Saw several posts mocking protesters. Is anyone surprised that is happening? And in many cases, I support the protesters. We have a father being arrested for playing catch in an empty park. Church goers were fined $500 for listening to a sermon in their car via the radio with windows rolled up. Michigan banning gardening sales (although many sources/people will tell you that isn’t true because the ban only prevents stores bigger than 50,000 square feet from selling gardening supplies, but what stores smaller than that sell it and are open?). All while I can stand in line to buy beer and lottery tickets. It’s not about saving lives when a mayor says you can’t listen to a sermon in your car 20 feet away from any other car but then says go ahead and stand in that line to buy a lottery ticket. And the list of ridiculous bans and enforcement grows every day.
So if someone wants to protest because their business was shut down or because they got a $500 ticket for listening to a sermon while they watch people line up to buy alcohol across the street, I won’t blame them.
The CEO of this hospital sent out an email that on the week of the 24th of May every employee will receive a check for $2400 and i week of paid PTO , pretty classy I’d say this hospital is not a state run hospital...
Stay at home. Not that difficult to understand. I agree that the booze selling is something that should not be considered essential. Those people should stay at home too.

They definitely have legitimate gripes, but I think the way they went about it is counterproductive. Blocking streets, big crowds, etc. Takes the attention away from the crazy stuff you referenced and puts it squarely on their actions.

I think you are lending your thinking brain to some real empty heads. If you watch these protests they are full of people without 2 brain cells to rub together. Just another opportunity to strap on the retail tactical gear and stick it to the libs.

yup. We are not hearing any well reasoned debates from these yahoos.
Not all heroes wear capes if I was there I’d be standing 6’ from him in unity as for that vile idiot that passes for a woman is a creep all of this is the Baffoons fault !
I agree with the first part. But saying people like this woman didn’t exist before 2016 is just not true

I agree with your point. But have you ever seen an effective protest that consists of 2 or 3 people spread out? If they weren’t doing that stuff no one would take. Price. By doing it they are putting the attention on them and not the protest. Catch 22 I guess.

I didn’t say that only that it’s the Baffoons fault he’s instigating it every day! Yeah racist like her have been around for as long as this country has been around ..

At a bare minimum, I'd say don't block roads and cover your faces. I agree that it would be tricky to properly distance.
We don't know what the crazed woman in Colorado is going through (job loss, etc.). But we do know that what the medical professionals are going through is harrowing and if they see these protests as amounting to "heighten the curve and bring more people to the hospitals" I don't blame them. Kudos to this guy. And it's courageous...because I would not have been surprised if the driver had just floored it. (and then been acquitted).

I’ve seen far more examples of protests without the use of any gear. Many more are using their cars to social distance or holding up signs.

While I’ve seen examples of people not doing that, I’ve seen more examples of people following social distancing while protesting too. That’s why people are protesting from their cars. And on the streets most of the time it looks like small groups of 2 or 3 spread out, which I assume to small group are from the same household. So again social distancing. Not all, but it seems like most. And I don’t blame them, if I had a business that was about to go under and lose my way of living that I thought could be saved, I’d probably protest too. There seems to be very little thought and reason into what is considered essential or not.
Haven’t read all of this thread but anyone talk about the positive environmental impact of Covid-19?
its an upside.
It's temporary so any impact will be negligible in the long run. Also, if I were an environmental activist, I'd be careful about associating upside with a time when people are sick, miserable, and/or suffering financially.

The morning news said there was a record number of sea turtles laying eggs on the beach because of the virus. I though exactly what you just said.

I completely agree. There are a lot of people who think they a essential, when there are plenty of reasons why they are not. Must be a real blow to the ego when people realize they are expendable to a functioning society.

Whatever is being saved in one regards, is being destroyed in another. The amount of personal waste being generated right now has to be astronomical. All of the masks, plastics and everything else being used to disinfect and clean is going straight to landfills. Yes, animals are probably getting a little more freedom these days though so I guess that is a bonus. Might also just mean more inadvertent deaths from cars and people once the battles resumes between the beasts (human and wild).
