This is the shocking moment a huge line of police officers were forced to disperse a little girl's birthday party in Los Angeles on Saturday. Footage from the incident taken in the Hyde Park area shows the group of around 40 revelers refusing to comply with social distancing rules. Law enforcement were forced to call for back up as the crowd became 'agitated', a source said. The LAPD said no arrests were made.

First Amendment doesn’t guarantee the right to party like it’s 1999. “...peaceably assemble to petition the government for a redress of grievances” is not about birthday parties during an epidemic.

What you posted is incorrect.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Why does a one year old need forty people at a party?

Throw one or two of the ring-leaders in jail.

Double that number for offenders in New Jersey.

That’s the part that bothers me... people running their health into the ground and then demanding we pay for it.

So the police officers were forced to expose themselves to the dangers of infection in order to protect the public? Did the police officers have to be quarantined? What about the families of the police officers?

Maybe it was really a big line-up, not a party...

Uh, what? “The exposed” is the key thing I was pointing out. We are isolating EVERYBODY at home when it is only supposed to THE EXPOSED.

So far I haven’t heard of anywhere where the number of cases outpaced the hospital beds except possibly Italy. In a lot of countries they expanded beds into new facilities. But nobody has had any trouble expanding to fill the need. So if it’s that easy to fill the needs for beds this quickly, why was anyone ever talking about this being a crisis? The WHOLE basis we were given for the shutdowns were to not “overwhelm” the hospital system. The hospital system is not being overwhelmed and yet the shutdowns keep getting extended. It’s really hard for the elite to give up power and control once they get it.

What “bullshit” are you referring to? You pasted examples that EXACTLY CONFIRM what I posted. I posted the definition of quarantine and you backed it up precisely and accurately.

You also give more evidence to state that healthy people not returning from an infected area have never been “quarantined.” By the very definition of the word they can’t be. But they’ve never been “isolated” like they’re being asked to and sometimes forced to now. We are seeing unprecedented overkill in these government controls, orders and mandates never before seen in response to any infectious disease.

Please point out to me an article, section or amendment that states that the first amendment can be disregarded by any local, state or federal official. Let me save you some time, there is none. You need to read and study the document. I know you have not.


The idea that the first amendment somehow constrains state governments is something that has been decided by the courts—not the Constitution itself. The first amendment reads “Congress shall make no law...” Historically the states existed before the U.S. and the Constitution and have police powers that are denied the Federal government. This is why things like stay-at-home/social distancing orders have to be issued on a state level, not national.

Apparently one big problem in confronting the Wuhan Chinese Virus is that people are contagious several days before they are symptomatic. This means anyone could be a carrier—even someone who looks and feels perfectly fine. The lockdowns are being adopted world-wide—not just in the U.S. so virtually everyone in decision-making authority is making the same call.

No doubt there will lawsuits aplenty after this is all over. Right now, the courts are closed.

Why aren’t the officers wearing masks?

They should have. Of course, then they'd be accused of racial profiling.

Is it lawful to impose quarantine on someone who is presumed infectious without a preponderance evidence?

Or to prevent contagion from someone who might be infectious?

If you make these assumptions does the failure to order officers to suit-up in protective gear raise questions about these presumptioms?
