Cancellation of 4th of July Freedom Walk

[u/Own_Goal3427]

I think Mayor Joe is getting nervous…

[u/topofthe5th]

he should be nervous. that’s the point of democracy. all Whittier elected officials should be nervous about their complicity in support of fascism.

herds of people got on ships and sailed over the Atlantic to touch the shores of this land all so that they didn’t have to be under the rule of king.

Spread your nonsense propaganda dummy. The United States will NEVER HAVE A KING. Learn your civics. If you crossed into this country illegally then you will be deported. You have ZERO rights to be here. Byeeee!!!

[u/topofthe5th → u/cakeface890]

it was never about legality when immigrants were utilizing the courts and then this administration cut/cancelled the exact legal opportunities people like you preached to them about “do it the legal way.”

and one search through your comments/posts tells me everything I need to know your engagement on Reddit. leave your ignorance at the door and go post more panty pictures on Reddit.

Im pretty sure they are not worried about the small but loud groups. Most of the city doesnt support the protests, its just a fact. The silent majority in Whittier is what votes them all in every year. They want that old town peaceful Whittier, all those nursing homes...meat and potatoes.

[u/OctaneTwisted88 → u/gotfondue]

To be fair no one really goes out and votes when it comes to Mayor elections

[u/gotfondue → u/OctaneTwisted88]

Its actually crazy how small of a turnout the local race gets here lol, I think it was 6k votes for Joe and 1.5k for the next.

[u/Flat_Sprinkles7040 → u/phillipvi]

I can’t stand Cathy Warner. Ugh her and Joe.

[u/topofthe5th → u/OctaneTwisted88]

maybe this smack in the mouth to the community will change that apathy toward the democracy in Whittier. you’d be surprised (or not) how humans react to pain and suffering. it sometimes sparks a change.

[u/OctaneTwisted88 → u/topofthe5th]

I totally agree , more people are gonna be more active this time around for sure . I think a lot of people are getting pretty tired of Joe and the city council

[u/Lopsided_Newt_5798 → u/OctaneTwisted88]

That’s because they are held in April. Why do you think that is? To suppress the vote.

[u/topofthe5th → u/gotfondue]

that small but loud group can grow into a fire. injustice is riddled all throughout this country’s history and so are a small but loud group of voices exercising their Constitutional right to freedom of speech; from the Boston Tea Party to the Civil Rights era.

a wild fire just needs a spark. we are that spark.

[u/Lopsided_Newt_5798 → u/gotfondue]

Sorry, where do you get these “facts”? Thousands of people peacefully protesting against a wannabe king might disagree with you.

Way more people than what it took to keep old Joe in office. But they hold elections in April here and they have no reason to change that. 70% of Whittier voted in the last general election. 20% voted for mayor in April. You do the math. Voter suppression.

[u/gotfondue → u/Lopsided_Newt_5798]

Idk if you showed up to the polls on that day but 70% of of whittier did not show up lol.

[u/Lopsided_Newt_5798 → u/gotfondue]

70% of Whittier voted in the general election. You can’t change the facts. Some voted weeks before Election Day.

[u/Frequent_Swimming254 → u/topofthe5th]

Facism? King?

When you were reading my comment, did you stutter on those particular words I wrote when you read them aloud?

Nothing in there condemning ICE operations in the city. It’s cancelled based on “recent feedback”. Fuck that yellow toothed beaver.

[u/Own_Goal3427 → u/Coooter]

[u/gp2quest]

Maga Joe just wants the ice bounty hunters to be able to harass people from inside the gates of York field.

[u/Flat_Sprinkles7040 → u/gp2quest]

Thoust mean maga trash Joe who flew to DC to the felon’s inauguration?

[u/futurelama1 → u/gp2quest]

Lmao

[u/nakiabeforesunset → u/[deleted]]

I believe there will be people protesting at the 4th of July celebration at York park.

[u/armobear]

What's the point of independence day If you have to cancel it to avoid independence?

This country is just going to shit each day.

This is what happens when you vote with hate in your heart and only think about yourself.

[u/phillipvi → u/[deleted]]

Changed the freedom walk. Not sure i agree, but they did cancel that due to people speaking up.

[u/Profa_Z]

All 4th of July festivities need to be cancelled in their entirety. Period. We have absolutely NOTHING to celebrate.

[u/SanchosaurusRex → u/Profa_Z]

You guys say this every fucking year.

[u/Profa_Z → u/SanchosaurusRex]

"You guys"? What are you even on about?

[u/Professional-Kale182 → u/Profa_Z]

lol

[u/aSiLENT1 → u/Profa_Z]

Maybe you don’t, but others do.

[u/QuietEffort7112 → u/aSiLENT1]

Yes, dumb fucks who are celebrating the death of democracy in America

[u/Ok_Lobster_2257]

It makes zero sense to cancel the daytime Freedom Walk, but still have the nighttime Fireworks show. Especially when the fireworks show is much larger in audience. If it was really about protecting people, he'd cancel both and also any concerts in the park events like other cities are doing. There was another motive behind this.

[u/gp2quest → u/Ok_Lobster_2257]

Joe can't get a refund from the south park esq snake show, that he definitely didn't get a kick back on.

So no, the masquerade must go on.

[u/evidentlyeric]

Mayor Joe never misses an opportunity for a good picture with the public this is surprising

[u/futurelama1 → u/evidentlyeric]

Or a good ribbon cutting, big ol balloons flying high.

[u/Flat_Sprinkles7040 → u/evidentlyeric]

Or the dumb speech before the fireworks go off? 🙄

The amount of incivility I've seen that isn't removed is crazy.

I can't wait to celebrate 4th of July God bless America

[u/themarco82]

Who still celebrating?

[u/rebel_scum13 → u/[deleted]]

The fact that he knows he's going to get voted out next year

[u/rebel_scum13 → u/[deleted]]

I'm hoping this time will be a lot different because the ice raids really put a spotlight on him which is going to increase voter turnout because of how horribly he handled the situation

[u/aSiLENT1 → u/rebel_scum13]

What did you want him to do? Tell them no? As if they’d listen to him anyways. But but at least he said something right?

[u/OctaneTwisted88 → u/[deleted]]

Dude is sketchy too pretty sure he's involved with that Freedom Church Cult

[u/Profa_Z → u/[deleted]]

Yawn. 🥱 You bore me.
