This is getting crazy.
First Aaron Schlossberg, the lawyer seen in a now-viral video berating Spanish speakers in a NYC restaurant, was kicked out of his office space. Then he was chased all over the city by reporters. And now there’s a protest with a mariachi band underway outside of his home on the Upper West Side:

The band was paid for with money raised via GoFundMe:

NYC to Aaron's brand of racism:

At least the NYPD erected barricades to keep the protest on the other side of the street:
Every protest needs a Mariachi band! You have to love when New Yorkers pull together to tell this douchebag to move off of our island! Still no apology, so neighbors demand that he move out! #aaronschlossberg #racist #bigot #ignorance #sisepuede #onlyinnewyork #uws #solidarity pic.twitter.com/o9Onk6sgAI

There’s even a poster with Schlossberg’s face on a piñata:
People are holding a protest party and singing Spanish-language songs outside the apartment of Aaron Schlossberg — the NYC lawyer who harassed two restaurant workers for speaking Spanish.

Hopefully this ends the Schlossberg news cycle.
