California Governor Gavin Newsom has been telegraphing this move for over a week. With rising cases of coronavirus, the state has once again been put on lockdown. All non-essential indoor establishments must close immediate including gyms, barbershops, and churches. Domestic terrorists can breath a sigh of relief however because the Governor will still allow “peaceful” protests. You know, those race riots that caused the spike of coronavirus in the first place.
ABC 7 reports:
Gov. Gavin Newsom ordered several sectors to once again shut down Monday amid an increasingly concerning coronavirus surge.
Bars, both indoor and outdoor, will be forced to close down statewide. Restaurants are being told to cease indoor operations.
All counties also have to close all indoor operations at wineries, tasting rooms, movie theaters, family entertainment centers, zoos, museums and cardrooms.
In counties on the state’s watch list — including Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino and Ventura counties — even more businesses are being required to close their doors. That includes gyms, hair salons, barbershops, other personal care services, indoor malls, offices in non-critical sectors, and places of worship.
As of Monday, 31 counties were on the state’s monitoring list, which represents about 80% of the state’s population.
“We’ve made this point on multiple occasions and that is we’re moving back into a modification mode of our original stay-at-home order,” said Newsom.
And the modification of the stay-at-home order appears to be allowing civil unrest. Here’s a fun list of what is closed:
Statewide indoor closures include restaurants, bars and breweries, wineries & tasting rooms, movie theaters, family entertainment centers, zoos and museums, and cardrooms. County indoor closures include fitness centers, places of worship, indoor protests, offices for non-critical infrastructure sectors, personal care services, hair salons and barbershops, and malls. (my emphasis).
If indoor protest are shutdown, that means outdoor protests are still allowed or they would said something about them too.
Here’s a fair question: What about looting? We know California is going to allow angry mobs to torch police cars and destroy statutes of white historical figures because those are outdoor activities, but happens if they want to loot a store, which would be indoors? Again, the governor didn’t specifically ban looting so it’s probably still allowed as well.
This seems like a very kind concession to the Black lives Matter movement who is single-handily responsible for the uptick in coronavirus cases in the state. Everyone was following the stay-at-home/social distancing rules and the curve was flattened in California, which never really had much of a coronavirus problem in the first place.
Then a black guy on drugs had a heart attack in police custody in Minneapolis and suddenly the streets of California were filled with tens of thousands of rioters, looters, and general scumbags, not obeying any of the state mandated rules to stop the spread of the coronavirus. The democrats running the state, the counties, and the cities allowed this lawless and reckless behavior and even encouraged it because they want to appear “woke.”
By pure coincidence, according to democrats and the liberal media, weeks after these “peaceful” race riots started, the coronavirus cases started climbing. Within a month, California was in the midst of a full-blown outbreak, which is weird because the state had avoided an overwhelming number of cases until then.
NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio also recently said he expects people to follow the shutdown rules but left an exemption for BLM protests and race riots.
This is what liberal rule looks like. The people who followed the rules are being punished with less freedom and employment, while the scumbags who caused this situation are being told to keep doing what they do.
