Run them over, it’s what they would have done, right?

As a fellow who's being badly damaged by the lockdown, I can certainly understand the frustration those folks are feeling. I don't agree with what they're doing, but I sure as hell understand the anger.

 

[MomentsofSanity]

so... if I understand this right... their goal of causing gridlock is only impacting the people deemed essential and actually going to work and the first responders.... have I got that right? Sparrow, the main trauma hospital in Lansing is right where they've decided to do this.

One part of me would like to not see our family business go under.

A far larger part of me doesn't want to bury my parents via Zoom.

I understand frustration but that's not what I see depicted.

This is another round of people losing their shit over being prevented from dying.

Let them die, it’s clearly what they want. You can’t protect people who don’t want to be protected.

It's one of those deals where there is no win win, no happy ending, and no good answers.

Not dying is a pretty happy ending compared to dying.

True enough, but losing your business and your income in the process isn't a whole bunch of fun either.

Blocking access to a hospital during a pandemic and extending the length of that pandemic is not a good way to ensure the survival of your business.

I see your point but really?? I think we're way past the economics of this situation. At this point, fuck money and the economy for now. Health comes first. I can't believe this has to be said. So I agree, let them get sick and they'll be dealing with the consequences. It's just careless.

Yup, conservatives were perfectly fine running people over who would dare block traffic in the past, oops.

On Wednesday, the Michigan Conservative Coalition protested Gov. Gretchen Whitmer's stay-at-home order during a noon rally.

Say no more. Hey you fucktards, want to violate the stay at home order? Go volunteer at a hospital overflowing with COVID-19 patients. Won't do that will you chickenshits?

The one thing you can count on from conservatives, being on the wrong side of almost every issue.

 

[IronWing]

We've reached the point where folks are running out of money/credit/food. People ain't going to stay home and starve. Grocery stored here are already adding security guards. We can expect a lot of civil unrest.

So your assertion here is that only conservative business owners are losing income and businesses? Interesting.

One news anchor said he now knows where the Tea Party garb went as he saw many wearing the same stuff.

Tea Party? I thought those folks were sponging off disability anyway? Why do they care about unemployment?

Know what would be a meaningful protest? Surrounding the White House and demand widespread testing

Haha, morans.

 

[HomerJS]

So then they go home to their kids infect them and we eliminate future Trumpers?

Darwin at work. I'm out of fucks to give to them

Always fun to see MI making headlines like this
/s

We have one of the worst outbreaks and people don't understand asymptomatic carriers. I'd say leave them to their own devices if it weren't for the impact to others. Sigh
