Oh for goodness' sake how dramatic. I don't have an issue with protesting per see, but when you're protesting shutdowns because of a global pandemic, perhaps it would behove you to demonstrate you have some understanding of what's going on by not cramming your fat arses into a small space like a can of sardines.

Doesn't exactly inspire confidence in reopening.

If you haven't done so already, you might want to invest in learning the Chinese language. The only thing keeping us safe, is the show of arms, that lets our rivals know what they are up against ... if this economy collapses, this virus will be the last thing on any one's mind. Make no mistake, they don't call them ancient civilizations, because they still exist.
PS: Congress is writing checks now, that their arse can't cash.

I dont know if storm is the right word. You basically had a bunch of fat obese single white men looking for attention make a scene by waddling into a govnt building in order to convince themselves they are relevant beyond their pornhub accounts. The rest of the silent majority of Americans shook their head and felt sorry for them

Oh right, because they're white, they don't really want it to exist.
Social justice warriors are A virus upon freedom. Thankfully this white man has the freedom to ignore this nonsense.

You're right they petitioned their government and to insure they could, they exercised their second amendment right and you have a problem with that?

Now is the time one should ask themselves are they more valuable to their government dead or alive? However, if one does not know why to ask that question --- all of it is lost on them, just as it is lost on them to defend the Constitution from all enemies foreign and domestic.
