Unlike the protesters many of these people are old overweight men who smoke cigars and drink every day. At least the two or three bikers I know who have gone to Sturgis fit that description. Covid19 loves this type of host. Its highly unlikely that one of them doesn't get infected and gets hospitalized and will never be the same again.

Protestors wear gas masks And other face shields because federal agents are spraying them with tear gas and pepper spray. Those masks help stop the spread of covid.

I haven’t seen any masks at the Sturgis rally.

Most of the tens of thousands of violent rioters, looters and arsonists do NOT wear masks.

Or will the rally goers there have some sort of special "immunity" that the Sturgis goers don't have?
Are you implying that the Sturgis Rally is only for white people?

You're comparing apples and oranges. Besides...there was plenty of concern about spread during the protests. The protests saw people generally wearing masks. The bikers in SD? Not so much.

I never realized how easily lead people were until this pandemic. Look at all these protests for nothing. A bunch of white privileged women running around in groups yelling about stupid things. They sure look like idiots.
From the looks of those who attend Sturgis rallies, I think the virus will have a heyday there!

Therefore your logic is: "lets double-down and have a huge event with over 250K middle-aged men who do not need to wear masks!" Brilliant!

No my point is the Democrat controlled MEDIA is OK with rioters not wearing masks but makes a fuss about Sturgis because they are hypocrites with a leftist agenda. However if you are not old and/or sick the entire mask/social distancing thing is a JOKE.

But again, you folks don’t believe in the right to protest no matter what! You believe in the status quo...as long as the cops don’t crack YOU over the head.

But whatever.
Only total idiots "take to the streets" to be angry about a violent felon, doped up on drugs, violent criminal history, rap sheet bigger than his IQ, hurting a defenseless pregnant women sticking a gun in her stomach and robbing her. This piece of dirt is NOTHING to celebrate. The family that got the $14 Million Gofundme needs to donate ALL that money to the pregnant woman.. for the trauma that piece of garbage caused her.

One would wonder why it takes 250K people to pack together without masks to make a erroneous point that "Democrat controlled MEDIA is OK with rioters."
