Here I am at a closed Newport Beach

So Birdie, if the city/county wants it to open, and the police say they will not enforce a closure, why dont they(the mayor and others) call for tens of thousands to come to the beach in a show of defiance?

Just bitching about it accomplishes nothing.

The state will step in and shut them down.

I'm sure they would try, that's why you need tens of thousands of people, if the local police refuse to cooperate or even block them themselves that changes everything. This is how resistance begins and spreads, someone has to go first.

You guys could do it in mich easy, in the west/northern areas.

Talk is cheap rail, how hard is it for local leaders to call for locals to flock to the beaches? it's not hard at all, you just do it, then show up and lead the people to the beach.

Then you stand there surrounded by cameras and tell gavin newsom to go to hell.

If/when the next Lansing protest takes place, it’ll be interesting to see how it is handled.

Officers are telling people who are on the beach that they are required to tell them the beach is closed. Then they walk away doing nothing. No enforcement.

Did you find parking on the street? I'm heading down there this week. Is the public pay lot closed?

Interesting.

I once played against former NBA player Steve Henson.

He stood only 5-11 or thereabouts but he was built like a tank.

Locals only want residents who live in cities with a beach border. OC cities without beach borders are nothing more than an extension of the IE in their eyes.

Having grown up in beach town San Clemente, I can 💯 confirm this is our attitude.
Also note that parking is difficult under normal conditions in SC & Laguna, & I heard SC closed local legal beach parking. So it would be extremely difficult to join a large protest in that whole large strip between SC & NB.
