Harker
(14,029 posts)ended with him pointing an obviously loaded .357 magnum directly at my face.
lagomorph777
(30,613 posts)That's enough for a pretty long jail term.
Harker
(14,029 posts)The Boulder PD pulled him over driving very drunk with the pistol under his seat.
I'm sure he spent a little time in the cooler, but I don't recall the details. Three people were protected by a restraining order, also.
It was all about an unrelated beef he had with a friend of mine. He had previously sounded me out regarding my feelings about guns, thus was sure he could menace me feloniously without my having one.
Not fun.

(111,302 posts)Trust me, a nurse who has seen that much unnecessary death while a sanctimonious jackass runs the government while the pious mouth garbage like "god's punishment for sin," is far more dangerous than any stupid gun.

(244 posts)This should become a theme/meme. Probably worth its own discussion thread. It's time to change the perception of people who carry guns. They aren't tough and that's why they carry guns.

THAT alone is very telling, isn't it.......
There is a list of things they could be charged with; unlawful assembly, harassment, verbal assault, etc etc etc
I wish I had known of this, I would have thrown on some scrubs and gone down to join them. And alerted a bunch of fellow health care workers that would have been glad to join in...........
I imagine they won't be quite as bold if they are surrounded in a sea of green scrubbed counter protestors.
And the husband stayed well hidden.....real brave man......

Salviati
(6,008 posts)... I think we also need to hear more from the survivors, people who have gone through this horrible ordeal of being on a ventilator for weeks and come out the other side, we need to hear from those left behind by those who believed fox 'news', didn't take this seriously enough, and are now dead.
We have already reached all we can through logic and sensible thinking, of those we haven't reached yet, maybe we can reach the ones who are not completely lost through the emotion of the visceral tales of human tragedy that this pandemic is writing.
Maybe I'm just not watching the news shows that cover things this way, I certainly hear about these people and these stories, but I haven't really heard much from them yet...

Time they SHOULD have been able to spend helping others, or, heaven forfend, take a breath? Our nurses were deprived by the raucous lemmings disturbing a hospital zone??? Where in the f'ing hell were the cops??

I really think that the state and local governments are too intimidated to take the necessary actions.
People who protest by blocking access to hospitals need to be arrested and charged, and have their vehicles towed and impounded. There's absolutely no excuse for allowing this bullshit.

(36,745 posts)generalbetrayus
(507 posts)but one of the pictures shows the intersection of 12th and Grant Streets in Denver. There is no hospital at that location. That location is a couple of blocks from the Colorado state capital building; the protest was scheduled to block off the state capital building, not any hospital. Good on the nurses, nevertheless.

(72,005 posts)I found this, this a.m.
Remarkable scene at 12th and Grant, where two healthcare workers from a Denver-area hospital they declined to say which or give their names are standing in the crosswalk during red lights as a reminder, they say, of why shutdown measures are in place.

backscatter712
(26,355 posts)I think every one of the smoothbrains that shows up at those astroturf "protests" should be arrested, charged with reckless endangerment on top of violating the stay-home order, and given a penalty (in terms of fines and days in jail) roughly equivalent to the penalty for DUI in Colorado. Typically, after fines, jail time, lawyer fees, court fees, fees for everything from car ignition interlocks to ankle bracelets, etc., a DUI here will typically set you back well over $10,000. That seems like proportional punishment for endangering not only themselves, but countless others.
backscatter712
(26,355 posts)In downtown Denver, Denver Health (one of the major hospitals) is only a few blocks away though. I'm not sure if the idiots in Denver were dumb enough to block Denver Health or one of the other hospitals.

rownesheck
(2,343 posts)the great purge of 2020. The normal people on the side of science and reason will survive this. Unfortunately, we will have several people die due to the stupidity of the magats. I'm thinking the idiots who deny science and have no critical thinking skills to understand they are being manipulated by dark forces on social media, will suffer mightily. It's like planet earth realized there are entirely too many dangerous and stupid humans and decided to snap her fingers.

Here are nurses in Colorado blocking the intersection so that these irresponsible asshats can't move forward and endanger more lives. The level of badassery from nurses never ceases to amaze me.
