And your “constitutional rights” have not been taken away by President Trump who you support as I do. So maybe you should let him do his job.

Sorry you live in NJ. Your population density requires more strict distancing there than we do out here, but it’s your choice to live there. Not my zoo, not my monkey.

It’s like listening to someone who lives in the Sudan complaining that it is hot outside. If your situation sucks, work within your state political system to fix it, move, or STFU.

My home has a sign on the front door advising LEOs that no knock warrants shall be treated as a home invasion.

Twink, where exactly is our Bill of Rights, genius?

It is the first ten amendments of the Constitution. There is no “Bill of Rights”.

Your post would be a good one except in involved military personnel — not the public at large.

I’m not a big fan of Napolitano but he’s dead right on this one.

The political and legal fallout of this fiasco will be interesting. All I know is that President Trump has a great team of advisors because they are adamant about steering clear of any oppressive edicts at the Federal level. They even go to great lengths to refer to the Federal response in this matter as “guidelines.”

And most of those NYC escapees made it all the way to Jersey!! You wonder why your numbers are skyrocketing? Wake up! Social distancing is far better than full quarantine. I don’t quite understand how many stupid people don’t grasp this.

Please, go make your stand. I’ll watch you on Live PD.

Yes. Because I know my rights and I will die keeping them while you go on your ski trip you claim others do. Your post says all I need to know about you. Yes I will die for this country.

I’m sorry you’re a Vet who doesn’t understand what you fought for. My Dad was a WWII vet and he knew exactly what he fought for and passed that down to me. I guess our Military isn’t what is used to be.

No honey, not because they told me to stay away from anyone and if you’re really a Vet you’d never ask that or insinuate that.

I’m fine with giving this another few weeks while I do my thing. I’m also aware that neighbors reporting neighbors is a far greater threat that’s being promoted even here. I stand by and with my 2nd A rights and if you don’t live here then good on you. You do you. For this family and house, yeah we will stand up to the National Guard, police (it helps that I’m from a cop family since the 1930s). Yeah we will protect our family, property and rights. Far too many on here say they will but never would.

I will go for it and you do the same.

” I’d rather die on my feet then live on my knees.”

Yes it does.

So either this is a bio weapon or WMD or something else but we are on house arrest/sheltering in place or whatever one wants to call it.

Finally someone is at least asking the question. When I first came to FR in 98 this was every day talk. How things have changed. Now we are like fish in a barrel.

"Good thing these people were not around during the war or the polio epidemic or even measles when you were made to go home and stay there with a quarantine sign on your house."

why didn't they do that this time around?....quarantine the sickly and the elderly in their homes because they are the ones needing protection?....

Yes of course. It’s so easy to move. Away from parents, children, family...we wonder why this country has taken a sharp left turn.

I don’t know nor do I care how you grew up but in my world, family means everything. We don’t put our kids in daycare and sure as hell don’t put our parents/elderly in nursing homes.

We take care of our own and don’t rely on the government to do that.

Not everyone can just move. We don’t abandon our family or our family values.

Maybe you do? and like you said, you live out there and don’t have to deal with this stuff.

Yay for you and FU. You do you and let the rest of us do us.

Yeah blah blah blah to the rest of your post.And we wonder why more aren’t on the same page as us, joining this fight. Mirror, lol.

Or maybe I should be just like you and not care or just move, just like that move. Heh.

You do you and I’ll do me and WTF ever.I’ll stay in NJ surrounded by family because that’s all that really matters and in the next few weeks I’m sure some neighbor will report us and that’s ok because it’s not like Nazi Germany at all because this time it’s for a good cause.

“Your post would be a good one except in involved military personnel — not the public at large.”

A lot of the innoculated were militia, not regulars of the Continental Line. Washington didn’t need to innoculate the public at large. And he did preside over America’s first mandatory mass innoculation.

Even members of the militia may have been serving under some kind of conscription in the first place. Almost everything they did on a daily basis would have been considered excessive in a civilian context.

Bullshit. They didn’t come to NJ. They went to their homes in LI, UPstate NY, CT , Florida! and RI and elsewhere and maybe a tiny sum to the Jersey Shore but not many because they don’t go there. Mostly Florida.

Only low lifes watch LivePD so theres that. Own that.

Just goes to show you have absolutely no clue of this area.

So did you put your parents in a nursing home or assistant living facility because it was easier and you’re trying to justify that decision or do you just hate those from the NE? Apparently, you’re not familiar with the NE if you think NYC escapees went to NJ lmao.

56% of the replies appear to be patriots... the rest are a bunch of bootlicking Nazi bastards.

Back then, they quarantined the sick. Now, we are all quarantined.
