A famed Los Angeles bar rented space for a party — purportedly for first responders, who have worked tirelessly during the coronavirus pandemic — that appeared to disregard social distancing standards.
"Friday’s gathering was arranged by an individual who wanted to honor a group of first responders," the bar's owners, the 1933 Group, said in a statement.
However, the progressive activist group Knock L.A., which appears to support defunding of the L.A.County Sheriff's Department, reported that maskless revelers were enjoying loud music and drinking and dancing inside the Sassafras Saloon. "The persons identified in the video are not employees of the Sheriff's Department and this event was not hosted by the LASD," the L.A. County Sheriff's Office said in a statement, adding that the incident was under investigation.
