Filipino Man stenciling on his own property in the US reported to cops by LAFACE CEO.
A Filipino man in the United States stenciling “Black Lives Matter” on his own property was reported to the cops by a white woman who turned out to be the CEO of LAFACE, according to reports.
This, as James Juanillo used chalk in order to stencil the “Black Lives Matter” sign on the retaining wall outside his property when a white woman, who introduced herself as Lisa, talked to him. James then recorded the encounter on video and then posted it on his Twitter account.
Since Juanillo’s video went viral, netizens identified the white woman as Lisa Alexander, the chief executive officer (CEO) of the skincare company LAFACE. Lisa was with a man when she talked to James in the Pacific Heights neighborhood in San Francisco, California.
In addition, the man in the said video was identified by a Twitter user as Robert Larkins, the managing director at Raymond James.
Lisa and Robert told James that he’s doing “something illegal” since it was on private property. James responded that they didn’t even know if he lived there or if it was his private property.
Alexander then said that they do know the person who lived in a private property. James then told Lisa and Robert that they call the police if they wanted to.
A white couple call the police on me, a person of color, for stencilling a #BLM chalk message on my own front retaining wall. “Karen” lies and says she knows that I don’t live in my own house, because she knows the person who lives here. #blacklivesmatter pic.twitter.com/rOpHvKVwgP
