Mayor Bill de Blasio bans all large gatherings in NYC through September EXCEPT Black Lives Matter protests, insisting the 'historic movement must be respected' as demonstrations haven't caused a spike in coronavirus

New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio said Thursday that he is banning all large gatherings in the city in a bid to stop the spread of coronavirus, but gave exception to Black Lives Matters protests insisting the ‘historic’ demonstrations must be respected. Speaking to CNN’s Wolf Blitzer Thursday night, de Blasio said the demonstrators’ calls for social justice and racial equality were too important to silence, considering more than a month of protests had not caused a spike in COVID-19 cases. While protests will be permitted to take place without push-back, de Blasio said that all other large events would be cancelled in the city through September.

These wacky Leftie communists around the county are emboldened by each other and, unrestrained by good judgment, they are taking their behavior to absurd extremes ("Reductio ad absurdum").

If they had a strong national leader, he would tell them to pick their fights strategically and carefully instead of acting out.

It is a good thing that those of us in the country who are not brainwashed by the communists get a chance to see these idiots for what they are before the revolution begins in earnest.

As an aside, Lefties around the country, with their unrestrained acting out, are creating a vacuum of leadership. Someone, not Joe or Bernie, needs to fill that vacuum to get them (the Left) focused. Right now they are playing into the President's hands (thank God).

These are tests, how far can they go, how will people respond? Obviously, as far as they want. No pushback, not a whimper. I could

I’m quite sure TC and them will cover this if only to point out the absurdity.

Btw this really speaks loudly to what the Liberals think of their own followers as regards to intelligence, doesn’t it?

Trying to assemble a list of the redeeming features of the “movement” excepted by the mayor.

Right now, I am stumped at where to begin.

I know that employed, constructive, industrious, hard-working conservatives/republicans could never match the boundless energy, unlimited in time (due to being idle), emotionally driven enthusiasm of the Left in the same way, but does anyone else think that the time has come for a national "Day of Response"? These Leftist leaders, these corporate grovelers, and especially these spineless republicrats must seem to think that our silence is an indication that we just aren't that upset with things right now. I'm all in favor of some sort of National Day of Response where like-minded (all 2nd Amendment folks, all pro-life folks, all small business folks, all Blexit folks, all freedom-loving folks all across America gather in every state capitol and let 'em know that, while we've remained silent and peaceful, while we've waited for them to manage their states, while we've waited (patiently) for them to protect the rights of all their citizens, we're here, we're losing our patience and we can cancel folks in office all across this land in a single day, if that's what it will take.

It's time the Left gets the message that there won't be any more toleration of their nonsense, so they need to go home, get a job, get back to school, get to work on fixing your communities, clean up all that grafitti that you've used to deface our country, leave the darned statues alone, get out of people's faces with your iPhones and trying to "get something on them" and, oh yeah, read a book about this nation that was written some time before you were born.

There is no science to disprove that protests can spread. They already made up the conclusion that protests are magical and should never be considered as a spreader of the disease, unless it’s the wrong political persuasion, like asking to go back to work.

Science is the pursuit of knowledge, and in order to pursue knowledge, you do not start with conclusions and cherry pick like these politicians are doing.

It’s too late for intelligent debate and dialogue but it’s just the beginning of a conflict where they WILL be DEFEATED on the battlefield. We’re on the path. It is not of our choosing but we will have to finish it. No other choice. We’ve been ordered and directed by the Declaration of Independence. It’s our duty as patriots.

They have their fearless leader who must be obeyed--Joe Biden.

Anyone who claims that the emperor is senile will be canceled!

It is called “magical thinking” and was the way of homo sapiens for hundreds of thousands of years when the species lived in caves and considered flints high technology.

This is the mentality we are dealing with here.
