If you needed more evidence that these lockdown measures are completely out of control, look no further than this thread from Ben Shapiro about police giving an elderly couple a hard time for daring to sit in chairs on the beach.
No, we’re not making that up.
Take a look:
A friend of mine took his family to the beach in Oxnard today. Yes, they were socially distancing. About thirty feet away, the police proceeded to tell a 93-year-old couple — sitting away from people on beach chairs — that they could sit on the sand but not on the chairs.

Bad elderly couple sitting in chairs! BAD!
Keep in mind it may not be all that easy for a 93-year-old to sit in the sand, let alone get up. But you know, they can’t sit in chairs because that’s not ‘temporary’ enough

Note from Oxnard PD Asst. Chief Eric Sonstegard:
“Shapiro played a video on his national show today and indicated that it was “police in Oxnard”. It was actually the Sheriff’s Department. The Hollywood Beach area often gets confused as the city of Oxnard but it’s actually unincorporated Ventura County.”
Editor’s Note: Why can Tesla open up a plant with thousands of workers but 93 olds can’t sit on OUR beaches?

It is out of hand.
Why can we all show up at Target or the grocery store, but can’t sit on a beach – with NO One near you?!
We are backed by our constitution. Don’t let it slip folks! Use your head.
There are other illnesses out there besides this “new one”.
Being indoors like this is not healthy either.
What about depression?
Suicide?
Children and women who are NOT safe at home because they are abused?
What about those who are becoming hungry?
What about those who will become homeless?
Wake up.
How come the sheriff is picking on elderly people why didn’t they just leave them alone you’re 93 for god sakes I didn’t paid to something else and just leave the old people alone
My husband and I can’t sit on the sand anymore. I’ve had back, neck and knee surgery that makes it impossible for me. I have to have a chair. I’ll be so glad when we can do this again.
David, Calm Down. Nobody got hurt. The deputies were following policy from the Sheriff and county leadership. I’m sure they didn’t enjoy patrolling the beach looking for violations. Furthermore, your reference to being Nazis’ and a demand for an investigation is clearly is an overreaction. It’s more comedic drama that we don’t need at this time.
Oh please, stop the drama
My wife and I were there too, the police were polite and embarrassed but told us we could not even sit unless we were moving. Yoga or sit-ups were okay, just could not sit in place.
I would say that sitting on chairs for a ninety-three old (93) couple is essential for them. Since when can’t people do what this couple did. They were following the distancing. I would say that the Oxnard Police were BAD…really BAD!! Get a life guys quit picking on old folks!!

Nazis are gonna Nazi!
You can be on the beach but you can’t sit on a chair?
Please show me that law! Otherwise I want these officers written up, reprimanded, disciplined, reports filed in their records, suspended without pay while the investigation for abuse of power is investigated, and then arrested, tired, and prosecuted for violation of basic civil rights.
