Resist The Authoritarian Response To The Coronavirus

[Badger]

This minor (don't lie and claim otherwise) pandemic has served as a wake up call.
The vast majority of humans are blithering fools, willing to enthusiastically get down on their scrawny knees and pray to their government to strip from them of all of their invaluable freedoms and liberties, simply because the government narrative states that it "must be done" to "keep you safe." Americans, unfortunately, are not exempt from this.
I have been shocked and appalled by how so many people are coming out as being little more than thoughtless media drones. This is roughly equally true of people on the right and the left. No critical thinking, no reasoning, no rationality. Just brain-dead hogs who will gladly be dragged along by the nose ring to the slaughterhouse. Cheering and commending their killers all the way.
What's even worse is that they will not be contempt to lose merely their own freedom, but will bully and harass their fellow citizens into also giving us up. This whole event has been a sick frenzy, fueled by depraved, sub-human leaders and abetted by armies of millions of mindless dolts.
The lot of you have no respect for liberty, and it's a wonder this nation has managed to maintain any vestige of it for so long. Our actions, our rhetoric, bears absolutely no respect or love for anything that makes us free, that makes us American.
We really are no different than our ancestors -- human nature never changes. It's times like these that make this inherent truth so crystal-clear. You -- you, America -- are nothing more than bottom-feeding, self-loathing rodents, practically demanding slavery. We're no different than the Russian peasants who installed a government which would go on to exterminate millions of their own. One can hope that we or our descendants do not some day meet a similar fate, but there is little evidence to suggest that we will not.

Honestly this country might as well close up shop and abandon all pretense of governing with basic human decency and honoring basic natural rights. We are nothing. Bring on eternal martial law and dictator Nancy Pelosi because some folks are coughing and a few people in some nursing homes passed away.

Someone needs a big hug.

Seems weird the First citation was for an abortion protestor, Suspicious at the least and could show abuse of the order to go against certain types of speech, although not certain.

We had Bernie Sanders protesters driving around City Hall repeatedly last week and blasting their horns. Didn't see anything happen to them for failing to Stay at Home.

(They were issued moving violations for intentionally blocking the roadway. But nothing to do with the SaH order while they were hanging out their cars.)

The mayor didn't announce prosecution for further violations of the stay-away order, after one warning, until Friday. Since you said this occurred last week, presumably it was prior to Friday, or if on Friday constituted their one warning (just like this protester received).

Still, I may be pro-choice, but I'm also a big believer in civil rights and the existence of selective prosecution, even buy left-wing governments. Reading this story it smells like a very fishy prosecution.

Looks like forumlurker called the cops on a family in a park leading to several cops getting all over a father to arrest him (before immediate release.

I hope every one of these pigs ends up on a ventilator.

Dude, really?

Total BS arrest, for which these cops deserve seriously disciplined/ suspended, if not fired, depending on their prior disciplinary history (or lack thereof). I too am seriously angry watching this video and reading the story, as the cops were unquestionably outside the boundaries of the law here.

But hoping that they wind up on ventilators? Get some perspective.

this is what happens when you call the cops, which is why I find it so weird how happy so many people are in the other thread to proudly call the cops on everybody they see breaking quarantine.

No, that is incorrect. This is what happens when you call the cops and the cops happen to be completely incompetent.
