Protests

[real chili 83]

Ugh.

[pbiflyer]

I ignore pretty much every opinion that starts with "the media."

But that being said, these protests are not being covered responsibly.  They are statistically insignificant. Coverage of these has been intended to fan conflict where it doesn't really exist, and its working.  A handful of losers show up to these, they get covered as legitimate movements, liberals get worked up and start value-projecting like damn disco balls, and then more people show up to "own the libs."  All of a sudden it looks like a real thing and pols trying to make a name for themselves by owning the libs have the political cover to do what they were always going to do anyway.  Makes nihlism look like an attractive option.  At least it has the meats.

I thought it was appropriate, given the Arby's reference.

Isn't that true of many protests?

No, the protestors don't represent a significant portion of the population. The problem is their abject stupidity will get people sick and potentially kill them. It will potentially adversely impact progress that has been made. We've seen how this virus can and will spread. It's insidious.

There's no excuse for the behavior of these people. If they were just going to thin their own ranks I honestly wouldn't care. But that's not reality.

Make a compelling fact based case that the federal response has been timely and adequate.  Please.   Make a compelling case that having a mob in a time of social distancing is wise health choice.  Please.

This has been asked of people repeatedly.  And then promply ignored.

I had never heard that phrase before...and now after Googling it I am sorry I did.

[StillAWarrior]

...and now after Googling it...

Oh no!

[TSmith34, Inc.]

I'd just go ahead and delete your search history now if I were you

Rocky,

So, when are you going to hit Hards with the ban hammer?  He's way over the top and a weee bit paranoid too.  He has zero tolerance and sees the ghost of Chico's around every corner.

I get it, he was worried about his parents, and apparently has a business to worry about.  He's having a tough time right now.

There have been others, from both sides, who reconciled some differences on the board today. Hards...he continues.

Sorry little buddy, you all offended?  You just showed up a few days late to the pissing match to call for a ban?  Grow up, snowflake.

The heat died down, and you came with the gasoline.  I think your friend can defend himself and his actions without ganging up on me.

[Hards Alumni]

Also, Cheeks isn't around every corner.  He's just one guy with at least WarriorDad as a second account.

I'll drop it since it bothers people.

Can I ask why you are only pumping Hards in here and not ZFB? He's been just as unhinged and insulting and Hards. Is it a similar views thing? Do you know one and not the other? I'm just curious why you aren't playing it both ways here.

Gents - move along.  RC & I have taken this offline - no need to keep piling on.

I'm not unhinged or insulting, unless attacked first (except for jockitch.)  Hards has been hysterical about this from day one.  Hards is the one that asks dumb questions, and gets bent out of shape when the answers don't fit his myopic world view.  Hards is attacking everyone.

Why are you pumping me and not hards?  Is it because you are as myopic as Hards in your world view too?  Do you know Hards?  I'm just curious why you aren't playing it both ways here.
