Fine with me if he wants to hold a rally but I do agree with the waiver aspects: "At your OWN risk" and hopefully the high risk population will have the sense not to go.

Depends on what part of Virginia. In my neck of the woods, only about 25% of stores were open in the mall when I went on Saturday.

Similarly, I would like someone to explain to me why “the Jewish community” was harshly condemned for gathering in a large group for a funeral but nobody had a problem when hundreds of people sat shoulder-to-shoulder for THREE different memorial services at THREE different locations for George Floyd.

P.S. I am very sorry for the loss of your brother. May he RIP.

It's not the best we have but we are stuck in a state that is basically communist. Our state government tried to enact a gas tax without voter approval and it of course was done in the name of public safety. Some Southern California demtard got recalled over it and then the state decided to "let the people vote on it" except they switched up the wording of the measure so that no meant yes and yes meant no to the gas tax. They know how stupid the public is and they want it that way so they got a bunch of idiots from public sector unions, including police, to say how if it wasn't approved there would be so much danger to society because bridges would be collapsing and sinkholes would be taking in fire trucks trying to go save grandma.

So it’s OK to protest en masse, based on a false premise that cops are killing unarmed blacks in abandon, even if it means spreading the virus and then returning home to spread it further among their communities, have it kick back up again, with who knows how many more dead as a result?

New COVID-19 cases in Tulsa County have spiked to their highest levels since the pandemic began, and health department director Bruce Dart says it's not safe for the president or the public to be in a large crowd right now.

I don't think you know what spiked means. My county has approx 1.5 million people and there's been 63 "covid deaths" so at best 10% of those people died from nothing but covid. So 6 people out of 1.5 million. I got an email from my local newspaper saying that covid cases have spiked since re opening. According to them there has been 37 total confirmed positive cases and probably 2-3 deaths at most since things started re opening a few weeks ago. It's apparent this entire thing is a sham.

People are already opening businesses. Even malls are open. Trump is holding his rally. What are you talking about?

They can't. They might try, but they can't give a good reason for this.





It is because Trump people for more or less obey the law and holding a rally up until now in many states has been "verboten"... Business owners follow the law/mandates and if they don't they will be visited by the Police and given a ticket and forced to pay a fine. In my state of MA. restaurant owners feared losing their liquor license if they violated any of the Governor mandated rules. Bars and Pubs are still not allowed to open.



But protesters? Heck our elected stand back and give them room to rampage while telling the Police to stand down.

They fear the mob more than they fear the voters, because the mob will come for your head if you cross them while the voters are fickle and will probably forget how their Rights were stomped on by the time the election comes around.

Lol. He's against neither. Show me where he said either, or both.

He is for people making their own decisions.
