They weren't.Sure...
They weren't.
I actually did a Google Search for that image and found the story.
Looters target Minneapolis businesses after homicide suspect takes his own life Wednesday
Basically, some internet rumor spread that a guy committed suicide because of the police. This sparked some tensions are a local mall, and some people, as of yet identified, engaged in looting.
But there was no protest. This was not some kind of scheduled event that got out of hand. To say that it was stretches the facts.
You don't get I believe the entire thing is some kind of scheduled event? Including COVID lockdowns.
I...this is kind of a poorly worded sentence, so forgive me if I respond wrongly, but if you're saying that you think this was a scheduled event...why?
I don’t doubt you think that’s going to happen. Do you have any evidence?There is this election going on.... heard of it?
I have no doubt social unrest will be used in key battleground states. Massive riots. They are going to project doubt into the election result to drum up fervor. What we are seeing now on the front end is intimidation to suppress votes. It's all planned.
Those who are afraid cannot stay home. They will starve if they stay home. I have workers call me all the time saying they are afraid to go to work and I have to tell them that if they refuse to work they will be fired and will not be able to collect unemployment. So the choice is to work, and be exposed, or to end up homeless and destitute.We've all been exposed well most of us anyway so let's see how it all plays out. Those that are afraid can stay home and the rest of us will take care of business. If those of us that don't want to hide from the virus all die off then what's the problem? You will have an all united society with no obstacles in your way.
Agreed.There is this election going on.... heard of it?

I don’t think you’re stupid. I think you’re deluded. You’re coming to strange conclusions based on little to nothing.Why do you keep asking over, and over, and over, for something you will never accept from me or my point of view? I am not uneducated. I am not some mindless idiot. We just don't agree.

It is true that developing a herd immunity happens in due course. I don't see that as a matter of policy, if it is to mean having no need for a policy.Donald Trump promoting herd mentality
“It would go away without the vaccine George,” he said speaking to ABC journalist George Stephanopoulos. “With time it goes away. And you’ll develop like a herd mentality. It’s going to be herd developed, and that’s going to happen. That will all happen.”
I think he meant herd immunity, but he repeated herd mentality more than once
Trump Says With ‘A Herd Mentality’ Covid-19 Coronavirus Will Go Away
You're thinking we'll look back on the deaths of almost a million people (and counting) as something we shouldn't have got all bothered about?
You might have noticed that the person which this thread is about did equate "not spreading panic" with "ignoring the problem".
"It will go away. Like a miracle, it will disappear. It's a hoax. Soon, there will be zero cases."
As I said - and I am sincere here - maybe you are right and the measures were/are "disproportionate".
But when you are willing to accept the dying of thousands of people because "it's only a small part of the population"... than you are not "pro-life".
That attitude began already in May and June into July, as many young adults gathered together without masks in many places.
Many health experts have thought about the idea of only vulnerable people isolating, and the rest of the population not having to distance, and this has been widely considered and then described as likely to lead to more deaths than people imagine, because 40% or so of the population is vulnerable(!), and many of them have bio choice but to work, shop, e.t.c. . It would put us up above the projected 400 000 deaths and closer to the 600,000 deaths by Jan 1 scenario it seems, above (recent post I made here in this thread).That is a completely different attitude. There is a difference between not wanting the media and government to instill panic by overstating the problem and cherry picking stats and anecdotes and being unconcerned with the consequences of one's actions in regard to others. Healthy Millennials and those younger may well gather in droves and see very little health consequence to themselves. However, if they associate with people that are older and less healthy they may cause problems for those people. I see no problem with the young and healthy coming together in large numbers as long as they isolate themselves from people that are vulnerable.
Again the problem is not that people are cautious and I do not advocate that people be incautious or disregard medical advice on masking and social distancing but the media and government have instilled irrational fear into the population by misrepresenting the actual danger involved. Causing people to refrain from doing things for which they would not be in any danger of dying from Covid if they were to do them.
