There is a mob of idiots that are not protesting but are now rioting and endangering many. An important aside, since we are living in crazy times, where is all the worries and danger I've heard from MSM about being out in large groups and the threat of the Wuhan Virus?
I'm not making light of the rioting, I am pointing out a vital question. Why suddenly after 24/7 screaming that we are all going to die if we don't stay away from one another, is there not any similar dire fears, at least some comments about the risk of this virus when so many are out together?
Has anyone heard media even talk about this regarding this mob (on top of the obvious shock factor of the fires and rioting)?
Its probably attributable to risk recognition. Worrying about a virus is great but what is probably greater is worrying about a violent thug who is "protesting" by being violent. The looters across the nation are not demonstrating; they are stealing. I hope they catch everyone of them and enhance the charges for maximum punishment.
I understand your point, I don't understand their 180. We have shut down the world for this great fear, we've learned much more now, they've attacked all groups. I want to hear consitency.
I've watched CBC in particular for months talk about how we all have to basically stay away from even family members and loved ones dying, many haven't had proper funerals or been able to say their goodbyes, they freaked out when a bunch of young people hit the beach. There are hundreds out in Minnesota right now, strangers, yelling and spreading fluids in the air,
so I want to hear the danger again.
Now, if the threat is SO justifying of shutting down the world for two years, I want to hear the outrage about the irresponsible protesters also, they sure attack those who want to go to church or protest being locked down. Let's at least hear some acknowledgement that either,
yes, they are putting themselves in grave danger, or, "ok, we admit it, we've been messing with you all well beyond the true danger".
You want the news reporters to focus on why the guy with the Molotov Cocktail is not wearing an N95 mask...not that he has a bomb in his hand?
WOW.
No I don't. You seem to be missing my point.
I've been following the media closely, listening to the dire warnings. The message was repeated constantly, loud and clear "you CANNOT go to a church because you risk the lives of so many. You can't hang out, stores can't be open (unless you're a big box donor), you MUST stay home, because all of our live are at stake. Idiot protesters who want to save their businesses or to be free, are a vile threat to all of our health.
THAT is how serious this is."
Look around you, half the world if shut down, people have lost love ones, yes, many who couldn't say goodbye or have a proper funeral. We have businesses closed forever, most of us are forced to live by strict rules, or even a total shut down. In short, this is the most serious closing of the West in history. During the London Bombings there were probably more people outside.
Now, however, regardless of the situation or the cause, they've said nothing for two days. THOUSANDS of people out in tight groups, much yelling and spreading of germs. It wasn't like this most of the day, nor yesterday, so nobody had a molotov cocktail in their hands, yet, nobody even suggested, "hey man, remember all those warnings about not hanging out in groups? It's still on, you're all risking the lives of all of us!".
I am also going to add, I bet you would have seen a fraction of this carnage if we hadn't gone through this virus and the extreme shutdown.
