Thousands of stickers at the Tulsa rally removed
 

The stickers that were removed were stickers promoting social distancing. I kid you not. Just saw this on the news. I won't say who ordered those stickers to be removed.

What I want to know is WHY???? Coronavirus numbers are spiking in America and not promoting social distancing is sending the wrong message to Americans. Someone, please explain this rationale to me.

And this is an issue? Kind of like removing no parking posters on a street that were placed there for a parade. After the parade, they are removed.

The stickers were removed BEFORE the rally. What does that tell you?

You can read a detailed (but incomplete) explanation of events here, including a short video capture of someone taking the stickers off the seats prior to the rally.

It simply defines who or what is the priority.

It was done so that the crowds could be encouraged to cluster together (which they did).

Again, it simply defines the priorities.

Ahhhh.................always speaking in tongues..........

Let's just skip the excuses. No rallies should be held during a pandemic. It's completely irresponsible to do so.

It’s past time that People take personal responsibility for themselves. They should not need stickers. What is needed is common sense.

Perhaps they feared there wouldn’t be as many people as originally thought and attendees smooshed together looks like more than sitting in every third seat? Then again, making rational sense would be unique wouldn’t it?

3 guesses, the first 2 don't count.

Who cares? You need a sticker to tell you to social distance?

I believe they were removed BEFORE the rally started. Issue.

Life is all about choices, some good, some not so good, but they still remain OUR choice.

Why do so many want to blame someone else for what happens to them? We all know the virus is out there, if your not staying locked down that is YOUR CHOICE and if you get it, your fault. Or should you blame a sticker?

That includes protests! Correct?

humm another deep thinker and well educated person among those that know the real story.

Focusing on one area only ?
 

How about all the protest not social distancing. It’s a problem everywhere. You can’t complain unless you include all areas.

Using this rational, then all pools, golf, squares, restaurants, churches etc. and anywhere people gather, should also not be allowed. What really is needed is a dose of common sense.

I guess people in Tulsa would think that there was some kind of magic pixie dust in the arena if they didn't see stickers. Of course, never mind that they had to sign a release that they wouldn't hold the campaign liable were they to contract the virus. Yeah, no one would have made a connection to risk doing that. They received masks, hand sanitizer and got temperature checks upon arrival.

Here's a guy sitting in the upper deck at the rally. Take a look at the spacing between seats - even with an empty seat next to him. There's no way that's anywhere near 6' of distance between every other seat.

Look, I wouldn't go to a rally like this now, myself. And no, I don't think it's wise nor prudent to hold an indoor rally right now. People made their choices. And obviously, notwithstanding some digital hacking, many people opted not to go.

I also wouldn't be marching around with thousands of other individuals during this time, either. But hey - we all know that's more important, so a pass is given -particularly in the media. Cue the "but they're outside!" mantras. Well, if that's the prevailing point of view, then to be consistent people must necessarily agree that outside political rallies are fine, too.

Please, no more protest.
 

All gatherings need to stop NOW. We are killing our own people. For God sakes the only way you as an individual are going to make any change at all is to get yourself registered to vote in November. Change out all of the leaders who have fought against common sense rulings. The Constitution was NOT written by our forefathers to cover mass killings. It was however written to let its' citizens protect themselves and their families from danger. Danger my folks is here. It is your responsibility to wear the mask so if YOU have the virus you don't give it to someone else. I would love to grab some of these wise mouth people and have them bring their parents, grandparents, aunt, uncles and close friends into a room. Then the unmasked person would be told that they had the virus. At that point that person would need to decide which one of their relatives or good friend they want to give the virus to because there is a very good chance that relative will die from it or get so deathly ill they wished they had died. You may be the next mass killer in our state. PS: I have a friend who died from this virus recently and he died all alone and never heard or saw his family and friends again. How awful is that?

Well, it's called "survival of the fittest". Those who don't have enough grey matter to adhere to the recommendation regarding social distancing will eventually be thinned from the herd, leaving a better life for those with enough common sense to follow the guidance.
Let them do as they please, and good riddance. Thank you Mr. Darwin.

You are so correct. All of these riots and marches here in the central part of Florida (especially TV) have really done us in. I think that the marches and burning of buildings last night was the worst here yet. How about our government not doing their job and protecting its' people. Cover your darn mouth because you may be a mass killer in disguise.

And no protests should be allowed during a pandemic!

Distance?
 

Viruses don't know distance. It knows how to kill. Work in the science field and learn the facts before you open up your mouth. Should any of you have the virus please by all means keep it in your family and leave the rest of us alone. You decide which of you family member will contract the virus from YOU and you must tell them to their face you are looking to pass it on to them. Smile, you just took down your mother. Are you happy now?

No protest should be held during a pandemic either. To think a protestor can not get the virus but a rally goer can is about as biased as one can get.

I wonder if it is a clue that the latest spike in the numbers is from the younger crowd.

Hmmmmnnnn.....beaches/protests.....younger people.....no masks....no social distancing.....younger people.....

Maybe when enough of them bring it home to their Mom or Dad or Grand parents they might wake up.......nah......that obviously does not matter to the radicals.

Hey look! There’s seat in the nose bleed section, let’s sit there!

Sorry.
 

Sorry, but common sense doesn't exist. If it did, we would all be on the same page on this issue and all others as well.
Stay safe. Stay healthy.

Everyone has common sense. The problem is so few use it that we are headed for another lock down, or partial one. Bars are already being hit. Those who won’t wear masks or social distance (the ones who are causing it) will be the loudest complainers about it too. Go figure.

But so many people do not have common sense and also do not know how to think for themselves or figure out how to do something (sheep).

Come on people..it's in the constitution, we have the right to be stupid.
US has 4% of the world population and over 25% of the deaths. We are paying for our greatest economy( lie) with human lives

Yes, they did need stickers. What I saw was shoulder to shoulder with no empty seats in most of the lower level.

I abhor the message that is being sent that social distancing is not necessary. THAT is the issue here.

This is politics... common sense doesn't apply.

Wait a second, ......uhh, just a minute.......hmmmm.................WHO CARES?

I don't see anyone complaining about the REAL source of the surge in infected........THE BLACK LIVES MATTER protests. Didn't see any social distancing in any of the news feeds. Yes, mainstream media news feeds.

Like I said.............WHO CARES? Do you need someone to tell you/instruct you to social distance or wear a mask? If you don't wish to participate because you might get infected, ....then DON'T participate. No one is ordering anyone to gather in a group.

Time to get over pointing fingers at others. Some folks are always looking for a little white cross in a front yard to complain about, when others don't even notice them.

Ironically, I also noticed someone also pulled up the stickers on the streets of American cities telling people to socially distance and stay 6 feet apart. But, that does not fall in line with the OP's point,I guess!

Ok no protests riots first

Exactly.

I'm outraged about stickers and social distancing at a rally with a few thousand people.

Millions walking shoulder to shoulder while chanting and screaming. Crickets

Selective outrage is comical.

But you can have a riot of thousands of people?
