    what concerns me is the effect it might have in a week or two here and in all the other states where social distancing and other preventative measures have been tossed out the window.

    Sad thing is, Trumps supporters on here will look at this and be proud.

    Thing is you never know how many of those people protesting will go out to restaurants or shopping at different retail places without or before getting tested. The protests aren't going to stop anytime soon.

    It’s almost as if they don’t give a fuck.

    It's almost as if they give a great fuck to the inequalities in our country, and are willing to take that risk to bring national attention to it. At least it's not about getting a haircut and their fucking nails done.

    Jesus Christ man. These people in the media and twitter blue checkmark assholes just got done telling us we had to lock ourselves in our homes indefinitely because there was such a grave risk. People were being shamed out of grocery stores for not having a mask on. Now the same people have ditched that narrative for a new one...public gatherings???

    Watching that poor man get murdered on the street by a sociopath cop was the first real piece of information the media has allowed any of us to see in months. And the only reason they did is so there would be a war in the streets and more Covid bullshit, exactly what they want. All this shit is going down exactly as it’s supposed to.

    Next up? More coronavirus and shaming people to hide in their closets again after they were encouraged to hit the streets flash mob style.

    Are you not entertained?

    Entertained by murder and police brutality? Or entertained by shit posts paranoid about a grand conspiracy? Entertained by entitled shitheads led by the fat fuck in charge? No, none of those.
    I do very much like seeing the public gatherings to fight against police brutality and systemic racism. I wouldn't call it entertained, exactly.

    Based on what we've been watching for the past week and a half in cities across America, I'd say that's most every state. Barring a miracle, I think the second wave is going to hit on steroids.

    Don’t project racism on me because you’re too dense to understand the context of what I was saying. If you can’t fathom the irony between Covid lockdowns and nationwide public gatherings being pushed by the same people then I guess we just won’t agree. But don’t just cry racism at me because you’ve got nothing better. That’s bullshit.

    Anyways, see your ass back in the closet next month, don’t forget your fucking mask. Shit, maybe we can beg the same cops we all hate this month to enforce a lockdown next month! Maybe they’ll crack some skulls in the process. Round and round we go!

    Obviously, I just typed it.

    You got something else to say to discredit it?

    Your opinions on every topic on here actually scare me. Makes me nervous to think there are people out there who actually feel this way. You don’t live in Portland right?

    I'm actually really surprised Trump hasn't said something like this yet.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    He didn't call racism on you. The only part of his post that I could interpret as aimed at you was "shit posts paranoid about a grand conspiracy." The only place he mentioned racism was about what was being protested.

    Wow. I’m so scary now. Sorry for noticing blatant irony in the shit that’s being reported on a national level. What’s scary to me is a media that directly incites chaos. You live in a city on fire and you’re scared of the opinions of a guy who calls out the media for fanning the flames down the street from you. Sorry for being scary.

    You should be shamed out of a grocery store for not having a mask on....hell I've been in the fields picking strawberries with dozens of elderly farmers keeping our distance and wearing masks outside...non of us work for the media an most probably don't have twitter....be smart....go out and do what you need but wear a fucking mask, stay a safe distance and wash your hands.....protesters are taking a big risk, I'll give you that but unlike me, most aren't 66 with chronic heart disease...everybody needs to take public health seriously and stop thinking it's reality tv or some political conspiracy
