No this is some morons hate of a pro-trump immigrant, not the left.
Let’s not pretend this idiot is some how a representative of the entire left
The Boyle Heights Chamber of Commerce, which had invited Shalom to join and was slated to attend the grand opening, terminated his membership days before the confrontation. In a letter from chamber president Jennifer Lahoda, she mentions a photo shared by Shalom on his Facebook page reading, “I wish Democrats would fight as hard for Americans, as they do for illegals.”
Lahoda said the views expressed “are not in line with the values and objectives of the Boyle Heights Chamber of Commerce.”
“Boyle Heights thrives because of our diverse immigrant population — The Chamber will always celebrate and support this fact. We will not support anyone who chooses to conduct themselves in a hateful manner, especially toward members of our community.”

What really gets me is the local Chamber of Commerce action:

Nevermind treating THAT member of the community in a hateful manner.
Wow. Just wow.
God help us if these nut bags gain actual power.

That's a real 'diverse' community.
I am trying to figure out if it's just Trump or he's Jewish.

The real question is whether they represent the average leftist. Because if they do, we are headed towards a very dark place in America.
“It was very scary,” said Shalom’s daughter Yael. “There was a lot of people protesting outside wearing masks […] and they threw a significant amount of feces at our windows.”

Yep! Tuff times ahead for all of us, if a certain groups thinks because of their political beliefs violence and this type of behavior should be normalized.
DBH was accused of using similarly aggressive tactics against another coffeeshop in the area last year and against an art gallery nearby that eventually shuttered
