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 havent 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.
