This past week, groups of protesters have begun cropping up all over the country in order to defend their constitutional right to [checks notes] get sick and possibly die from COVID-19, and probably infect their friends and loved ones and strangers, and maybe even kill some of them, too.

The specifics as to why, exactly, anyone on Earth would feel that is a worthy cause range greatly — mostly because of "MUH FREEDOM" and "tHe MeDiA" and also the "DEMON-RATS" and their "tRuMp DeRaNgEmEnT sYnDrOmE" and a whole bunch of other goofy shit that has nothing whatsoever to do with science or the health and well-being of the American populace.

Well good news: Now, Missouri is getting its very own please-let-me-die protest!

Now before we go any further, let me say: I almost didn't write this post. To a degree, I understand that a lot of these people are scared, and this willful denial of science and defiant chest-beating amount to a coping mechanism. It is far, far more comforting to believe that uh George Soros and uh I dunno "the media" is teamed up with pfffft maybe Hillary or Obama or some shit I dunno in a dastardly plot to utterly sink the economy that is responsible for all of their wealth than it is to believe that an invisible pathogen that doesn't give a fuck about you or your political leanings is legitimately and indiscriminately infecting and killing people at an alarming rate.

Exceptional! 🤣🤣🤣👍👏

Much more at link.

3. Please keep them in Missouri.

We, your neighbors in Kansas, are slowly climbing out of our Brownback stupidity. Our RW legislature is a mess and a constant hindrance and our wonderful Democratic governor is being sued by churches.

I am certain it will not be long before our teabaggers (they do not deserve to be called tea party, they named themselves exactly right the first time) get all het up about the commies in Terpika (Topeka) and do the same thing you are seeing.

Good luck to you all, been there and hate that.

6. 1) Endangering public health/safety means arrests. 2) Meanwhile, copies of Do-Not-Resuscitate orders

should be air-dropped on the demonstrators as a funny/not-funny making a point kind of thing.

7. I agree!

Hadn't thought of DNR air drop. Brilliant! Hope you enjoyed the read.

Guessing if they try this shit in IL, Pritzger will lock them up & make examples of them via rocket docket to about 20 yrs each & lots of media coverage. 👍

We native Chicago folks tend to have short fuses for bullshit. Chicago once had a mayor that fkd up snow removal ONE TIME. BOOM GONE! As it should be. ✌
