Governor Newsome of California decided to make celebrating the 4th of July illegal. Amid a supposed new outbreak of the coronavirus, California’s Gavin Newsom was adamant that no firework celebrations be done on the Fourth of July. Several cities cancelled their planned celebrations of the country’s birth. Fireworks displays out in the streets such as we see in other states are illegal in California. In particular, Newsome targeted family gatherings. He told people not to attend gatherings with people who were not in their immediate family.
Here’s how the people in California responded to this edict.

There were many more cities where this played out.
In California, illegal fireworks were once the province of illegal immigrants. They brought the lawless ways of Mexico with them. But now it appears that everyone is doing them, thumbing their nose at the law.
Apparently Newsome’s ability to issue an edict and have it obeyed are rapidly diminishing. The people are seeing through the attempts to corral them in pens and turn them into sheep.
