And if the police do stop you are they going to throw you into the jail that they just released all the criminals out of?

Well, I am in that ‘camp’ that said the reason for ‘clearing the jails’ is to they would have someplace to put us ‘scofflaws’.

Ayn Rand must be smiling at all the BullSchiff these fools are throwing at us.....

Because if the Democrat base doesn’t get their Boone’s Farm and Night Train, they will riot and burn everything down.

I thought that too, but didn’t Pennsylvania close all their liquor stores? At least for a couple of weeks until they stated online ordering and curb side pickup? I know people were coming out with shopping carts of booze before they closed.

Much as I despise Fail Murphy, I do admit that some of the unpopular measures he has implemented in the last couple of weeks make some sense when you understand what is behind them.

They shut down the state parks, for example, after they had to deal with a flood of people at many of them with New York license plates.

Same reason liquor stores got looted in the aftermath of Katrina. Things be fallin’ apart, people need a damn drink to calm down.

Because withdrawals from alcohol causes seizures which can lead to death.

That is correct, and he did answer the question correctly. If you ever taken someone deep in the DTs to the hospital, you'd know that.

If Democrats listened to real experts, there would probably be no Democrats.

Its about lottery tickets. States are desperate for revenue, liquor stores sell huge volumes of lottery tickets.

Oh they can especially 5 days before the 16th and the 30th of the month....Frequently they seize, come in with liver failure and pancreatitis and go into DT’s. They frequently need to be restrained they are violent and need tons of Ativan and phenobarb to keep their symptoms down. Many are diabetics. They are frequently incontinent in the beginning. I know, I’m an RN in an ICU who has seen what disruptions just 4 or 5 on a unit of 32 patients can do.

To stop their drinking would be interfering with their CHOICE! Can't have that!

But I don't have the choice to deny part of my tax money to bail them out when they've drunk their way to oblivion...

To ask the question is to answer it. Find the group that cannot be criticized.
