Extreme left, I can certainly see a a hardcore base living in this area.

I feel the use of ‘extreme’ is a bit misplaced here. Last I checked there aren’t many anti-government types finding themselves in armed disputes with BLM officers, nor are there notable swaths of the Democratic base leaning hard into communism/Marxism.

Despite the left lean, the Democratic base in MA remains fairly moderate ... which is why we have a centrist Republican Governor and Biden won the most recent primary cycle.

I know right wingers almost unanimously have trouble with reading comprehension. I mean, if they were bright enough to read well they'd probably learn something and not be right wing. That said, violence is shooting someone. Violence is attacking someone. Walking on the street and peacefully exercising first amendment rights is the exact opposite of that. It is non violence (mild) civil disobedience while protesting. Now, the right wing's reaction to those peaceful protests are very often violent. Extremely violent. But that's how right wingers work: aggression, violence, destruction. It's scary how absolutely insane those right wingers are with their violence. I hope they don't kill too many people and burn too much in the coming days.

Not my experience out here in the suburbs. Tons of cops walking around without masks. I've seen a few cops in Target with their nose hanging out.



In Southern NH over the weekend, there was an incident while I was at my grandmother's house taking care of some things and we had to call the fire department for a suspected propane leak. 3 trucks arrived and not a single one was wearing a mask. In the house is one thing - they needed to smell what we smelled - but my grandmother's house straddles a town line so the squad captains from both towns came to talk to us. They got within 3 feet of us and neither were wearing masks - I had to ask them to back up and put on a mask, and one scoffed and walked away. The other grumbled to pull a mask out of his pocket, but the second time he came out to talk to her once again he didn't wear it. My grandmother is 90 years old and they couldn't even respect her.

Once again, you ADMITTED to blocking INTERSTATE 95. That is not "walking in the street", that is reckless public endangerment. YOU could have killed people there, forget your imaginary "right wingers attacking you". Your credibility is non-existent.

omg ya'll need to stop with the mask BS. A cop has a right to stick his nose out of his mask during an 8 hour shift at target.

Be more concerned about the party throwers, mass go-ers and people who don't wash their hands.

I had a cable guy come to my house and he wasn't wearing a mask. I started to put my mask on and he said, DON't put a mask on because of me. I said, I'm going to and prefer if you would as well since you're coming into my house.

Why can't I be concerned about party goers as well as a group of four cops talking on the sidewalk, not wearing masks, near me was waiting for my to-go order this past weekend in a crowded part of the city? I shouldn't find that absurd because you are a cop apologist? Sorry, no.

Sanders and Warren combined had more votes than Biden.

Wolfgang, do you even understand what you just posted? You're showing a graph of percent positive of basically massive amounts of repeated asymptomatic college testing. That type of testing has made percent positive stats useless.

This is what you need to look at. (And I'd bet this would have looked very different 2 months ago.)
