Kirk Cameron Annihilated On Twitter For Mask-Free Christmas Gathering
Actor Kirk Cameron is the talk of social media after he hosted another event on Tuesday night that brought together nearly 100 people who didn’t practice social distancing or wear masks.
Cameron’s Christmas caroling event was held in California to protest against Governor Gavin Newsom’s COVID-19 stay-at-home order. A crowd between 75 to 100 carolers could be seen outside a mall in Thousand Oaks.
“This is the land of the free and home of the brave, and there are thousands and thousands of people in our community who would rather not suffer in isolation and come out to sing and express their gratitude. We believe there is immunity in community, but there is desolation in isolation,” the “Growing Pains” actor stated, according to NBC News.
This is just one of many protesting events he’s hosted this season, and he doesn’t plan on stopping either.
After hearing of this news, many Americans took it upon themselves to reprimand him on social media. They were also judging those who decided to join in the caroling.
He even posted the announcement of the event on his Instagram story to try and bring a crowd out.
The Oaks Mall officials had told the 50-year-old that the gathering would be irresponsible and not accepted on the premises. He ignored these demands and no legal action has been taken towards Cameron or the attendees thus far.
"In regards to the peaceful protest planned for The Oaks this evening, we do not condone this irresponsible — yet constitutionally protected — event. We share your concern and have notified the Sheriff’s office," the mall stated on their Facebook page.
NBC stated it reached out to the Ventura Country Sheriff’s Office for a comment, but no one was able to get a hold of any officers or officials.
The State of California has a stay-at-home order in effect and residents are supposed to only leave their homes for work, shopping and running errands.
There have been 23,254 COVID-19 related deaths in California.
