Yesterday, despite a snow storm, the Hoods of Pittsburgh, protested a pizza shop because an employee assulted a woman because she didn't move fast enough. He banged her head off the floor despite the fact that she did not put her hands on him. Someone captured it on camera and it went viral. The Hood reacted quickly and a boycott was organized online. The Justice for Jade movement was born.
Pittsburgh Post Gazette and WPXI were the main two that covered the story here is the link.http://www.post-gazette.com/local/city/2018/01/13/Pittsburgh-investigating-beating-in-Uptown-s-Pizza-Milano-restaurant/stories/201801130083
The woman was trespassing but she asked to use the rest room but it was for paying customers so she brought a drink but he still told her no. He then became aggressive and started pushing her. She told him to stop pushing her. He got mad and attacked her he head butted her and slammed her head off the floor instead of calling the police. The police station is about a minute away. He kept saying Why you no listen to me and I say please the employees had to separate but he went outside and continued the assult.
The Hood is used to this treatment by foreigners, he was middle Eastern. In the 90s it was Koreans coming into our Hoods and treating us bad. They often assaulted us and sometimes we were even killed. Regardless of what things wlives we do not deserve to lose our lives and we deserve respect.
The hood protested outside of the building and ended up closing it down. It was so epic that a business with a similar name had to take out an ad saying they were not the same people. Finally the Pittsburgh Police issued a warrant for his arrest and he turned himself in. She was also charged with Trespassing and he with Simple and Aggravated assult.
It was a successful and non violent protest. This should inspire us to protest the murders every day in the Communities and become involved. We need to protect equally the abuse and murder from others and from our neighborhood. Our lives matter no matter who harms us.
