When is the Robert Redford vigil?
If we're going by new norms, Huntington Beach should be stepping up ASAP
Robert Redford died today.
Where is the vigil?
Redford, the Academy Award winner, was 89, and passed at his home in Utah. Here’s a snipper from the New York Times’ obituary …
And, as a Southern California resident, I am super psyched for the forthcoming Huntington Beach vigil. I’m sure all the City Council members will attend, for Redford was an iconic American figure who brought the nation together with his myriad films and founding of the Sundance Institute, a nonprofit dedicated to cultivating fresh cinematic voices. He was a man we could all identify with; a rugged individualist with a creative spark and dreams bigger than his orbit.
Where is the vigil?
I am sure, in the coming days, Donald Trump will fly the flag at half mast. I am sure NFL teams will hold moments of silence. I am sure there will be a military funeral, after his casket is carried to Washington via Air Force One. I am sure everyone will gather to pause and reflect on the patriotic life of Robert Redford. I am sure J.D. Vance will host a Redford-themed podcast. I am sure Marco Rubio will cry and Stephen Miller will re-watch, “The Natural.”
So, please, let me know the date and time of the Huntington Beach vigil.
Let me know where it is.
Redford was a climate change activist, he opposed drilling, and advocated for voting rights and campaign finance reform. You know.. all the things HB stands for!
Hypothetical question here: If Hulk Hogan had suffered a fatal heart attach while speaking at a MAGA rally, would trump had ordered a flags to be flown at half mast, even if it had fallen on 9/11? After all, he is a Real American.
