Do you always twist people's words like that? Is it deliberate, or do you just not understand my point?

Whenever there is an image or video posted of people having fun and hanging out at the beach or whatever, it always gets a bunch of comments that they are “selfish” and “idiots” and “they don’t care about their grandparents dying.” Same thing with the anti-lockdown protesters.

Yet I haven’t heard a peep from the usual suspects over the riots in Minneapolis and Los Angeles. They are gathering in large groups. They aren’t social distancing. They are doing the same thing as the “covidiots” except worse. Stealing, starting fires, violence, vandalism, you name it. People act like the anti-lockdown protestors are the spawn of the devil (maybe because they like white shaming?). But at least they aren’t breaking and destroying private property.

I guess my point is, why is there no outrage over the destructive rioters, yet when people hang out on the beach or a pool we hear things like “Darwinism at its finest!”
I don't like this anymore than I liked the white supremacists who protested at the MI Statehouse with their AK-47s because they didn't want to wear a public health mask when shopping.

You just accused me in another thread of favoring outcomes where people are killed, because I called a US soldier who ran over a terrorist (didn't even kill him) a hero.

Who here is arguing which is more upsetting?


And because of the riots, another man is dead. And several more were injured.

What makes anyone think that liberals aren't outraged? Get your heads out of your narrow-minded partisan asses.

Where is your own outrage over the riots?

Yet, many conservatives think they can speak on behalf of the liberals. NOT!
