Let's not forget them packing themselves indoors and screaming at law enforcement officers inches away from their faces in complete disregard of how this infectious disease (you know, the thing that has actually caused all these restrictions they're mad about) is spread. Sure glad those cops didn't "fear for their lives", for the "protesters'" sake.

Open carry, bullet proof vest and screaming about your good over the good of the community = terrorist.

Blocking streets = shutting off infrastructure = terrorist

I'm sick of the toddler tantrums. They need a timeout. They can come back when they act like civilized adults.

At least they’re not “sons of a b” like kaepernick

So really its just about guns.

Because the rest of those things. Blocking intersections, screaming, etc. happens a lot in protests.

More pathetic stories of idiot Republicans ignoring self-quarantining mandates thus putting all of our lives in danger.

April 17th Springfield, MA - 2 young, registered republicans attending a "Let's Get Back to Work" rally were arrested for ignoring social distancing requirements. These members of the young republican alliance claimed this was inaccurate and pointed to the automatic AK-47 with a 30 round magazine brought along to enforce the 6 foot rule. Thankfully several more sane individuals , dressed in black and wearing proper face coverings for public safety, were attending a peaceful gathering close by (Antif something). With their expert knowledge of how pandemic's spread, they quickly intervened to maintain 6 ft distancing by gently twirling a large, solid hickory truth stik amongst the crowd until authorities arrived.

No. For me, it is also about the screaming at close proximity given the current state of things. No incredibly infectious disease going around? Go nuts.

A quick search on these dam republican rally's putting us all at risk turned up even more of these horrific stories.

Chicago, IL - A medical first-responder Chicago mother was fined on Monday for Disorderly conduct. According to police, while she was at work providing urgent care, her 26 year old son had organized an indoor Young Republicans fundraising rally to protest quarantine rules and discuss how to infect the broader base. Pathetically, the son said "we are millenials and didnt know how serious this was". In video obtained by authorities, these young republicans can be seen in foolishly close contact while shouting "Comey and McCabe lied, Locked up Donny supporters not released from prison during a pandemic died".

This only works if you believe you have a responsibility to protect others in society. I believe JF has already stated he doesn't feel he has a responsibility for that. The fact that anyone would argue it is OK to stand armed, dressed up to play army, screaming hysterically in someone's face is something we are supposed to be OK about shows just how low some of us have fallen. I don't really care what label you want to use*. It shows, in living color, how much our society has accepted childish, selfish behaviour and how Americans are unable to put country first while claiming they support country first.

*my personal thought is they are a bunch of pansies. They wouldn't last a half a shift doing what the ER staff is having to do.

They are ginormous pansies. I can’t wait til we go full throttle and the right disregards all medicine as elite hoax. I guess the droolers can all visit those trump loving ER docs in CA who tout themselves as geniuses who see the light while committing giant, basic statistical and epidemiological errors in their analyses.

I ignored the posts with those 2 other than seeing what their 'Clinic' was called. I wondered if they were real Docs and if they were real they def were the ambulance chaser kind who see car accidents and fudge exams for $$

I have wasted some time on the D1 side since I am in Webex meeting hell today.

Here is a good overview. https://respectfulinsolence.com/2020/04/28/erickson-massihi-bogus-epidemiology-covid-19/

And part of a statement from American College of Emergency Physicians and the American Academy of Emergency Medicine.

“As owners of local urgent care clinics, it appears these two individuals are releasing biased, non-peer reviewed data to advance their personal financial interests without regard for the public’s health.”

Ummmmm, isn't that the reason for the establishment of societies?

either I'm getting even more senile, or that is one of the worst paragraphs ever written. I still don't know what happened, or why, or who the main party to the event was. I do get that whatever it was, it was in Chicago IL.

Right but most protests arent in a time where social distancing is not only needed, but legally mandated. A bunch of people being shoulder to shoulder to protest for Gay Rights /= hundreds of people risking the health of others by protesting they cant go watch the game while drinking a Coors Light.

The Right to Protest is sacred, but lets not forget people get arrested for protesting all the time. (especially when they put other people at risk) These people charged into the Capitol with semi-automatic/automatic weapons and were risking everyone's lives there not just with their guns, but their possible infection.

They not only should have been arrested, they should have had their guns confiscated and they should have been forced into a real quarantine for a few days to see what it is really like. People are acting like we are sacrificing everything...this is not a sacrifice. There is no rationing, everything (and more) needed to survive is readily available. Their Civil Liberties are not being trampled on and they certainly arent in fear for their life to the point of needing to arm themselves and risk further spread. The only reason they WERENT arrested (or shot) was cause their were Rednecks and not Negroes.

Don’t even bother. He’s just a trumpette surfing state run media sites, then putting his warped spin on it.

He needs to go take deep breaths while enjoying that freedom he craves.

They may be thinking that's how to hold rural counties in MI, WI, and PA. And they may be right.

FYP

Now whether or not that wins elections is another story. If we turn out the people with an even modest amount of critical thinking ability we might see an election like 2018.

Is everyone reminding their friends, family and neighbors to make sure they are registered properly and already making their plan to vote? It's more than just saying "I'm gonna vote." Do they know their (current -- it could change) polling location? Do they know the rules in their state about absentee/vote by mail? Are they already making preliminary plans on how they will accomplish casting a ballot in 2020?
