1. Stupid is just stupid. nt

[mikeysnot]

2. United States of Assholes

[True Dough]

3. Where are those police with rubber bullets

who don't hesitate to fire off rounds during BLM protests?

[RockRaven]

9. The cops are probably too busy joining the rioters to oppose the rioters...

[elias7]

15. Cops are definitely sympathetic

-Leading cause of death among cops is Covid
-Clearly have enabled these protesters (and the 1/6 protesters) compared to BLM protesters
-Had two cops come into the ER where I work (New Hampshire) couple nights ago fully and proudly unmasked, despite signs and norms. We had to tell them to mask up.

4. Guessing they were not arrested

Which is simply an invitation for more anti-social behavior.

20. BLM or liberals weren't involved so probably not

[SheltieLover]

21. Right!

[MustLoveBeagles]

22. It sucks

There are different rules for different people.

[SheltieLover]

23. So wrong on so many levels!

[Steelrolled]

5. I wonder if things are going backwards.

I know of people who now regret getting the COVID-19 vaccine and say they will never get another.

The fact that so many people will give up their job over it tells you about the level of conviction.

We may have reached the useful limit of pressure.

10. LOL.

[Hortensis]

11. The vast majority of people are getting vaccinated and keeping

their jobs. Very few comparatively are losing them, and most of those are retiring, don't value their jobs, or otherwise don't have to work.

This is a messy handling of an unprecedented civil disorder, but otherwise necessary practice for when the next deadly epidemic disease threatens. Which is inevitable, and sooner rather than later. Many of those epidemiologists fear are far more deadly than SARS2, and/or target children, but with any luck at all tRump will not be president when it or they arrive.

6. Can we call them New Berserkers?

Or something like it?

[BlackSkimmer]

7. Morons. nt

8. Literally nothing better to do than act like fucking babies having tantrums

because someone they like can't do something somewhere for their entertainment purposes.

[Auggie]

12. Some people just need a good spanking and a time out ...

Spanking courtesy of your friendly neighborhood judge; time out in the friendly neighborhood county jail.

[MissMillie]

13. can't imagine where they got the idea to do that (/sarcasm)

Seriously... 1/6 defendants are being sentenced to small fines and a few days of house arrest FOR ATTACKING THE U.S. GOVERNMENT.

I'm betting the thugs at the Barclay's Center figure they'll get off w/ even less.

14. It's A Second Pandemic

That people like MTG get enough votes to get elected is frightening....that enough people saw and listened to her and thought sounds good to me is startling and almost beyond belief.

[blm]

16. Chaos Opportunists.

Like Proud Boys at School Board Meetings.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

17. This is nuts

[underpants]

18. I don't see any cops just security

This is just ridiculous

[Red Mountain]

19. Gathering places need to be rethinking security along these lines

metal barricades need to need to be taller and fixed in place.

Think more 'zombie hoard' than 'fan/customer'.
