Wholly nasty compared to my wonderful 2yrs in Manhattan Beach,
LA county 1972-1972
LA Times: 8,000 Anti-Trump Protesters March in Los Angeles.

An estimated 8,000 people marched in what the Los Angeles Times characterized as “emotional” but peaceful protest against the election of President-elect Donald J. Trump after several nights of violent leftist protests across the country.

Though described as peaceful, at least one picture was posted online of a sign at the Los Angeles protest that read, “This Machine Kills Fascists.”

Marchers were monitored by “large numbers of police officers” according to the Times. Protesters chanted, “Not my president.” The Times recalled similar protests against congressional action on illegal immigration policy in 2006, which sparked some 500,000 people to march on the streets of downtown Los Angeles. California has some of the most liberal policies on illegal immigration in the nation.

Around 2:30 p.m. on Saturday, KTLA reporter Steve Kuzj posted to Twitter:

Kuzj posted the following video of the protest to Facebook. About a minute and a half into the video, a black Trump supporter identifying himself as Gerald Pitts speaks with Kuzj. The Trump supporter is holding a Trump face mask in his hand and says of the protesters, “I think they are wasting taxpayers’ dollars. Look at all these police, look at all these resources that they’re wasting.” The Trump supporter goes on to allege that there are protesters upset that Trump will enforce immigration laws and “their checks gettin’ cut off,” a likely reference to entitlement programs. “He gonna secure the border, he gonna to do what he said we’d do around the world with China and everybody and America is gonna be a greater country,” the man said.

Pitts went on to tell Kuzj, “These are the same anarchists that did McArthur Park and sued our police department against illegal immigration. So America, don’t bite on what you seen. God bless you.”

As the video continues, some protesters are seen carrying Mexican flags. A couple of young men speak with Kuzj with faces covered from the camera, and some chants are heard of “Si se puede.”
