‘Hate Crime’ Charges Filed After Racist Attack Against Larry Elder
By Gwendolyn Sims
On Friday, two California councilwomen filed a complaint with the LAPD over alleged “hate crimes” committed by protestors. On Wednesday, the women, Latina Soledad Ursua and Chie Lunn, were walking with California gubernatorial recall candidate Larry Elder as he toured a Venice Beach homeless encampment when a white woman wearing a pink-haired gorilla mask hurled both eggs and racial slurs at the group.
As a self made Latina, whose grandparents met picking fruit–it was my great honor today to walk @larryelder through my neighborhood of Venice Beach. The racist slurs, eggs thrown and violent attacks made on us disgust me. Vote YES to recall @GavinNewsom
Vamos por Larry Elder!! https://t.co/iueotvTrWr
