Ban protests because they violate social distancing?

A Liberatarian I know (who works for the post office no less) thinks that all protests should be banned because they violate the social distancing restrictions. I told him that would raise a SHITSTORM. He then started to trash talk ne, saying this isn’t junior high , I should tell my mommy, and I might want to take his lunch money. He then said it isn’t about Coronavirus. I think he is becoming unhinged.

and they do NOT do anything to support gay rights or women's rights. In fact they usually oppose it.

unemployment.

People being forced back to work with little or no safety precautions.

They can't have it both ways.

I support the protest !!!!!!!!!!

I am proud of the protesters.

I have seen so many brave people being abused by the police while protesting police brutality.

They are risking their lives and health for a righteous cause.
