According to the news and social media...

Covid19 only gets spread during protests about the government shutting down businesses and forcing people to stay home.

People protesting en-mass, providing cover for looters and rioters, and blocking interstates don't spread disease at all.

Proof that people shouldn't get their news from social media.

And I will never understand why people think blocking traffic will win people over to your cause.

You're assuming those protesters think rationally. That's a mistake.

I don't assume anyone thinks rationally. When you get to be my age you'll probably think the same way.

There is nothing a protester could ever do, aside from actual dialogue, that would ever make me even CONSIDER changing my point of view.

Chanting, marching, looting, burning, rioting, picketing, etc. is absolutely wasted effort on me because I'll fortify my position out of spite. Have a debate, have a discussion, a sit down, a parlay, whatever...and I'll listen. Anything else...Nope.

I was at the beach this weekend. It was senior week. Let’s just say.....I’m ashamed of myself for looking and damn glad none of my kids were there. Thong bikinis were the norm. A group of 200 teens formed a circle, and by the sounds either a short fight or some girl got naked. I’d bet on the last.

One thing I did note. A group of black kids were hassling others passing. A collection of LEO and safety officers fronted them. All the kids pulled cell phones and challenged the LEOs. The entire group of officers huddled and then left. The black kids erupted in joy and then doubled their harassment. I sat on the balcony and watched this whole thing.

Trust me, nothing disgusts me more than a guy gettiing killed and the only reason it was prosecuted was because it was filmed. But it’s like some people have a get out of jail free card.

The strategy they are applying in Texas now, is to sue BUSINESSES that allow patrons/customers to not wear masks.

In NJ, they aren't suing. If they find you doing business with folks who are not wearing masks, they shut you down by EO from the Governor.

Can your Mayor even read? Does his signature look like this " X " ?

In PA, 5 articles of impeachment have been file against "King" Tom Wolf. This state is stuck on stupid.

Case in Point: Spring Carlisle opened yesterday, and up to 100,000 people are expected to show. "King" Wolf is suing the organizers of the Carlisle event because the expected crowd size is over 250. Nevermind that "King" Wolf participated in a riot, er, protest march in Harrisburg, PA, a couple of weeks ago.

State legislatures need to step up and go to their Supreme Court if needed to stop Governors from being dictators.
