Who Was Protesting at Irvine Mayor's Residence?




On the morning of May 28, protesters descended upon the apartment complex where Irvine, California mayor Christina Shea resides. The protesters were demanding free rent, free houses, free utilities, and free God knows what else. Not only did Mayor Shea have to bear the noise and traffic, but her  neighbors as well.

The video indicates that the protesters had some connection to the local university, UC Irvine. Note that two persons are wearing lime green caps. Those are very likely the caps of the Marxist National Lawyers Guild (NLG) . I have seen them on several prior occasions at UC Irvine when the Muslim Student Union and Students for Justice in Palestine were holding protests as well as disrupting pro-Israel events. The NLG was founded in the 1930s as a legal arm of the Communist Party USA. In the below May 2017 video of a MSU-SJP disruption at UC Irvine, you can see a female in the lime green cap acting as a legal observer on behalf of the group. Earlier in the week, I spoke with that same young lady. You can view that video here.

As I have previously reported, the NLG has an affiliation with UC Irvine Law School, as it does with numerous other law schools at universities around the country.  The UCI Law School was founded in 2007 with liberal law professor Erwin Chemerinsky as its first dean. (He now plies his trade as dean at the UC Berkeley Law School.) Irvine's current Congressional representative is Katie Porter (D), who previously was a UCI law professor before being elected, thanks to the questionable practice of ballot harvesting.

Here are two videos taken from Mayor Shea's balcony (Hat tip Mark Newgent).
