Most of the protesters who chanted “Open California” and “Libertad” chose NOT to wear protective masks and did not follow the distance rules.
The signs read: “Virus Control”, “All Jobs Matter” and “I Want to Get My Life Back”. Some waved American flags and used the slogan “Trump 2020” to campaign for the reelection of President Donald Trump in the November elections.
In Los Angeles, where hundreds of protesters gathered outside City Hall, police avoided clashes with counter-protesters.
In Huntington Beach, just over 50 miles south of Los Angeles, thousands of people took to the streets against the closure of local beaches.
“That was the drop that caused the barrel to overflow,” said protester Monica Beilhard. The closure of the beaches was “superfluous and unnecessary”.
