Protests banned at capitol, on state property in California
The Hill ^ | 04 22 2020 | Rebecca Klar

California’s Highway Patrol (CHP) said it will no longer grant permits for protests on state property, including the state Capitol, following demonstrations Monday against Gov. Gavin Newsom’s (D) stay-at-home order.

Officer John Ortega told The Hill Wednesday that effective immediately any permit request at state facilities, including the state Capitol, will be denied until public health officials determine it is safe to gather again.

The decision is in the interest of public safety and the health of Californians during the COVID-19 pandemic, he said.

The ban was first reported by The Sacramento Bee.

CHP said protesters on Monday did not comply with the state’s public health guidance put in place in response to the coronavirus pandemic.

“Permits are issued to provide safe environments for demonstrators to express their views. In this case, the permit for the convoy was issued with the understanding that the protest would be conducted in a manner consistent with the state’s public health guidance,” CHP said in a statement to the newspaper.

“That is not what occurred, and CHP will take this experience into account when considering permits for this or any other group,” CHP added.

Well it is a sub clause in the constitution that all rights are innate and God given until flu season.

Fox News is silencing their major opinion personalities who support citizen protests.

Can folks protest not being able to get a permit to protest? Or would they need a permit?

Now it seems that Public Health Officials - who are not elected by We the People, as I recall - are running things? Do they make laws? Can they enforce them? Can we break them?

We no longer consent.

It’s the “state capital” clause in the constitution.

Well some enterprising horde of rebels might consider blocking highway 80 and like the hippies do.

No protesting, eh?
It’s probably against the law to poop on the sidewalk too, so?
Then again, maybe that’s legal now.

California has been a Police State for quite a while now, why is everyone getting upset now? Isn’t this what they have been voting for the last 30 years??
