It's all part of the bigger picture of masks = the government can't tell me what to do because FREEDOM which means America is for white people. Or something like that.

It is not just the U.S., even in Canada you have anti-maskers turning on a dime and going all-out bigot.

They're out in force now. "Breathing in old air." Jackass, the reason for the mask is to mainly prevent you from sending your damn spittle into the air and on people, potentially infecting them with COVID-19.

They should have called the police early on.

US has really poor virus protection enforcement.

that passes a "must wear a mask" mandate or ordinance must enforce it. There's no hindrance to these people acting in this manner, so they do. Fine them $100 for each infraction, and if they break the mandate 3 times they're off to jail for 30 days. Governments have to put some teeth into these laws or forget enacting them. There are just too many assholes in the U.S. right now who think they decide whether they'll comply with any government mandate, or not. Trumpanzees and Covidiots are not in charge in this country, although their patron saint cheated his way into the White House. They must be shown that they're not in charge.

are vicious idiots. White power? No!!! Human power on the side of social responsibility to their fellow human being. That bullying racist woman is truly disgusting. She attacked. Assault and battery at the least. But trump will commute her jail term.

and laugh at them. I do that to people open carrying guns, too.

The funny thing is, they never get angry because they are too stupid to understand they are being mocked. They just get this puzzled look on their faces.

Way more than my last few visits(restaining my deck). They all look like these people in this thread. Defiant in their asshole-ness.

HD also took down their signs that said masks are required - even though they never enforced it.

I've have to admit that I have reached a point where i am hoping they get sick. The unfortunate part is they will get innocents sick in the process.

I'm near Corpus Christi, TX.
Numbers are growing by leaps and bounds.
But that is not the problem.
On Friday 10 Jul, is was announced the one of those take from us
was 6 month old.
Tested positive.
But the medical director [scum bar (R) ] is reporting it Sudden Infant Death [SIDS]

I was brought up not to lie.
Still remember the first time [66 now] my mom brushed my mouth out with Lava Soap, then dad got home.
You know 1-2 more times of the and I became a better liar, not really just tell the true and take the conquences.

Oh, this not the 2nd wave it the tsunami hitting from the first wave.

For those that need proof

White people are in control of this Govt.---that's power.

I also believe it's the one that must change if we are to move forward into the future.

If we don't win in Nov.....there won't be a United states of America.
We will continue on as the banana republic we are today.
It will be a total fascist hellhole. I can't believe George W. was just a warm up.

I still have my "Worst President Ever" sweat shirt,thanks Bartcop, but I can't wear a lie.

Forever!!!!!!
