The Protester 2014

This guy was protesting against Donald Sterling being the owner of the LA Clippers, out front of the County Courthouse yesterday. He had a great sign and cool face mask made from a bandana.
Shot this image of him and noticed the US flag bandana had a "MADE IN CHINA" stamp on it.
Love the irony.

Chinatown Anti-Walmart Protest

Thousands of Angelenos protest against the new Walmart which is under construction in LA's Chinatown. Union members, activist, and residents of Chinatown don't want the new Walmart to be completed. Walmart has faced criticism for underpaying their workers, forcing many of them to file for food stamp assistance.
Local residents also fear Walmart may force small unique business owners to fold due to cut throat competition practices, resulting in a loss of cultural identity of LA's Chinatown.
Today marked the largest protest against any Walmart to date and was lead by Walmart employees.
