Crowds Gather In Huntington Beach To Protest COVID-19 Curfew

The coronavirus pandemic is continuing to surge unchecked in the U.S., where around 200,000 new cases are being recorded each day, and daily deaths are approaching record numbers. With spikes happening in almost all 50 states, many state and local authorities are going back to the kinds of restrictions we haven’t seen since the spring, hoping to curb the spread of COVID-19. In California, Governor Gavin Newsom called for a nearly state-wide curfew that went into effect Saturday night. But instead of staying home, a large number of residents headed to the streets of Huntington Beach to protest.

Videos showed the protestors, most of whom were not wearing masks, gathering and marching in the streets. Many waved MAGA and American flags.

The most shocking thing might be how blatantly these protesters ignored public health directives meant to help protect them from further spread of COVID-19.

California’s curfew went into effect Saturday night in 41 of the state’s 58 counties. Gov. Newsom asked residents of those counties to stay home from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. daily, unless they had essential work duties or essential needs.
