked by an activist……..
Of course as the aggressor is crying victim, they are unaware other cameras are showing him swinging punched prior to him with his hands in the air.
Reedy is a bully
Kevin De Leon is in the RIGHT, he should be able to defend himself
