J23 Milk N Honey Protest (tags)
A small but vocal and lively group of 15 or so protestors picketed and marched out side of the Milk N Honey Restaurant (by the corner of Robertson and Pico) this Sunday. The demonstrators were out in force to protest the unfair labor practices of the owner of Milk N Honey. The demo started at 11:30, at which point the owners and friends Milk N Honey came out to the streets and started to harass the protestors, thouough intimidation and name calling. The owers also illegally parked their large-white Milk N Honey van's infront of the demonstration so the public could not see the protestors outside their establishment. The police were called to the scene about 30 mins after the protestors arrived on the scene. One of the protesters was struck in the face with her own video camera, when a supporter of Milk N Honey came out and struck her. The unidentified man was taken to jail for assault. The demostrators would "boo" when patrons broke the picket line and dined at Milk N Honey, and "cheered" when they were successfully able to help turn away patrons of Milk N Honey.
