Democrat California Governor Gavin Newsom reversed course on closing playgrounds because of the coronavirus after citizens and even his left-wing colleagues and supporters called foul on depriving children of the opportunity to play outdoors.

As Breitbart News reported, state lawmakers and at least one doctor spoke out against the closures.

They did the same thing in a park in my area back in March when this lockdown crap started. I went for a walk at night and ripped off the tape.

Gruesome deserves more than just a “backlash”.....just sayin’

[bboop]

If ‘science is real’ (which I do not believe), then how can playgrounds be dangerous one day and safe the next? Proving once again that these things are arbitrary.

Open Up folks - and let’s toss the Diktator Out.

Death to the middle class...

All hail the new super-state of Soviet America.

Surfdom rules!

If this was so quickly reversed, why did NumNuts enact it in the first place - other than blind stupidity and caprice?

Wouldn't it be nice to see some of them same people call foul on depriving children of their right to life.

I know, I am a dreamer.

Can you think of a better way to destroy half the value of commercial property so you and your banker friends can buy it or foreclose on it for next to nothing??? This is the Long Game we are playing. It should take about 10 years for the investment to start paying dividends and in 20 there will be NO Commercial Property owned by Individuals, Big Corps only mostly Banks

[drypowder]

So much for any possibility of just a smidgin of Newsom having any credibility

[1Old Pro]

These Dem Governors have gone totally berserk.

[Seruzawa]

So, if there’s enough backlash then the danger that prompted the closure magically disappears? Either it’s right to close the playgrounds or it’s not. Weasel politicians.

[cymbeline]

“but we must continue to kill small businesses”

Very, very bad.

[EC Washington]

Backlash against Kammy Harris’s Boyfriend? No way.

[glennaro]

Excellent!

[olivia3boys]

The dog park in my area was reopened MONTHS before the playground next to it reopened. Shows the priorities of CA. Dogs over children. It’s not even close, actually.

Dog groomers are “essential businesses.” Not schools. Or even human haircuts.

You are a saint

[genghis]

Excellent point

The same way that this idiot can spout “science” to enforce NO get togethers and to always wear a mask...and then have an indoor dinner party for 22 people and no one wearing a mask. Ahhh. Selective science for the magic virus.
