Demonstrators gathered at Chuters Dance Hall & Saloon in Pasadena, Texas, Sunday night for a “Texas Bars Fight Back Rally” after nightclubs were ordered to close amid the state’s coronavirus outbreak, The Houston Chronicle reported .
The dance floor was reportedly full of customers, most without masks, dancing to a live band and drinking alcohol, in violation of several state coronavirus restrictions.
The dance hall’s owners, Chris and Helen Bergeron, had organized a peaceful protest at the Texas Capitol, pushing for the reopening of bars in late June. Chris Bergeron said bar owners like him “need to be able to survive and get back to work,” according to the Chronicle.
"It doesn't make no sense whatsoever and it's totally discrimination is all it is," Chris Bergeron told MySanAntonio.com . "I'm not sure why they are picking on us ... I don't know what [the governor's] reasons are, but it's wrong. It's completely wrong. It's totally against our constitutional right."
Abbott paused the state’s reopening and shut down bars in late June after Texas had quickly become a hot spot in the U.S. for COVID-19.
