ReOpen NC death cult protesters heckle a nurse about her weight.



She was mad. She had devoted her career to advocating for patients and the vulnerable. Brown said her patients at Wake Forest Baptist Health, where she’s worked since 2015, will always be her patients. She made the trip for them.

“I kept thinking about the fact that these people (protesters) were putting them at risk,” Brown told the N&O in a phone interview on Wednesday. “Part of it I think is they don’t understand science and they aren’t maybe getting the best sources.”
----
Protesters converged on her, first attacking her weight. Some called her a strain on the healthcare system, saying obesity kills more people than the coronavirus. But she stood strong.

“I didn’t say anything,” Brown said. “I had a message, and I think it was pretty clear. I didn’t think I needed to say any words. When people are in a mob like that and they are angry and screaming, there is no reasoning with them. I wasn’t going to change their mind. I wasn’t there for them, I was there for my patients.”

Of course the right wing nasty pushing these protests say this has nothing to do with them.
Heckling care workers seems to be the new normal for the death cult. You really cannot make this shit up.

They are knowingly and willingly advocating for the spread of a deadly disease, via conspiring to commit acts that will likely spread that deadly disease themselves. I could be wrong, as im no lawyer, but I dont think its exagerating to call that murder.

Tuesday from my apartment and saw several cars going by with big flags and honking. I figured the Covidiots had come to protest.

Apparently they plan to do this every Tuesday now until the Governor relaxes stay at home. We're still adding cases and deaths and have outbreaks in nursing homes, meat plants and prisons. It's not time yet to go get haircuts and have your nails done and gather together in bars and restaurants. I hope the Governor does the right thing and extends stay at home until at least mid May. He's supposed to make a decision later this week.

They lack empathy, class, decorum, brains, and constantly do things that disrupt any type of cooperation, civil rights, and societal peace. Think about that. It encompasses all their agenda, from guns to abortion, to environment, to regional planning.

They were mocking that nurse's weight, yet look at the guy behind her. Judging by photos I have seen of all of these astroturf protests, most of them look a lot like that guy. I don't think they have looked in the mirror in a good long time. I am sorry for that nurse. She's going to have to be taking care of many of these fuckers in a couple of weeks.

like in their women -- thin with ginormous boobs, big hair and puffy lips. They shouldn't worry their pretty little second-class-citizen heads about shit like a plague.

because what they are doing will delay opening the economy. Even the bastard Koch's who backed the Tea Party are staying away from these nut jobs. The Kochs realize that listening to doctors and science is the way to reopen the economy.

I pledge this will be the first and last time I ever say anything nice about the Kochs.
