Some real profiles in leadership when a crisis exists.

In NYC of all places.

Morons.

"To help contain the spread of COVID-19, the city social service agency had plastered bluntly worded signs at the entrances of welfare offices across the five boroughs: “In order to enter this building, you must wear a face-covering or a mask.....”

"......The change apparently stems from two incidents within the last 10 days at a Bronx welfare office where clients refused HRA workers’ instructions to cover their faces or accept free masks that were offered.

Both were ejected after HRA peace officers intervened. One was issued a summons after allegedly threatening to kill the officers....."


".....The report offered this account: Workers at the entrance offered Gaddy a free mask. He refused to take it and proceeded to the second-floor reception area. Workers there told him he had to wear a face covering or they could not help him.

He became “irate,” and HRA peace officers were summoned, the report reads. When he refused to leave the building, he was handcuffed.

Gaddy then became “non-compliant,” and made “repeated verbal threat(s)” to the officers, stating, “When I see you I’m going to beat the s—t out of you and then kill you......”

Typical selfish attitude of the entitlement crowd. They demand "free" money from the producers of the world, but refuse to comply with even the least little rule that they personally don't like. Equally pathetic is the city's caving in to their tantrums. They should have just said "No mask, no money" and left it at that.

Considering the evidence in regards to cloth masks, they should be optional.

You see the same here in Michigan. The poor demographics are the least likely to wear any kind of mask and then we talk about how evil society is that poor demographics are more likely to be hit by this thing.

There are people of all backgrounds refusing to wear masks, but I had to stop at a red light by a liquor store last week in a rough part of town and poor demographics were outside the doors congregating en masse - no one with masks. My wife saw a similar scene earlier that week.

Our governor loves to talk about certain groups being victims of this, but is there a personal choice element playing a role too?
