More stupidity "freedom protesters" in Olympia WA

WSP says they won't stop people from exercising their freedom of speech, but they will enforce social distancing guidelines and the ban on large crowds.

SEATTLE — Protesters plan to descend on the state Capitol on Sunday afternoon to rally against Gov. Jay Inslee's stay-at-home order that is in effect in Washington until at least May 4.

Washington State Patrol said they won't stop people from exercising their freedom of speech, but they will enforce social distancing guidelines and the ban on large events.

Tyler Miller, the event organizer said he understands the public health concerns and agrees people need to take precautions, but the stay-at-home order takes it too far.

I've noticed several of these protests seem pretty small.

But they sure draw a lot of attention.

It doesn’t look as though his group understands 6 feet apart. And few of them wear masks. And they don’t want to stay home. So just what precautions is he willing to take. I suspect just taking the relief check.
