A speaker addresses the small crowd gathered for a "Rhode Islanders against excessive quarantine" protest in reaction to the state's mandatory stay-at-home order as an attempt to combat COVID-19 at the Rhode Island State House in Providence, Rhode Island on Saturday, April 25, 2020. Rhode Island Governor Gina Raimondo has extended the stay-at-home order in an effort to combat the spread of COVID-19 to May 8th and recently told schools that they will finish the year through via distance learning. Rhode Island has had 6,699 confirmed cases of COVID-19 and 202 deaths as of Saturday.

No one is protesting in my area. We are under “stay at home” until tomorrow and then we go to “safer at home”.

Place looked like an ant bed today, people driving, walking, biking, hiking, fishing, it was great. We took a 110 mile drive, check out some real estate and had a picnic.

This is how the lockdown ends, bit by bit. Protest by protest. Ignoring the fascist governors’ dictates. There are not enough cops to arrest everyone and the dam is breaking.

Liberals are putting people in scrubs out there for the photo ops, especially women and Asians.

The Governors are going to have to change their approach. Attorney General Barr needs to remind Governors to stop acting like dictators. Yes, the virus is out there but we need to make the appropriate modifications as we gradually return to “normalcy”.
