Oh my. Firsts they protest ignoring social distancing and than destroy something that might be helpful in saving their lives.

As the old saying goes, cannot fix stupid.

I'm trying really hard to stay neutral and support these protestors...but they are really stretching it with all the damage that they are doing, for what damn reason???? It's their own damn neighborhoods that they are trashing

That behavior does not surprise me. Stupid cannot be fixed. That it has been allowed by government to run rampant and violent for so long does. Again, stupid cannot be fixed.

I do not understand why the local govt's are allowing the destruction and criminality to continue

We have been becoming increasingly permissive with no respect or discipline and now it is out of control.
Federal/state/local leadership will no longer do anything that MIGHT offend anybody. The usual position is to wait and it will go away.

This time....maybe not. At least not until the silent major stands up and demands enough is enough.

Many of the personal sacrifices millions of Americans have endured since early last March will very likley be undone by the total lack of respect given to the threat of Covid-19 by the protests going on. Many states will arrest or fine people for having gatherings of more than 15 plus people, but it's OK for thousands of people to dangerously gather to protest and destroy neighborhoods and the livelihoods of businesses, and that's somehow OK. Go figure?

Haha good luck finding a place to be tested here, even my 2 doctors could not get tests !! The numbers reported are full of very horrifying inaccuracies .

Excuse me . So protestors and rioters are one in the same ? Just the fact that all pandemic rules were not followed is similar to committing murder ? Isn’t that what we where told ?

MOMOH 06-11-2020 05:48 AM

If the media started covering the peaceful protests instead of the riots we might feel better about things. But that is boring news so it doesn't make it. The media could change the whole tenure of a story if they cared to. Bad behavior makes headlines. Have you ever read a story about it being a beautiful sunny day? Nah...

The arrests being made by the police in the areas where places have been destroyed including the police station and in KY are young white males affiliated with the White Nationalist terrorist. You have not point.

Well, protestors during the day, rioters and looters at night. I wish they would keep their day jobs.

Windguy 06-11-2020 06:14 AM

It’s amazing how easily people are swayed by media with a bias. The headline said testing sites were destroyed by protestors. They were not destroyed by protestors—they were destroyed by rioters. The vast majority of protestors do not riot, but it doesn’t fit their agenda of demonizing the protests to put it that way.

If this story made you angry and hate the protests even more, you’ve been conned.
