A protest organizer in South Carolina said future demonstrations coordinated by his advocacy group will canceled until further notice, after about a dozen people who participated in recent rallies tested positive for the novel coronavirus.

"Some of our leaders, photographers and protestors have tested positive for COVID-19," said Lawrence Dishawn Nathaniel in a video announcement shared to Facebook on Sunday.

All Dems mayors and governors, who locked down small businesses, beaches, parks, etc, will now have to lockdown all protests if they say they care about saving lives.

Nope, cant do this as he apparently didn’t do this when small businesses were under lockdown and big box retailers were pretty much given free reign.

Good. If one can protest, one should be able to do whatever else he/she/it wants to. Just don't go to church!

Again, Whatever else he/she/it wants to do. Just do it and just don't go to church!

Mayor Knox White supported the protest. The same mayor that is requiring mask now. If he was really concern with public safety he would have said no to the protest.

“George Floyd had coronavirus. He really couldn’t breath.”

That is what a cocktail of drugs mixed with a little coronavirus would do to you.

More people being sick is a GOOD thing for Democrat mayors, in Texas they blame the Republican governor and “opening the state”.

Also they need continued spread to continue their push for mail in ballots for all (so they can harvest votes)

“People have gathered to protest systemic racism and police violence in cities across the United States and abroad”

I thought they were protesting against paying for goods and open businesses. At least that’s often the end result.

Hey dbogs. Stay home. We wont miss any of you one bit.

I meant dbags.

Looks like their Charlie Foxtrot now has their own “Judean People’s Front.” Sounds like they couldn’t even manage a free junkyard.
