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.

Do you know where FR is based? Fresno CA.
Do you know who Devin Nunez is??? Where is he from??? Hmmm
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.
Isn’t Seal Beach in LA County?
...and choosing Mayday was a coincidence? Hardly coincidental.
Seal Beach is in Orange County—right on the border.
Just checked the cam. Looks like no one there.

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.
Lefty governors having a ball getting the chance to play little Hitlers.
Just Hollywod, not much more.
It takes huge balls to enforde the 2nd A.
That’s what concentration camps are for.
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! :-)
Storm the beaches!!...bring Mike & Brian!
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.
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!'
