Protesters plan 'Freedom Rally' in Wisconsin after governor extends stay-at-home order
Source: The Hill
Protesters are planning a Freedom Rally in Wisconsin following the governors extension of a stay-at-home order, marking the latest public backlash to state efforts to slow the spread of the coronavirus. The demonstration, led by ReOpen Wisconsin and Wisconsinites Against Excessive Quarantine, is scheduled for April 24, the day the governor's initial order was slated to expire.
"Government mandating sick people to stay home is called quarantine. However, the government mandating healthy citizens to stay home, forcing businesses and churches to close is called tyranny," ReOpen Wisconsin said in a statement to a local NBC affiliate.
Madison Marie, one of the Wisconsin rally organizers, told Newsweek that social distancing could still be observed at the protest, but admits it could be difficult.
"People are responsible for their own health, but we ask that they use common sense and if they are sick we ask that they stay home," Marie said. "If they feel safer wearing a mask or gloves, they are free to do so.

This is for all of us as Americans together, so the loss is yours and the death will not be remembered as the heroic act you imagine. But then, you can't imagine much farther than your noses.
Farewell, noble patriots. Carry on.

I dearly hope that Dr. Fauci calls out this stupidity at the next tRump Covid-19 rally.
Newest Reality
(12,712 posts)I think that, too.
I was egging them on as a parody, or chiding actually. Although, they might be the types that if you tell them to do it, they will do the opposite. If you tell them to stop, they just get more indignant and adament if you know what I mean.
Not that a comment on a forum is going to have any impact, but you are right.
