With the right wingers staging these social death squad rallies in front of some state capitals

because they think some bug (COVID19) and it is HOAX and is really killing human beings, on the average of around 200 and hour by my estimation.

I just gotta ask, while I switching back and forth watching hockey games to the news and having way to much time on hands (and remembering at one time as my statistical marker from last week, to see how the death toll from last Friday was at around 16, 569 deaths last Friday and now it is approaching 32,000+ today).

Why is the media, let's say from MSNBC, or CNN, and even the local station in Michigan WoodTv 8, that they did not mention that the protest group in Lansing was instigated by and funded a group from the Devos organization and others right wing groups on social media platforms that I was reading, why they, media didn't bring those individuals up from those organizations and ask them some pointed questions?

And, if they should be charged with inciting and placing not only health care workers in danger when they blocked the entrance to the hospital and people in the back of an ambulance, but why, they, and the pin heads that were doing the blocking were not charged....................or am I missing something here....................there is no f**king accountability...............really.............the media is just looking at some ratings game and saying these a**holes are protesting because they want to go out and kill me and others based on there stupidity, that they shouldn't comply with a state order............just asking...................

Especially with the assault weapons near the capitol building.

If I were Guv, I wouldn’t have hesitated one bit.

the tea partiers were worshipped by the media.

left wing protest is anarchy, and must be greeted with tear gas, firehoses, billy clubs, etc.

same as ever

Go to the roof and lob saline bags marked COVID-19 (+) Positive onto them and watch them scatter in tears.

Or if you don't want to be that cruel, lob dummy grenades at them with a few flash-bangs mixed in and watch them soil themselves.
