Wow, video at the link really gives the context.

I don't think this was all Trumpers, but Gym Rats and Volleyball nuts and all kinds of folks.

I’m in their group. It’s definitely a mixed bag but mostly trending conservative (for California) which means they love to party and surf and they all have good jobs and they are solid citizens. It’s been forever since such people got out and protested. It’s good to see!

"Give me liberty or give me a 0.2% chance of death!"

Someone said, I don't know who, that Americans "would rather die on their feet than live on their knees".

Love it. Loving American Citizens (and some illegals) calling out Newsom for shuttering the economy.

You can have your own chance of death but you can't choose it for someone else.

Sure you stay the fuck home then and everyone else who doesn't want to take any risk. You have a choice, those losing their livelihood don't.

Political censorship on local blog. Email notification included anti Newsom and crooked politics comments, removed when you go to the actual blog.

Hospitalizations are trending down and I will bet is is the virus running its course more than th 'safety measures'.

What's fucked up still no services for regular people. Fuck Gavin and the leftoids. I mean you're paying taxes and a bunch of monthly fees for health, education, childcare, etc. and those are basically on hold while you keep paying. People should stop paying their bills until they get the services connected to those bills. SF still has Tennis courts locked - people will have to climb the fences and fight the leftoid city tyrants.

If everyone just trespasses everywhere at once the cops will be overwhelmed.

So cut the lock on the park or tennis courts

I love Film Noir,

Have you seen Blood Simple then? 1984 film by the Cohen brothers. I would encourage you to see it if you've not already, and perhaps if you already have.

Yes! Gandhi would be proud.

The English General said - "You don't think we're just going to walk out of India!"

Gandhi replied - "Yes. In the end, you will walk out. Because 100,000 Englishmen simply cannot control 350 million Indians, if those Indians refuse to cooperate."

So perhaps we need to synchronize the defiance.

Let's pick a certain date and time to "tresspass" our own facilities en masse.

These are hard chain locks and I don't own any chain cutters. I prefer to climb the fence as sort of non-damaging protest and just play til we get chased away. On that note I was riding the bike in GG Park today and the grass was packed with partiers, even in SF the tide may be turning against the draconian lockdown. It was a beautiful day and people simply can't stay at home isolated anymore without going nuts.

My Body, My Choice - why does the left conveniently forget this slogan re. corona?

https://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2020/05/02/gov_newsom_puts_politics_over_data_in_california_shutdown_143100.html

Los Angeles County, which has implemented the most draconian beach closures in the country, has in excess of 1,000 coronavirus deaths. Orange County, which has consistently taken a less restrictive approach, has had 45 deaths going into this weekend. Orange County’s population of 3.3 million is larger than 22 states. If it were a state, Orange County’s death rate of 0.0014% would be the 49th lowest in the country. The primary hospital in Newport Beach has a 475-beds capacity and has never treated more than 25 people for coronavirus issues at any given time. The leaders of that hospital system believe that the curve has flattened, and that Orange County needs to responsibly reopen.

Against this backdrop of public health – and in favor of placing data and reality over politics and hysteria – the Newport Beach City Council voted this week to keep its beaches open. Data from across the country demonstrated that open beaches do not lead to a spike in cases of COVID-19. Los Angeles County closed their beaches over a month ago and data now shows that every single Los Angeles County beach community has a higher per capita infection rate than Orange County’s open beach communities. Brevard County, Florida with a population of 600,000 has largely kept their beaches open throughout the crisis. That county has seen 8 deaths and 47 hospitalizations in total. Duval County, Florida, with a population of nearly 1 million, opened its beaches nearly two weeks ago and has seen no ascertainable spike. On April 26, it had four new cases. In other words, sunlight, heat, and wide-open, outdoor spaces are not conducive to the spread of COVID-19.

This is especially true if beachgoers practice social distancing. In our decision to open the beaches, we planned to add more signs reminding beachgoers to use common sense. We also planned to deploy additional lifeguards and police officers to ensure that beachgoers continued to use the beach responsibly. It was a good compromise based upon the actual conditions on the ground.

However, 428 miles away in Sacramento and without consulting with a single Newport Beach official, Gov. Gavin Newsom decided to substitute his will for our judgment, shutting down the entire 42 miles of Orange County coastline, including Newport’s. He did this in part based upon widely disseminated and wildly misleading media photographs taken to give the false impression that Newport’s beaches were packed with people that were declining to use distancing. Local fire and police authorities reviewed this media depiction and agreed that it was misleading. What they “observed from land and by air was the vast majority of beach goers practicing social distancing.”

The fundamental question is whether Californians going to the beach is dangerous. A governor who shuts down beaches in the name of health and safety when open beaches do not actually threaten health or safety exceeds his Constitutional authority. The idea that Californians are in greater danger at the beach than they are when visiting Costco or Walmart, or for that matter, an open marijuana dispensary, is preposterous.

Children digging in the sand, teenagers surfing, and people reading a good book in a beach chair threatens the health and safety of no one. It is time for Gavin Newsom to stop pretending otherwise. Let cities and counties do their jobs and respond to the needs of their local populations. Let facts prevail over false media narratives. Keep the beaches open.

In the meantime, every single closure sign in Orange County should have our governor’s name on it. People will want to know who stripped them of their freedom of movement without data to support it.

I gotta say Patrick, I had no idea so few deaths and infections in OC.

That number (45 deaths in OC) is so divergent as to seem nearly impossible.

Maybe OC doesn't have many nursing homes.

Isnt sunshine a deterrent? Or has that not been established? Its hard to follow the facts in this world of lies, so im hedging my assumptions as possible fake news.

Is the orange county sunshine = lower infection rates a legit assumption?

Neighboring la County has 1000 deaths. I don’t know the numbers but know there was a pretty big issue in neighboring riverside county and nearby San Bernardino county as well.

Election Year Panic Pandemic will end when it has been wrung out of anti-Trump sentiment, although that seems to be backfiring.

Feel the warm, fuzzy love from your free shit politicians who won't suffer a shred of loss from this and are even positioned to profit?
