    note here they did not, they would have been breasted

    if someone lays down or falls asleep on a bench, they are arrested, as sleeping is not protesting

    Protesters block traffic at 56th Street and Fowler Avenue on May 30 in Tampa. Many participants have paid little heed to social distancing or other precautions like masks, and doctors say that may help fuel a coronavirus resurgence.

    So you don't mind if a jet liner crashes into the World Trade center as long as it doesn't block traffic?

    Then walk into any place of business without a shirt & shoes and tell them you refuse to have your freedoms stripped from you because the business is COMMANDING you to wear shoes & a shirt.

    When did a private place of business become the Federal Government?

    Our Country isn't mandating anyone to get a vaccine or wear a mask.

    Does it matter anyways? Antimaskers still yell at the poor employee when they tell them to pull their diaper up and wear a mask in the place of business they are visiting. Karens gonna Karen.

    All Federal jobs are including hospitals. And still are.
    But thanks to the SCOTUS, Biden was stopped in his tracks from any other mandates for all businesses with over 100 employees or trying to use his mandates through OSHA.

    I haven't seen a single situation where anyone is being told they have to wear a mask in any business. Can't speak for the rest of the world.

    Ah, Condor hasn't seen it happen, so it must not happen anywhere.

    LOL, typical.

    Thank God Hospitals want their Nurses and staff to stay healthy.

    Did I not say, can't speak for the rest of the world?
    Do you have to take post out of context to respond?

    And how will the be achieved? Did you run across some new vaccine that can make that happen?

    I have to say, reading this thread has been an eye opening revelation! Our lefty posters sound like a bunch of Pinkertons twirling their mustaches at the anticipation of gunning down striking miners. It's like the 1920's all over again! Now they are bunch of strikebreakers who want to crack heads on a labor protest.

    Strange times...

    Trudeau is showing the incompetent's that he is. All he has to do is like what other countries are doing, start lifting the mandates.

    You have got to give these guys some credit. They’re relentless. However, the economic damage will be that of government shutdowns if this is to continue. I am opposed to it.

    I must say though. I do find it odd and highly hypocritical that all the sudden democrat politicians want to talk economics of a forced shutdown now that it’s not by them.

    He appears to be more interested in getting his way than understanding his community. Its a typical authoritarian mentality. If the guy played his cards right he could have turned this into a winner for himself. Simply meeting with the truckers to hear their concerns and making some adjustments (what everyone else in the country is doing) could have been a win win. Instead he turned it into a Mexican standoff that will take force to remedy and no matter how he plays it he will lose.
    But guys like him don't care. They have to be right at all cost.

    I know this dance - it's somewhere between moving the goalposts and changing the discussion.

    Not taking that step, sorry. You asked if the government is forcing schools to mandate masks and I answered.

    What dance? The Federal government is not mandating schools to wear masks. States have rights. When did cons stop supporting their rights?

    and try doing it in one s underwear.......... as after all......... one's freedom to be a jerk er "free spirit " is more important that social rules.


    Civilized societies have rules.........and a pandemic brings about special rules.........as it is a public health issue. Not a"freedom" issue.

    Obstructing traffic at the border that brings vital items is not a protest. It is so-meting else entirely............ a form of childish rebellion. that is hurting jobs, the economy....... the supply chain......... and a host of other thugs. What about folks "freedom"to go to their jobs?? to live in a peaceful environment?? to regain a good economy ??

    Seems that some don't understand the definition "freedom in a democratic society........and how it requires responsible behavior.

    Sadly......the word "freedom has now been abused and misused ...........so how long will the supporters tolerate this conduct.........and accept the consequences. as they unfold ......??

    If folks are so angry about PUBLIC HEALTH restrictions.......... they are alrady being loosened ...... , then learn to deal with the anger in appropriate / healthy ways. Or get some anger management therapy.
