1. They have a right to do this...........to go out and get exposed, and sicken, and to die.

I hope they don't take any innocent people with them.

2. No it's not!! Talking about Darwin makes it sound like they're only risking their own lives

Which makes them think their freedom gives them the right to judge the risk for themselves.

In fact, they're putting others at risk by spreading it around too fast and overloading the hospitals.

Many of the people who will die are *not* these specific *ssholes.

3. Yes, of course. But the Darwinistic part of equation is these idiots are endangering themselves

through their actions--not just the rest of us (for which they surely would not care) and they are too clueless to realize. That's the point.

protesting idiots. San Diego has about one and a half million people. They do not represent the majority of people here in California. We love our Governor and the vast majority of Californians are doing what he has asked us to do.

describing the protest as “massive”. As in this headline which describes the protest as “filling the street”, while the photo clearly shows it not filling the street.

took to the St the MSM would have nothing to say. If 100 RW nuts take to the St, its a massive protest and the whole nation is behind them. We need a new MSM one that reports the truth and the facts instead of RW BS.

9. I live in San Diego and have attended about 30 anti-tRump/GOP

protests over the past 3+ years. When I saw this on the local news yesterday and they said a "few hundred" I did laugh out loud. These are the same old, same old pro-tRump East and North County morons who love to disrupt our rallies of literally thousands of San Diegans who have a brain.

Half of them are the Proud Boys and their affiliates and they come down to San Diego in planned groups whose agenda is to incite violence, and the GOP San Diego Sheriffs Dept is on their side (they are...saw it first hand and often over the years). San Diego used to be GOP controlled and a lot of the die-hard still exist. They are the minority. Ignore them as we do with the instigators at the rallies we have been holding that support Dem issues. They ARE the minority and it is the MEDIA, both local and national, who gives them a voice.


HUNDREDS of them, that is laughable. Yawn...
