May Day Protests To ‘Reopen America’ Take Place In Huntington Beach, Downtown LA

An organization called We Have Rights is in downtown Los Angeles and Huntington Beach, where beaches were closed by order of Gov. Gavin Newsom after large crowds descended last weekend.

In Huntington Beach, the demonstrators were shoulder-to-shoulder with beachgoers defying the beach closure orders. Several people were spotted riding bicycles and carrying surfboards to the water in defiance of the governor’s orders.

“I’m here because I want our salon open,” said protestor Tami Avants. “I think everybody is essential.”

An estimated 2,500 to 3,000 people were just feet from the shores, calling for the governor to end shutdown orders.

“The lockdown needs to stop,” said Cypress resident Robin Itzler. “We need to open up the economy. You can’t have a country of everybody hiding at home.”

In downtown Los Angeles, protesters from the same movement called for a walking protest and to gridlock the streets in and around Los Angeles City Hall.

“We can take other precautions,” said Eric Rodriquez, who joined the protest downtown. “But to shut it down? It’s a little too extreme.”

One of the main issues for the protestors was the loss of jobs since nonessential businesses were forced to close.

Yes I know who he is, but it would take a lot more than just him.

Will he run for Governor?

Jeb! Bush. It looks like everyone has forgotten about him because he is truly useless. There were a lot of GOPe on this forum in 2015 and 2016 that loved him.

And where was it that locals started gathering together to meet Antifa in the street and punch them in their depraved, degenerate neo-Marxist mouths.

No one at Huntington

Maybe a few more folks at Newport. Wish someone would snatch that orange netting down.

BTW, good on you for showing up yesterday at HB. Wish I could have been there with y’all. Spent 3 weeks in Cali last fall - Sequoia, Yosemite, Big Sur, Hwy 1, Disneyland, Diego, etc. Some of the most breathtaking scenery on Planet Earth. Ya just gotta overlook the politics.

We coming back in May next year.

Sheesh, the first time I was in Destin (in 1958?) it was snowing.It was a sleepy little fishing village. Good and cheap seafood right on the beach. I was on my way to Tyndall AFB in Panama City. I still had hair.

I don’t remember any Antifa gatherings in CA. Perhaps LA or SF? I definitely know that they have done major damage to Portland and Seattle, Baltimore, NY, etc. All liberal strongholds, where it is 98% liberal.

Yes, I believe so. I think that they are the southernmost LA beach city, which is just above Huntington Beach, which is in Orange County.

Of course, but I meant “aside from tiny little oases of ‘real people’”. Usually I’m pretty verbally acute, but other times, things just don’t come out the way I mean them to. LOL, sorry about that! :-)

The fat-belly CHP weenies don’t have the manpower to stop a million good Californian citizens from partying on the street. This is despite the fact that our resident FR surrender monkey Soros trolls insist that everyone will die if you resist.

Woody Allen, the pedophile socialist leftist? That's who you use to defend you asinine hatred of ALL Californians? As if there aren't psycho socialists and illegals in every friggin state of the union!

Which perfect state do you live in? Wait I know the state of denial. You need some help to deal with your California anger issues

This pandemic has no age limit time to wise up OH WAIT California. What the hell is that even supposed to mean?

What is your take on the protests against the fascism going on in other states? Or do you even know about them? Wait I already know your answer CALIFORNIA As Trump would say 'So Sad!'
