"Landlords entering the party were greeted with shouts of “Parasite!” and “Get a job!”"
Some good news for today.

Chants of “See our might, see our power, landlords get no happy hour” ... “Parasite!” and “Get a job!”
Love it!
About an hour into the rally, the picketers entered the venue ... Witnesses said a male attendee of the BPOA event [landlord] then slapped a female TANC member [protester] in the face and pushed her.
Thuggish landlords throwing their weight around? I'm shocked. Interestingly, police who were monitoring refused to enter the venue.
No one's profits are more important than anyone's right to shelter. While there'll never be justice in a world with landlords, at least there can be some nice music:
Good. The petite bourgeois need to remember that they are part of the problem.
More importantly, they need to know that they only live as long as people don't turn against them.
Petit bourgeois.
It's all French anyway. I prefer to avoid using the academic terms when possible in first place, but there really isn't a replacement I can use in English
Little snobs? Shit head minority? Something like that comes to mind
Do you mean a room full of narcissistic people couldn’t get along?
I'm curious, are you calling all three groups narcissists?
Outside the pub, tenant advocates were having conversations with passerby who disagreed with the protest. “Wouldn’t it be bad if we were celebrating landlords losing their homes?” one protester (left) said.
what a strange thing to say outside an event where landlords are celebrating being able to evict people again.
edit: i misread the article when i made this comment
Well that's the point. It'd be bad to celebrate other human beings losing their homes.
That's why they're protesting outside the landlord celebration of people losing their homes again.
Would rather know which properties these people own and work full time to ensure they are empty at all costs.
Local clerk of court website can help you with this.
If you can get their names, you can know the property they personally own.
And if they're big enough to have a corporate name on the deed, then they will probably be registered with your secretary of state or whichever department handles business filings.
She said she then stepped out to request the presence of the police, who had been observing the protest, but they refused to enter the pub.
Interesting... police refused to step in at the request of the landlords.
Not long now until we're eating the rich. I can't wait!
I wondered about the wisdom of having a high profile landlord party in Berkeley, of all places. Not sure if they could have chosen a much worse place.
Berkeley may well be the worst place ever to have a landlord party. Read the room.
