Big-city Dems who had imposed strict coronavirus lockdowns now let George Floyd rioters flout rules
Fox News ^ | May 31 2020 | Gregg Re

The coronavirus lockdown is seemingly down and out, as many Democrats in charge of big cities -- including several who once insisted on strict quarantine measures -- line up to champion the nationwide mass demonstrations over the in-custody death of George Floyd, sans social distancing.

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo lashed out at protesters calling to reopen the state earlier this month, saying at a news conference, "you have no right to jeopardize my health ... and my children's health and your children's health." Cuomo's directives have been enforced throughout the state: A New York City tanning salon owner told Fox News he was fined $1,000 for reopening briefly last week, calling the situation "insane" and saying he already was "broke."

On Friday, though, Cuomo said he "stands" with those defying stay-at-home orders: "Nobody is sanctioning the arson, and the thuggery and the burglaries, but the protesters and the anger and the fear and the frustration? Yes. Yes, and the demand is for justice."

Thats because they want NYCto be trashed.

The only way to prevent a rapid comeback from the Covid economic downturn is to trash the two states California and NY.

It doesn’t matter. The fascists, Democrats, and globalists will keep the lock downs in place. They need to so that they can steal the fall elections. All they have to do is cry and scream about a “second wave” — which they are already doing. They are not just going to give our freedom back to us.

Arresting and fining small business owners for opening but allowing the rioter and looters space to destroy cities.
We now know it was a crock of sh##

Especially for black looters, rioters I thought they were hit hardest by the virus.

Lock down doesn’t apply

Observing U. S., and state laws doesn’t apply

Civil rights for others do not apply

Blatant racism against Whites, aOkay!

Looting? No problem.

Arson? No problem.

Taking 8’ lengths of two by four, and beating an old woman, no problem...

Closing streets? No problem.

Beating a man within and inch of his life for standing up trying to protect his business? No problem...

Destroying cars and the people in them? No problem.

-

Now, being White? A real problem.

Disagree with with any of the above, a real problem.

Arming yourself to protect yourself, a real problem in need of regulation.

Thinking your family should be spared this sort of thing? A real problem.

Thinking your business or your life should be safe, a real problem.

-

The Government actually runs cover for these folks.

Our government refuses to put an end to it.

Our government sees our losses as a safety valve.

A Black man cashes in and opens a sports bar, why he’s a part of the problem.

-

We are going to be subject to Contract Tracing.

But can you expect the government to investigate ANTIFA, follow the money and put an end to this? No.

-

I may come down with COVID-19. If so I may die.

Is that more dangerous to the public than what is taking place right now? No. But I will be the target they go after.

Yep that is what Half Whit has switched to in Mi. The rats can use it indefinitely. At what point could you say “okay we’ve done it, we stopped a second wave”? there is no specific benchmark no tangible thing you can point to and say you’ve done it. You could use the avoiding a second wave excuse for weeks, months even years.

In two weeks they’ll be saying they need at least two weeks and possibly more before they know...etc...bla bla bla.

THAT is precisely what they’ve been saying since this lie began.

This is probably why Dems pushed so hard on wearing masks...in anticipation for the riots.

In preparation for the riots.

Would I put that past the rats? Nope.

The first time I ever heard the Emergency Broadcast System,which was not a test, was this afternoon for riots in the Philadelphia area. WTF days are here. Stay OUT of cities and other urbanized areas and if you have 2A keep it ready.
