It’s FAFO in DTLA.
An anti-ICE agitator trying to block an SUV from exiting the federal complex in downtown Los Angeles on Friday night took a ride on the vehicle’s hood during another night of aggressive protests at the site.
Video captured the unidentified woman standing in front of the car and pressing her hands on its hood as the driver tried to leave the Roybal Federal Building late Friday night, ABC 7 reported.
Other protesters can be seen hurling objects at the vehicle.
As the driver begins to turn, the woman refuses to get out of the way and begins backpedaling while remaining its path.
The protester eventually appears to hop onto the car’s hood at it carries her a short distance before she falls to the street.
She appeared uninjured and returned to the protest after peeling off the car, ABC 7 reported.
Several commenters on social media said that the protester got what she deserved.
“My mother taught me not to play in the street,” one wrote.
“I understand hood ornaments are making a comeback,” another added.
“Hope the SUV is ok,” a third chimed in.
The protest outside the federal building marked the latest in a string of violent anti demonstrations at the location.
In late January, hundreds of unruly rioters descended on the federal complex, blocking a loading dock and throwing items at officers in a hostile standoff with authorities.
