I live in H.B. about 1 1/2 blocks from the sand. On Saturday morning helicopters flew overhead and made announcements that the boardwalk was closed and the beach was too. Well I was in the water at the time and basically none of us got out until we wanted too. The lifeguards did nothing and the H.B. police issued no citations as I saw. Same for Sunday morning.
The city put up tape and blockades along the paved beached trail and the stairs but that was all taken down or moved by the public. We still walked, jogged, swan, surfed along the beach and water. The city put them back and we took them down, No citations as I saw were issued.
Bolsa Chica State beach was completely shut down, Bolsa Chica goes basically from Warner Ave. to the inlet right just north of the H.B. cliffs. There were CHP officers and state rangers enforcing the shutdown.
Basically the H.B. City beaches were ""closed"" but the authorities did not do much of anything to stop people from going on the beach or in the water.
Based upon what you guys are reporting it sounds like things went pretty much as expected.
I don't think anybody thought the Huntington Beach Police and Newport Beach Police were going to go out of their way to actively enforce the governor's order when clearly the local governments do not agree with it.
The only people going to actively enforce that order were the CHP and they report to the governor.
Always good to hear your positive upbeat messages, artie!
Hallmark has openings for stay at home greeting card writers.
You're a natural, plus this is your chance to get off SDI for that mental condition!
Good luck
*sniffs air* I smell troll. Probably white and under age laughing his ass off...or some clueless guy who forgets the country isn't comprised of just white and black people. Also appearing at the beaches this weekend were Asians, Hispanics, Indians, people of mixed heritage and pretty much everyone except the Amish.
Thumbs up to all of you who believe in choice and individual right! I'm surprised that no one has complained that ads on HX encourages
violation of social distancing policies, yet many HX members want
the shutdown to continue because they still believe it is not safe to
interact with the public in a safe manner.
If you're gonna post Gloom Guy, give us some real gloom!
Cumalot (inside) Worldclass, forget Trump for a minute and just think about your life.
Do you really want to sit in your mom's basement until they find a vaccine?
12 mos., 18 mos., maybe you never get out?
This country has to transition back to normalcy (safely) at some point.
And, thats what we're about to start NOW.
It turns out that this virus is not as infectious as they thought and most definitely not as deadly as they thought. Fine, they erred on the side of safety...but that's over now.done.kaput.finished.
There will be bumps in the recovery road and no actions will be perfect.
If this is too daunting for you and you're scared, best to quietly kill yourself so that you can put yourselves out of our misery
