Kirk Cameron stuck it to Gov. Gavin Newsom and his COVID guidelines by getting hundreds of people together in public to sing Christmas carols … something he does not regret.
The “Growing Pains” star helped organize a massive outdoor gathering Sunday in the parking lot of the Oaks Mall in Thousand Oaks — where literally swarms of people were huddled up, not wearing masks and singing their hearts and lungs out … breathing up a storm.
Looks like a good time, sure, but it comes mid-pandemic, and in an area where infection rates are already high. Kirk wasn’t concerned … he partnered with an org named Sing It Louder USA, and specifically says it was a protest against Newsom’s stay-at-home orders.
BTW, this mall caroling was the second such event Kirk and co. organized over the past couple weeks — apparently, they did another one on Dec. 6, where Kirk says upwards of 500 people came out to sing. He wanted the mall event to be even bigger than that, and it looks like he might’ve succeeded — the place was absolutely packed.
Law enforcement sources in the area tell us … mall security did call police, and officers from the Thousand Oaks PD that responded simply educated folks on the importance of mask-wearing and left.
No one was cited or arrested, despite Gov. Newsom’s lockdown measures.
