Thanks again Tim for a good assessment. Like the unruly children they were growing up with placating parents, this is just going to continue escalating. No one has ever effectively said "no" to them and the more boundaries they cross without resistance the more unleashed they will become .. drunk on power. Rather like a drug addiction ... more, more, more is needed to feed the "rush".

If November election results meet with their disapproval, we are going to see bizarre erruptions and rioting right across the country the likes of which even Hell cannot fathom. Buckle up folks. Stock up like the most off-the-wall prepper. Mad Max is just around the corner.

Fine. Antifas a myth, and the protests are peaceful. I will say these two statements if they either:

1. Ban the mass gatherings of peaceful protesters with fines up to and including jail time for violating social distance orders as per the guidance of Dr Faucci due to COVID-19.
   OR
2. Lift social distancing orders in all states including mask wearing mandates, as well as resend all fines and charges imposed on individuals violating the mask mandate starting from Day one of the peaceful protests.

I'm just very tired of all the rules for this and not for that. I believe in peaceful protest. I believe in freedom of speech. But, I also believe COVID is real and doesn't have sentient intelligence to prefer one political idenity from another. I'm more interested in my doctors knowledge as well as government represented individuals advice.

I wear a mask, social distance, and follow the rules much like a majority of people in this country. But, it's very frustrating that having protests is perfectly ok, but going to church, school, work, and a whole host of other reasons is against the law and subject to fines. The reason why this bothers me so much is because it alludes to the idea that our current COVID situation isn't as bad as they're saying it is. If that's true, that's horrible.

I have family, NY, who recently moved out of the city that I still haven't been able to visit at all this year. A grandmother who passed away that I still haven't had a funeral for. I'm not saying things weren't really bad. I'm just asking, how bad are they now? If things are still as bad as they are saying, then what is the justification for allowing mass gatherings in the streets during stay at home orders in locked down and tepid reopen states?

We should all be pissed. This is totally unacceptable. How low can they go? Maybe I shouldn't ask that. These morons will take it as a challenge.
