Over 100 protesters gathered in Huntington Beach, California on Friday to speak out against the state’s stay-at-home order as well as a slew of other unlawful decrees.
Signs at the event read, “Liberate Huntington Beach,” “Open Cali Now,” “Let us work,” “Pandemics do not cancel our constitutional rights!!” and “COVID-19 is a lie.”
The Los Angeles Times talked with a woman in attendance who said, “I don’t think there’s any reason for us to be on lockdown now.”
Similar events have been held in Michigan, Ohio, Kentucky, Minnesota, North Carolina, Utah, and many other states have protests planned for the near future.
Infowars hosts and crew will be present at the You Can’t Close America Rally in Austin, Texas on Saturday, April 18th at noon.

“We’re here in defiance of Gavin Newsom and his socialist agenda to ruin our economy,” one of dozens anti-stay-at-home protestors in Huntington Beach today said. “We’re definitely not practicing social distancing, which is all right in my book.”https://t.co/clXp1qxY1t pic.twitter.com/QgVFNMgFHr

Even those who didn’t go out of their way to protest the state’s order are “over it” and continue to defy the stay-at-home decree.
Posting an image of a jampacked freeway, Fox Los Angeles reporter Bill Melugin said, “Local officials are losing control of their messaging.”
Current status on the 10 East heading to downtown LA. Way worse than yesterday. It seems the stay at home order is a paper tiger at this point. People are over it and patience is at an all time low. Local officials are losing control of their messaging. #COVIDー19 @FOXLA pic.twitter.com/TXGNMuMuaE
