Over the last few days riots have broken out all over the United States in response to the death of George Floyd, and former WWE ring announcer Lilian Garcia recently posted a video of a protest outside her home in Los Angeles along with the following caption calling for a peaceful protest:
“Los Angeles PROTEST Happening outside my home in Los Angeles! I hope it all stays peaceful. Violence never solves anything! 🙏🏼. #blacklivesmatter #peacefulprotest #georgefloyd #justice #equality #equalityforall”
Lilian Garcia then followed up with another post which featured pictures of the destruction from the riots, and she condemned the looting and vandalism when she posted the following:
“Yesterday I was supporting the protest to say that change had to take place and I understood the pain some of my friends were experiencing from the George Floyd death, BUT looting and vandalism is NOT the answer!!! Especially businesses that had NOTHING to do with Floyd’s death. They were already having a hard time due to the pandemic and now don’t even have businesses to come back to because someone felt like their agenda was more important. HATE NEVER REPAIRS HATE!! And putting a blanket statement that all cops are bad is NOT true and NOT productive. We NEED police officers or there wouldn’t be any order in this world. And I TRULY believe there are some good cops that REALLY want to be of service. I will ALWAYS choose to spread light in this world! That is the ONLY way to make REAL change. I hope you will be just as sad today to see what the negative actions of some have caused and choose to turn your hate and anger into something productive by spreading love. This could sound corny to some but I don’t care. It IS the ONLY way to truly make change! ❤️🤍. Know that I LOVE you my #lilarmy ! 🙏🏼 #blacklivesmatter #georgefloyd #love #lariots #bethechange #spreadlove #hateneverwins #losangeles”
The posts have made Lilian Garcia a hot topic on social media, as the riots are obviously a very sensitive issue right now, and some people have reacted by posting negative comments about the former WWE ring announcer.
