"I object to the way they went about this, but it’s not exactly hounding people out of their homes, rounding them up and locking them up in a concentration camp."

How much of a step is it from "the hotel serves people who don’t have a place of their own" to rounding them up and jailing them for defying Inslee?

I can quote chapter and verse that the SS guards at Dachau thought that they were helping create a greater Germany. The families of the guards at Auschwitz KNEW they were serving the Common Good.

Apparently, your gag limit is pretty resistant.

Freedom is overrated.

There is a regional hospital in my city. Several hotels here are part of a system that houses patients from outlying counties who come to the hospital for daily outpatient treatments, like cancer treatments or dialysis. It’s a very nice thing. They voluntarily stay at these hotels. Partially funded by various charities, donations to the hospital for that purpose and by the hotels themselves.

The people staying at the Lakeside Inn go there voluntarily. It is a HUGE step from offering a place to sick people with nowhere else to go and arresting people and forcing them to go there.

No one’s freedom is being constrained. No one has been seized by the Gestapo and forcibly locked up. The people there are free to leave anytime they wish. Hardly Auschwitz. Nothing to hyperventilate about.

If they start arresting people and forcing them, then we can all get out our pitchforks and torches, and I will enthusiastically show up with mine. Right now, it’s much ado over nothing.
