So, an overhyped virus is the equivalent of rioting? Wow.
Gallup has a high native american population, which seems to be vulnerable to covid.
The well-known COVID-19 exception to the US Constitution.
Not getting kicks on route 66 anymore.
Why is it so bad in this one county?!
Its becoming very obvious why the left wants to disarm the population.
Lasthe I knew alcohol was killing more Gallup residents than WuFlu.
They never locked down Gallup over alcohol abuse.
“As of Thursday, McKinley County had 1,027 reported cases of COVID-19.”
Roughly 1 in 70 people in that county are infected. Roughly 1 in 50 in NYC.
So why the martial law in Gallup?
Closure
NMDOT has mobilized roadblocks on both east and westbound off ramps of I-40, Exit 20 (Munoz Drive). Traffic will be restricted into Gallup in order to stop the spread of COVID-19 in the area. State Police and the Army National Guard will be manning all checkpoints. Motorists should expect to stop at this location. Signs will be posted warning drivers of checkpoints ahead.

Mostly the native Americans impacted with the rona?
I don’t live there but I would be in my car headed to the roadblock and it’s highly likely you would read about me in the paper the following day.
“Kicks on I-40” just doesn’t have the same ring.
So what the frick is three MFing days supposed to accomplish?
White man have terrible record of interaction with Indians.
It was around 1976 when i drove through downtown Gallup and there were 6 straight blocks of down-trodden individuals sitting on the sidewalk with a brown paper bag of something in their lap. Super sad. Hope its gotten better.
So many elderly alone, far from family, Life is already hard and now this, what for some must be simple terror. Gallup is in Indian Country, hard for the tribes to be away from each other. Weekend in Gallup is always busy time. It will look like an empty Spirit World this Saturday and Sunday.
