The upscale mall in Costa Mesa had planned to throw open its doors to customers Monday following a lengthy coronavirus-related closure but will remain closed indefinitely.

The L.A. County curfew was put in place after looting and arson amid peaceful George Floyd protests. The National Guard and police officers were out.Other demonstrations held Sunday in downtown Los Angeles, Huntington Beach and Santa Ana were largely peaceful.

Unconfirmed rumors circulating on social media indicated that an unnamed group was organizing some kind of protest at South Coast Plaza on Monday night — leading some to speculate that looters could be targeting the center next.Some people are really trying to take advantage of the situation.

Costa Mesa instituted a local curfew overnight Sunday, with officials saying they had gotten wind of plans to potentially vandalize and loot businesses within the city. “What began as a civil peaceful assembly to protest has been co-opted and turned into destruction, chaos and intent to commit criminal acts,” Mayor Katrina Foley said in a statement Sunday. “We’ve learned from multiple sources that people plan to loot in our city. There is a lot of misleading information on social media right now intended to create disruption, but we must still take the necessary precautions to keep our city and our residents safe.

Peaceful protests against police brutality are legal and effective. Violent, baseball-bat-wielding, storefront-shattering, looting protests are not. President Trump is sending a clear message to ALL protestors: 'Leave your baseball bats at home!'

There shouldn't be anything to worry about in the most diverse state in the county and the most democratic and liberal... DIVERSITY IS OUR STRENGTH

Such BS on the looting part. Want respect? Stop looting

Imagine what these terrorists would’ve done in South Coast?

Who the fuck writes these headlines

Diversity is our greatest strength
