"SNIP.....

“A protest movement is taking hold targeting states that have extended social-distancing rules, closed schools and restricted access to large religious gatherings. And it’s being fed by loyalists and political allies of President Trump,” the Daily Beast reports.

“The tension has prompted Republican lawmakers and supporters of the president to publicly call for Americans to defy their local orders, claiming they infringe on constitutional rights.”

Detroit News: “Hundreds of demonstrators lined the streets around the Michigan Capitol Wednesday for a rally to protest Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s stay-at-home order, which aims to protect public health during the coronavirus pandemic.”

.....SNIP"

Darwin award members. Unfortunately they'll take the vulnerable population of Detroit with them.

The lack of intellect is astonishing. They don't even seen to have a smattering of basic common sense.

That would stop that shit right in its tracks.

Want to protest, fine, here's your bill for $75,000.

Now go the fuck home.

This is not the kind of virus you WANT to contract to get the immunity, considering how high the stakes are.

I guess they have not seen the insides of the hospitals and the scores of dying patients. I guess they are not considering that age is not always the factor, regardless of odds. I guess the now more alarming reports of major organ failure are not a concern, nor the long-term impact/damage of having had it for some. Not to mention a protracted recovery.

No, go get your freedumb and it's, ME, ME, ME, instead of a patriotic concern for your fellow Americans. This not a rights issue right now, but, oh, Trump's dictatorship is just fine and dandy, while we are on the subject? Such confused fools.

The sign says: NO YOU GITS, THIS IS NOT AT ALL LIKE THE FLU!"
