A business council member says the looting during protests in downtown L.A. Friday would disproportionately hurt the working class and people of color.
Most stores that were vandalized or looted are mom-and-pop stores, “immigrant-owned, run by black and brown folks,” Oliveira said.The chain stores that were damaged, including Walgreens and Fallas Paredes, provide jobs, sell affordable goods and serve as lifelines for poor and homeless residents of downtown, Oliveira said.
The cafe is in the first floor of the Hotel Hayward, a single resident occupancy hotel for low-income residents, Oliveira said. The store has been in downtown for 65 years, and he’s owned it for 16, said the owner, who would give only his first name, Roger. He said he understood why people were angry, but that the destruction to his business could devastate him financially. His shop was just preparing to reopen after being closed for two months during the coronavirus stay-at-home orders.Inside Discount Electronics, owner Bill Nabati rubbed his face and fielded multiple calls from his security alarm company.
