Remember no going to church or having lunch/dinner with your friends within 6'!

Mayor Jenny Durkan ordered Seattle’s libraries, community centers and playgrounds to remain closed through at least the end of June, as the region continues to haltingly reopen from coronavirus shutdowns.
Durkan also extended the ban on all permitted events in the city (except farmers markets) even as large, unpermitted protests have become a daily fact of life in Seattle. Durkan herself is scheduled to speak at such an event on Friday, in observance of Juneteenth, along with several other elected officials. And a Juneteenth march is expected to draw thousands of people.
Local officials have attempted to walk a tightrope in recent weeks, supportive of the protests but also wary that they could lead to larger outbreaks of COVID-19.
“The City extended the ban on permitted events in an effort to encourage residents to practice social distancing and avoid gathering,” Durkan spokeswoman Kelsey Nyland said. “At the same time, we’re experiencing a citywide, and nationwide, reckoning with police violence and systemic racism, and we are committed to allowing opportunities for residents to come together and mourn, express anger, and build community.”

That is because COVID-19 is not racist and will not attack rioters posing as protesters.
Maybe if we called our political gatherings “ anti Trump rallies” we could get together by the millions to “grieve”
How does she get away with this double standard?
She is a beyond stupid libtard determined to outdo the others in her mania.
She is going to be put out of business and soon.
So she’s discriminating on the basis of race?

I think a fair judge would find this an infringement of the right to peaceful assembly - arbitrarily based on political creed, not on science
So much for the 14th amendment’s equal protection clause.
“...How does she get away with this double standard?....”
Rabid female libs are the worst kind.
Every decision they make is based on their sheer emotions at any given time. They’e totally incapable of logic & common sense. It’s just not part of their genre. Anyone that would actually vote to put one of these emotion “time bombs” in a position of power is a damn fool...and then some.
Didn’t see THAT comin’ [/sarc]
Wealthy pervert jenny is such a fraud. She definitely has an inner fascist that is now an outer fascist. What these idiots are doing is criminal in many ways. What kind of leftist nitwits elected this tool?
No worries. She will be elected again and again. Maybe even go for governor or Senator.
“What kind of leftist nitwits elected this tool”?
The same kind who will vote for her the next time.
I know what you’re saying. Please see my tagline.
The ongoing closing of libraries and playgrounds is idiotic. Even in normal times, people in libraries are generally spread out and not all crowded in one spot. Same with playgrounds, unless you are talking about organized sports. Even then, you are associating with a small number of people, almost all of them low-risk from the corona virus.
“Equal protection under the law.”
Protesters have to do less than non-protestors. They are special.
She suffers from liberal mental disorder. The forget that criminals don't obey laws. They only inconvenience the law abiding. Gun free zones, etc
That is because COVID-19 is not racist
You are of course, right when you say that Wuhan, China Bat Virus does specifically avoid infecting people when they are protesting or rioting racism, but will aggressively seek out anyone protesting lockdowns and curtailment of business activity. We have that on good authority from health officials.
