COLUMBIA, S.C. (WIS) - Friday two protests happened at the State House where demonstrators showed their support for reopening South Carolina’s economy.
At noon, a group called Drive to Thrive asked the community to join in on a mobile protest against the ongoing closures of some non-essential businesses in our state. Their goal was to fill the streets of Columbia with at least 50,000 vehicles.
Demonstrators were encouraged to stay inside their cars, and show an audible display of solidarity by honking their car horns for a full 60 seconds at 12:30 p.m.
They’re also asking participants to support local restaurants and order a meal, to-go, on the way home.
**SNIP**
Friday’s protests come one day after the state’s first Accelerate SC Task Force meeting.
This task force is made up of leaders from various industries across the state, and serves as an advisory team as state leaders work to reopen South Carolina’s economy.
During Friday’s meeting, Gov. Henry McMaster said, “Everyone wants to get back to work, but nobody wants to have anybody else get sick. We have to be very careful and so that’s what we’re going to attempt to do – step by step, probably be little steps, not rush into. We’re not going to move until we have good reason to move based on the science, the data and all the information.”

I saw this on the Freedom Action Network on Facebook. It was a beautiful thing!! Then someone posted that Gov. McNasty had extended the lockdown for two more weeks. Seems every governor does this after a protest.
Actually I just read that McMaster said he’s extending it. Maybe not enough protesters?
I drove by there at lunch time. Looks like a good time was had by all!
Is it possible to recall the governor?
“Everyone wants to get back to work, but nobody wants to have anybody else get sick.”
Pick one, gov. Hint: same mortality rate as the flu of 2017/2018.
So, how many actually showed up?
So it accomplished two more weeks of lockdown. Spectacular.
Go Back,,,
I guess he didn’t
Hear the Horns.
How about I eventually go protest because these people shouldn’t be causing us all to be cut off. I mean really>
That’s a bumper sticker, not a logical or rational leadership position. I thought this was about preventing an overload at hospitals. Get your state back to work, people are their best when they are contributing.
I was on the job in another county.
Missed it.
No, I believe the mayors, hospital administrators,and big industrial CEO's in the state declared mutiny. Why give up authoritay? Why give up probable federal bailouts by going back to work?
Or maybe he’s doing the Whitmer technique - punishing people for protesting.
‘two more weeks’ - kind of like the Nazis punishing the freedom fighters’ families when they dared to defy Hitler. Hmm. Very tack for those who work for We the People. “That’ll show them.” Oh yeh?? Let’s show them back.
I posted photos on another thread, but here are some more:
