Large crowd gathers outside woman\u2019s home for confronting street vendor TikTok: _raidertommy_, alannnn.__A massive group of people circled a woman\u2019s house demanding justice after she went viral for confronting a street vendor in Long Beach, California. On August 14, a video was uploaded to TikTok showing a woman arguing with a tamale vendor in Long Beach, California. The clip gathered over 2 million views in a single day as viewers were left outraged over her comments toward the vendor. She accused him of operating his business without a license, claiming he didn\u2019t pay taxes, and telling him, \u201cThis is not Mexico.\u201d The issue seems to have started after the vendor supposedly honked his horn outside her house, which the woman says caused her dogs to start barking uncontrollably, bothering her neighbors. \u201cWhen you\u2019re coming here to sell tamales, with no license, no permission, no nothing, stay on that side or that side,\u201d she told the vendor. \u201cI don\u2019t mind if you\u2019re there. Yes, it\u2019s a free street, but in order to do business, like a businessperson, you need a license, and you don\u2019t have one.\u201d \u201cSo do me a favor and honk on that side, like I\u2019ve told you before, or on that side, so that my dogs won\u2019t do this. When my dogs are doing this, they are bothering people. The sun shines for everyone, but that\u2019s why you pay interest, that\u2019s why you pay taxes, that\u2019s why you pay employees.\u201d \u201cYou don\u2019t pay taxes on what you make here, you don\u2019t pay what a businessperson has to pay. Be a businessman, pay the government what you have to pay. If you don\u2019t want to pay this government, go to Mexico and do what you want. This is not Mexico. This is the United States.\u201d Protesters gather outside woman\u2019s home over comments made toward street vendor Viewers were so outraged over the situation that a huge group of protestors figured out the woman\u2019s location. They then gathered outside her home later that day, demanding that she issue an apology for her remarks. After \u201can hour\u201d of protesting, the woman finally came out into her yard to address the situation. She was even handed a megaphone to speak over the crowd due to the sheer volume of their cries. According to a protester who was present at the demonstration, \u201cdozens, if not hundreds,\u201d of people showed up to make their feelings known. \u201cAfter almost an hour of protesting and making noise in front of her home, she finally came out and showed her face,\u201d they wrote. \u201cEveryone gathered in front of the fence and said everything they had to say to her.\u201d This isn\u2019t the first time that TikTok has taken matters into its own hands. Earlier this month, a woman went viral after reporting a man for sniffing herself and other women while browsing at a Barnes and Noble store.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
