HARTFORD, CT (WFSB) - More people are calling for Governor Ned Lamont to reopen Connecticut

In Hartford, a stay-at-home protest took place on Monday as the state continues to look at how to carefully get people back to work.

State leaders, meanwhile, said they're eyeing June as the month to start to get things back up and running.

Monday's protest is not the first the first demonstration of its kind. Another took place last week.

They're being put on by a group calling itself the CT Liberty Rally.

Until the economy gets moving again, in its words, the protests will be more frequent and last longer.

June? First it was the last 2 weeks of March, then ALL of April. Now not until June? Someone should kick his a$$.

Democrat/Leftists, as do all totalitarians, always — ALWAYS — overreach; that is, until people have had enough and the tyrant’s power is removed ... one way or another.

Half of CT's deaths have been in nursing homes.

Governor Ned believes the healthy need to be kept indoors whilst the old and vulnerable need to be exposed.

What a plan.

Better strategy than one leftwing group who decided they would “stay at home” to protest until the order was lifted.

*Of course they haven’t left mom and dad’s in years anyway* :)

They'll need to call out the National Guard by then. Rubber bullets only please.

Early march - 14 days to slow the spread and keep the hospitals from overflowing. As they get close to June they will start the “just two more weeks” crap then two more then..
These Rat Governors are under DNC orders. I wish Trump would call this out more.

They don't know themselves ... they're just "playing it by ear" ... everything they think, say or do is based on a political calculation.

Don't these mediocre tyrants stop and think for a moment about the physical and mental harm -- real harm -- they are doing to men, women and children, to families, to PEOPLE by keeping them locked away and controlling every move they make ... through ORDERS, not laws? Where's their compassion? Where's their damn humanity? Don't they know they are literally destroying peoples' lives ... including the very people who voted for them? I just don't understand how these people -- yeah, I know they're just political hacks, but they are human -- can do real harm to other humans. This is sick nearly beyond words ('though I have a lot of words to go yet).

It’s not a matter of know.

It’s a matter of care.

They simply do not care.

Using people is simply a means to an end for them. The end if power, money, and control. The masses provide the funds through taxes and give them something to control while providing for the comfort of the elites. People are a disposable commodity for them.

I live in Connecticut and I have a surprise for you all. Roads are already jammed with traffic and people are out walking the streets. Most businesses and retail might be closed but we aren't exactly "hunkering down." People want to get out and about.

It's been a cold, damp, chilly April but as soon as we get sunny and 70+ degrees (coming this weekend), I'm sure we will see even more people outside.
