This reporter covered the Beverly Hills Tea Party* in 20-effing-10 (two eternities ago) but no way in hell will I be arsing myself to record/mock this collection of ninnies & nitwits, even if it does start at a semi-civilized hr. Organized by a hairstylist named Brandon, is it? And why isn't it the Free or First or Fabulous or Fantastic or Fanatical "American Restoration Tour"?West Hollywood officials are distancing themselves from a planned march Sunday by a conservative political group.The “American Restoration Tour” event is being organized by the #WalkAway campaign, a social-media campaign that was launched by New York hairstylist Brandon Straka ahead of the 2018 mid-term elections, with the stated purpose of encouraging voters to leave the Democratic Party.
The march will begin at 1 p.m. Sunday at the corner of North Robertson and Santa Monica boulevards. Marchers will arrive at Beverly Gardens Park in Beverly Hills for a rally set for 2 p.m.
According to a flyer posted online by the #WalkAway campaign, speakers at the rally will include Straka, former Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz, former California state Senate candidate Joe Lisuzzo, singer Cherie Currie, comedian Josh Denny, actresses Shiva Bagheri and Roxanne Hoge, podcaster Jeff Dornik, YouTuber Gothix, actor and commentator Mike Harlow, political commentators Natalie Beisner, Emily Wilson and Jairo Tomico, and Karen Siegemund of the Beverly Hills Conservative Club.
“The city of West Hollywood and its public safety partners at the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department are aware that there is a planned `American Restoration Tour’ march/rally scheduled to take place on Sunday, April 27 in the city of West Hollywood and in the city of Beverly Hills. The city of West Hollywood has received calls from residents and businesses with concerns,” West Hollywood officials said in a statement late this week. “Community members have expressed alarm that this assembly stands in contradiction to West Hollywood’s core values and community ideals. Additionally, there is concern about the potential for counter-protests in response.
“It is important to note that the march/rally is not a city-permitted event. Rather, the city of West Hollywood respects the Constitution and honors the First Amendment rights of free speech and assembly.
“While the city values the rights of free expression, it also recognizes that language and actions matter,” the statement continued. “The city remains steadfast in uplifting the dignity and rights of our community members and remains vigilant in denouncing words and actions that may seek to devalue, divide, or diminish us.
“As with any First Amendment assembly, public safety is the city of West Hollywood’s top priority. Law enforcement personnel from the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department will uphold public safety and, when there may be substantial threats to public safety, a gathering may be declared unlawful and ordered to disperse in order to protect people and property.
“The city of West Hollywood works diligently to defend the fundamental rights of its community members including LGBTQ+ people, people with disabilities, older adults, people of color, immigrants, women, and others. The city’s outspoken advocacy and commitment to promoting social justice and equal rights is unwavering and the city does not condone or support actions that seek to harm, divide, or undermine our community and its values.”
Beverly Hills officials said organizers had a permit for the rally, but no road or sidewalk closures were permitted. City officials said “police, park rangers, and Code Enforcement will be monitoring the event.”
I s'pose I dare not suggest what could, should or might be done to & with these specimens, for fear of being reported to John Law as a domestic terrorist. I'm on enough bullshit lists as it is, thank you bastards so fucking much. Crikey, the damn Nazis can march around exercising their First Amendment rights, but my feelings (which I am not supposed to keep bottled w/in me, mind you) are taboo. Every damn time I do share I get in trouble, as if this world of shit & pain were junior fucking high filled w/ tattletales & squealers going to the vice-principal.
