Civil War Erupts in Beverly Hills

Posted Nov 21st 2008 3:00AM by TMZ Staff

A trial starts today in a battle between the classes -- the classes being the rich and the much richer.


The battleground is one of the most exclusive areas of Bev Hills, called Beverly Park, which is divided into Northern and Southern parts. The South Beverly Park Homeowners Association is suing the North BPHA -- the posher part where Barry Bonds, Rod Stewart, Sly Stallone and Denzel Washington reside -- because the hired help and others for the Southern masters have been blocked from entering on the North side.

Housekeepers and gardeners have been forced to take a seven-mile detour to enter on the South.

The judge is expected to instruct the jury, "Four score and seven years ago...."

1. USA is a class-ist society. KATRINA showed that = black, white. or hispanic - those who died or suffered were POOR.
But, the majority of voters recently agreed - TIME TO TAX THE RICH.
Next = tax churches, esp. those that "tell" their sheep how to vote.

2. Screw the help. They can swim back to Mexico.
Besides, if they don't like the accommodations... don't make the reservations.
The North Side stars have earned a right to privacy.
If the help don't like it, tough luck.

3. I am a wealthy Persian man married to one of the most beautiful Mexican women. We reside in Beverly Hills. Our neighbors are of different races. There are many different kinds of wealthy people so dont tell people to go back to their country so quickly because they are minoritys, They may have more money than you will ever dream! In fact the wealthiest person in Beverly Hills is of Arab decent.

6. All the help would be coming from the south side, and interfering on busy streets blowing their blowers all over the Mercedes, and making it impossible to get out of the neighborhood, and drive down the road.

14. Isn't there a war going on? Isn't the top US auto makers about to dump thousands of workers into the unemployment lines? Isn't that the sound of the US economy being flushed down the toilet? Isn't that the sound of gunshots being fired in our children's schools? Isn't that the quiet sound of our empty or near empy wallets and purses? Isn't that the sound of total mayhem and misery? Isn't that the sound of wealthy and spoiled celebrities crying about the minimum wage hired help causing major traffic jams in Beverly Hills? Isn't that the sound...
