Under Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam’s eased coronavirus restrictions in effect Friday, the state’s oceanfront was relegated to fishing and exercise only, and social distancing was required.

But that didn't keep crowds away from Virginia Beach over the weekend as temperatures reached the high 70s. Sunbathers took to the sand, bikers peddled along the bustling boardwalk and newly reopened gift shops were crowded with customers buying hermit crabs and snow cones, The Virginian-Pilot reported.

On Friday, Northam, a Democrat, gave the green light for houses of worship and some businesses to operate at 50 percent capacity. Outdoor dining – with different parties spaced 6 feet apart – resumed with some staff required to wear masks.

If people simply decide to ignore their state governments en masse, then the governments will either crack down on their own citizens, or follow their citizens lead for their own political survival.

It's already begun in many places, and the more places that keep up this trend, the more that will follow suit.

Can’t he don his dress whites and scare them all off the beach?

Or maybe hold some lynchings?

Americans have decided that the tyrannical lockdown is over. In Los Angeles it appears that the locals are going to have to burn down the city to get mayor Eric ‘The Goon’ Garcetti to change his mind.

There are a lot of Angelenos in Phoenix partying down because there isn’t anything that is allowed in California.

A person only has as much power over one as one gives that person.

It is time for all of us to take back our power from those who have abused it.

He is letting the “playing class” out and about while keeping the independent working class on lock down.

All a part of Global Socialism.

Liberals who enforce very few laws try to scare us with their orders.

de Blasio says he’ll fence off the NYC Beaches if the same thing happens there.

What are “we” gaining if the socialists allow us to go play while our jobs are not returning?

Just thinking out loud here.

I am not surprised. If they won’t let you on the beach the next best thing is a lake or a river. The tyrant politicians and police in California can look across the Colorado river and Lake Havasu at all of the Californians spending their money and having a good time in AZ. What a bunch of a idiots.

These are pictures of the enemies of Freedom. Too bad this isn’t “in times of old”. A quick end to this BS would be on hand.

I’m surprised he hasn’t put anybody on the rack yet for violating his decrees.
