These are all real people, so I think Anti-socialist describes them.

Anti-social behavior is an idea. Anti-socialist is an actual representation of the behavior of real human beings. Clear?

putting everyone at risk for their personnel behavior. That's what I mean when I say a person is anti-socialist. You don't have to carry an AR-15 in public to be a practicing anti-socialist.

or politics in general for that matter, I can't help you. Just because you want to give it a different definition doesn't make it so—especially when the word "social", as in social distancing, has already been coined as the accepted term in the lexicon of this pandemic.

And no, she won’t sue, because her “medical condition” is made up.

And yes, Dana Point. 😂

But they are BS.

I think stores are free to call this part of their safety or dress code, they're free to deny entry based on either consideration.

except she (my cousin) sprinkles holy oil and water on her after she says her morning and evening prayers so she is protected from the devil who is responsible for this virus.

Singled out my ass. She could have avoided the whole issue if she had just listened to the officer and walked away. Unlike with people of color, there would have been (and there was) no rough handling, tasing, cursing, or anything like that. She turned around and offered her hands to the officer, likely thinking that he wouldn't do anything.

THIS is false entitlement. Parks have operating hours and can be opened or closed by the authority of the municipality. People caught in the park after operating hours who refuse to leave when asked, are trespassing. They planned to do this and did this thinking they were like Rosa Parks, but they are just entitled assholes.

The protesters at the jail are also assholes. "Let our children play" idiots. You think I don't want my kids going to the park? You think they don't miss being able to play with their friends. We are all suffering, but were are doing so in order to NOT KILL people by spreading a virus for which we have no immunity, vaccine, or treatment!

Me crazy. My local Next Door has been engaged in a long argument about why someone can’t wear a mask. They can’t breathe, it’s against their rights, blah blah blah. Here was my post. Oddly enough, there has been no reply to my post. I’m pretty sure I just shut them all up.

“Masks are our way out of this except for a vaccine. It really is that easy. Why people don’t get this is beyond me. I lived in Hong Kong during SARS. When it was considered safe for my kids to return to school they all wore masks and my kids were 5 and 3. They wore masks. They complied. And, if a 3 year old, that was a wobbly thrower, can wear a mask at preschool for 4 hours, I imagine we can as well. Why we can’t do it is ridiculous.”

I’m still waiting for a rebuttal.

As often as we compare GOPers to pigs, etc, and then we are told to not insult pigs, it is hypocritical to name all rude people "Kevin" or "Karen" or "Felicia." I knew a real sweetie named Felicia who worked EMS years ago, and quite a few Kevins, too.
