Eoin Richard, who rode along with Jake Lang’s racist protest outside the BET Awards this past weekend, put out a call on Instagram for people to show up today at the Kenneth Hahn Administration Building in Downtown LA to protest the certification of LA’s election results.

Eoin Richard, who is in the last photograph in this set wearing a Proud Boy mask on 06/06/26 outside the Metro Detention Center alongside J6er John Mellis, who is wearing a Right Wing Death Squad hat, was the only one to show up at his rally.

He had several photographers with him, including a woman who identified herself as “White House Press,” while on the other side stood numerous counterprotesters showed up to ensure that every person nearby knew that the person — Eoin Richard — was trying to stop the election results from being certified, and that none of his friends or followers had bothered to show up.

At one point, Eoin Richard — who was the one to post that faked video of a fake homeless encampment at Nithya Raman’s house — claimed he “wasn’t MAGA.” Instead, he said, he’s an “objective journalist.”

I asked him whether I had indeed taken a photo of him at the MDC in DTLA in a Proud Boy mask, and he said, “He gave me that mask to wear!” I said, “So you put on the Proud Boy mask?” And he said, “How was I supposed to know?”

I know I’m there all the time, but I coincidentally just so happened to be walking past the Metro Detention Center this morning and saw LAPD arrest a man.

The Citizen App said the LAPD had just arrested a man with a gun, with shots reportedly fired…

…I saw three LAPD cars, total, as opposed to the dozens who usually show up when the anti-🧊 protesters are too loud and Homeland Security gets annoyed. Wild!

Half an hour later in a different part of DTLA, I saw a naked bike ride go past, happy and laughing, so I’m not sure how I feel about KTLA saying the two people who were shot were part of the naked bike ride…? I feel like a mass shooting at the naked bike ride would be a mood-killer…?

Today’s vigil — which happens each Tuesday at noon at the Federal Building in DTLA — was led by LGBTQ+ clergy for Pride Month.

Groups included CLUE Justice, CHIRLA, LA VOICE, Sacred Resistance, and more.

David Beckham’s Walk of Fame Ceremony today featured an appearance by Tom Cruise on Hollywood Blvd., just down the block from the Scientology Building.

As soon as Cruise emerged from Ovation Hollywood, protesters with megaphones began shouting “Tom Cruise is a Scientologist! Scientology is a cult!”

They were herded to the end of the block by a group of LAPD and cited for “Loud and raucous noise from amplifying device.”
