That is some truly stupid ****. I’d be the kid waving back with only one finger (not really, but I’d wish I was that kid).
It’s not as bad as a trend that happened in my Area where shortly after the “safe at home” order was issued by the governor some people started an 8 PM to 8:02 PM bell ringing where you go to the door of your house, er, cell during that time and ring a bell, bang a pot and pan etc. to make noise to show solidarity or some other liberal feel good reason why you were “quarantined“.
Thankfully that only lasted about a week before it finally died off. After a day or two of the annoying bell ringing, some more enterprising individuals decide to launch off fireworks instead, that really upset the liberals and probably help stop the stupid bells.
