Not much here compared to the riot at the capital either, but we have to talk about something while waiting for the next big thing to argue about.

So far most of the media has not covered this story, so I can't vouch for it's veracity.

Very unfortunate but our country has been divided by hate for the last 6 years and I don’t see if getting better anytime soon.
We have become so divided that we just stopped listening.
Fix the hate and it will fix the problem.
I am not mad at anyone for their choice to be vax or not…..because it is not my place to tell you what to do with your life, just like it is not your place to tell me.

It sure would be nice if you can have open conversations with out the hate that has divided us.

How did the vaccine get so politicized?
 
I really don't understand. Trump pushed for development of the vaccine and Biden ramped up production and made it widely available. Both should be applauded for their efforts to fight the pandemic. What's political about that? I saw golf carts in TV with signs thanking Mr. Trump for the vaccine.

Somehow I think there was more to this and it was just an excuse for getting rid of his brother, honestly I am more concerned with the school shooting in Texas the other day with a hundreds of gunshots you have in Chicago and Detroit it seems every week.

So what’s your point? Anti-vaxers are violent people? I guess we forgot about BLM and Antifa riots and violence?

Did you see the picture of the guy that killed his brother? Someone should check to see who else in his family he killed

People have lost their minds.

The idea that Americans "HATE" is ludicrous. The word "hate" is misused and abused. Just because someone does not agree with you does NOT mean that they "hate" anyone. The term "hate" is just used to shut down a discussion. Just like calling someone a racist, of sexist is a means to shut down the conversation.

I am not an "anti-vaxxer" but I do believe in one's right to make a choice regarding their own well being. If they wish to decline the vaccination, so be it. How can anyone judge someone when there is all kinds of stories and studies regarding the dangers of being vaccinated? On the other hand, rushing to be first in line to get the shots when one is in fear should also not be judged.
I have my shots but I doubt (right now) that I will get a booster. And for those that scream that we should do it for other folks, the only person I would consider doing it for is my spouse. I owe no one else, and do not feel responsible for anyone else.

So, quit using the asinine terms like hate, racist, sexist, etc. It does not further a civil discussion.

It is interesting that you never mention anything the organized assaults by antifa and BLM such as the months long assault on the Portland Court house. What about the numerous times they pummeled police with bricks in major cities? They also caused billions of dollars in damages and permanent economic decline in many metro neighborhoods. And then they are bailed out by billionaires and politicians.

Organized violence is the tactic of the left wing and you know it but will never acknowledge it. Do you remember all the riot preparations made on November 3? They were not needed because your guy won. Contrast that to the violence in DC at the 2017 Inauguration.

Controversial posts can some times spark meaningful dialogue and sometimes they are just gas lighting. I wish you could distinguish between the two.

Says the person who posts a story meant to paint anyone who refuses masks or vaccines as a violent and crazy murderer.

Tens of millions of Americans who have survived covid have stronger and longer lasting immunity than the fully vaccinated. Are they anti vaxers?

85% of the virus expelled by infected individuals is contained in very fine aerosols. Surgical and cloth masks do nothing to stop these aerosols whether they are breathed out or breathed in. It is basic physics. Are people who understand basic physics anti maskers?

And not much in the capital riots compared to 100s of BLM riots featuring arson, looting, physical assault, and murder. Agenda much?

No doubt there are some legitimate. However I believe far more are "taking advantage of a crisis".

Let's not forget the hospital and clinic workers who have been assaulted by panicked family members of assumed COVID sufferers because they were not in a position to provide care for loved ones.

This blade cuts both ways.

Welcome to the world of media-induced paranoia.

Moving on...............

Looting as well , some consider it reparations.
Mayor lightfoot from Chicago said “ let them loot , the insurance companies will pay for it .”
Businesses and residents are leaving the city to the suburbs.
