Heavily armed white people get to march around in public yelling and making nasty comments about an elected official, the governor no less, just because they think they have the right to spread a freaking virus wherever and whenever they want. The police do nothing. Unarmed black people gather to protest the unjustified murder of a black man and the police bombard them with tear gas. Yep, white privilege.
