Community fascism can take on many forms.
More often than we realize, in cities where economically elitist folks have alot of influence, rather than help those who are unfortunate the "filthy rich" simply tell the police to enforce unconstitutional "laws" just to get rid of the people they would rather not see invading their precious "quality of life". These folks may preach about "freedom", all the while supporting the tyranny of fascism for everyone else who are stuck being poor.
2012-01-22 "Restore 24 Hour Access to California Beaches"
[https://www.change.org/petitions/the-governor-of-ca-restore-24-hour-access-to-california-beaches]
According to the California Coastal Act of 1976, the public should have 24 hour access to the beaches.
The Los Angeles’ beach curfew is well-known to people who have enjoyed an evening bonfire at Dockweiler State Beach by LAX or a moonlit walk in Venice only to have it cut short.
The police and city attorney are now ramping up to enforce a new curfew on Ocean Front Walk, Venice Beach, from midnight to 5:00 am, since it was declared part of “The Park”.
Residents and visitors alike will be impacted by this new development on Ocean Front Walk (aka Venice Boardwalk) just as they are by ALL beach curfews.
Coastal Commission Executive Director Peter Douglas says: “There are a lot of people who want to use the beach, which they have a constitutional right to do, in the middle of the night…You don’t preclude the public from that use without a good justification — a good reason — and we have to be able to look at that.”
Please sign this petition that will send emails to the following:
California Coastal Commission
L.A. City Attorney
Councilmember Bill Rosendahl
LAPD Pacific Division
Recreation and Parks
California Governor and more.
