Protesters jammed Beacon Street in front of the Massachusetts State House today chanting “End the shut down now,” and calling on the governor to remove restrictions on businesses and individuals in response to the coronavrus pandemic.
The crowd, standing shoulder-to-shoulder, spilled into Beacon Street prompting cops to shut down vehicle traffic in the area.
“The country is being shut down and its really hurting a lot of people and causing more devastation than we realize,” said Stoneham resident Susan Dawson. “Businesses, people are losing their livelihood.”

Frank Langer a plumber from Middleboro said, “this is all because they want to get Trump out of there — they think if they tank the economy, they can get a Democrat back in.”
Are they wearing their Masks ?
If you folks voted for Democrats, no sympathy. You party has taken all of this SO far, the only way for you to get forgiveness is vote them all out all at once or, you know what them.
Good!
Ping!
Not in the photo at the link. Mandatory on Wednesday and thereafter if people are nearby as I understand, that is until the next memorandum.
What devastation? Did you not drink the FR coolaid? If you comment that the economy is going to have serious problems, you better be in something fireproof.
Good. It has to start sometime. I am sure our overlords would love it if we never touched again.
Uh oh, the liberal mask police will have a fit.
Right you are!
Yeah...
Trump said the States should be reopened in stages, putting safety first. These unconstitutional acts began with him.
Trump thinks he can get this economy going after a transitional month of May! Larry Kudlow said exactly that. These State closings are his fault, he should be saying every State should be opened immediately, the Hospital crises has been fixed! Why are we still seeing the 2 Dr.Dooms on the platform?
I believe that if they don’t open the country up right away, we will go into a severe economic decline that will take several years to correct.
That starts tomorrow doesn’t it?
The problem with all of this is that the money already lost is not coming back. Orders for manufacturing has stopped. Shipping has stopped.
Services will run OK for a month, but they will start to die as the manufacturing unemployment will not start up fast enough to keep it going.
We are an inclined plane wrapped around a vertical pole.
I sure hope that global economic depressions build a lot of character.
I was speaking to a koolaid drinking MassHole relative on the phone, who assured me all these people who are “worried” about the economy are incredibly selfish and will kill Granny to get their nails done or hair cut.
She’s rich and lives in a mansion with Pelosi style refrigerator freezers and plenty of cash to not have to worry.
Meanwhile, the little people not only have to worry about money, but if they’ll even have food on the shelves when they go to buy it.
I tried to talk some sense into her by patiently explaining that these people don’t have her wealth and live paycheck to paycheck. She got all indignant! “Didn’t these people just get $1200? Geesh, they need to try not to spend it on junk food, maybe? Anyway, the government can feed them.”
Now seriously, who is really selfish?
