Healthcare workers clashed with anti lockdown protesters in Colorado on Sunday, defiantly standing in front of the cars of demonstrators who flocked to the state Capitol in their hundreds to urge Gov. Jared Polis to lift COVID-19-induced stay-at-home orders.
Protests against state lockdowns implemented to combat the novel coronavirus outbreak continued nationwide this afternoon, as a fervent disdain for the restrictions that have shut down much of the country's economy continues to slowly spread across the US.
Titled 'Operation Gridlock', the day's largest demonstration took place in Denver, where hundreds of protesters ignored social distancing guidelines to huddle together on the lawn of the state Capitol, waving flags emblazoned with slogans such as 'Your "health" does not supersede my right', 'Freedom over fear', and 'I would rather risk coronavirus than socialism'.
Mobilized by a number of groups on social media, the protesters called Gov. Polis a tyrant and insisted the ongoing economic cost of the shutdown was no longer worth the few lives it would save.

WHAT are you promoting there? LOOK AT THE SIGN. READ IT. LOOK AROUND YOU! Do you see any difference?
At this point we would hope to keep America somewhat survivable, if that.

(4,157 posts)I just can't get my head around the fact that people are allowed to do this. It is unconscionable, and it just shows what we are up against. Just imagine what will happen in November when Pussy-Grabber's ass is kicked to the curb. . . .
