Grammar NAZI gripe: you mean “CIte”.
Got bored 2 paragraphs in :) I have a short attention span.
It ain’t the black death man.
And most have been in for a month.
Those who sacrifice freedom for security end up with neither.
or something like that :)
Your governor is the worst. Her orders are not about safety, but control. Can buy lottery tickets but not paint? Can’t go to a second home? Not logical.
A lot of course cases are going to be filed over selective enforcement.
There are a million reasons people can find to assert the Constitution doesn’t really mean what it says. Those reasons are all bull***t. And the people who propose them are either tyrants or slaves.
I appreciate your effort to post douchebaggery just so we can comment on it, but if all the douchebaggery on Facebook were posted here, there would be no room for anything else.
It’s not so much social distancing that has people up at arms, but instant laws like you cant buy seeds to plant your yearly garden because food in a food crisis is not as important as aborting babies and buying pot in state state marijuana stores that ARE ruled “essential”.
So the Constitutional viewpoint that this is about protecting people is a strawman argument at best.
Candy coating a turd shows intent...
Look up your Barry Goldwater.
SIC SEMPER TYRANNIS
While there may have been a justification initially, we have seen that the numbers just don’t add up for continuing this lockdown - ill and people who are at risk should be kept in but the arbitrary and draconian decrees have no justification.

The First Amendment prohibits the government from infringing freedom of religion, freedom of peaceful assembly.
What else is needed?
Crying FIRE in a crowded theater is used as the excuse. But when one crise fire in a theater, you don’t shut down all theaters and all religious services over an incident in one.
oops. sorry, double post
Anyone who thinks people can come back from economic ruin and insane
Small businesses may not be able to make it back. Some big businesses will not make it back
This is NOT the same as small pox. This capriciousness ought to be tested in the courts. Liquor stores and pot dispensaries allowed to stay open but churches are outlawed??? Let’s see how that flies
By the way during smallpox outbreaks the country was never shut down. Those found to be sick were quarantined
Many here on FR need to read and heed. I’m disappointed regarding how many “Fair Weather Patriots” are on this site. They would be dangerous if true hardship were to befall this Nation.
It is preposterous for a governor or mayor to restrict travel in public places for "safety" reasons ... while at the same time allowing many types of business establishments -- where people gather much more closely than they do outdoors -- to remain open.
Go back and check out the decision by the Federal judge in Kentucky when he issued a restraining order against the governor who wanted to shut down Easter Sunday religious services. It's a great education in constitutional matters as they relate to your post here.
After reading that judge's decision, one thing became very clear to me: No government restrictions during this viral outbreak are likely to stand up to constitutional scrutiny as long as the same government issuing those restrictions is also allowing something as non-essential as LIQUOR STORES to conduct business.
25 days under ‘stay home’ order and 35 deaths - mainly in nursing homes and other care facilities.
85k unemployed in a State with 625k population (no state workers have been let go).
Our Looney-tune legislature hasn’t stopped working on devising new ways to tax us - namely from a new devastating carbon tax. Our state is ruined for the next decade.
I don’t care what any attorney has to say about this subject. He/she or It can hide in the basement.
I know you are confused with the subtle differences between oppression and pandemics.
