36% would turn in neighbors for violating social distancing rules

What do you do if your neighbor has 15-20 people over and it’s in violation of stay-at-home orders? A JustTheNews.com survey found that 36% of voters would report their neighbors to the police. Forty-three percent (43%) would not.

Suburban and Urban voters are evenly divided on the question. However, by a 53% to 28% margin, rural voters would not report their neighbors.

There is a huge partisan difference. By a 44% to 31% margin, a plurality of Democrats would turn their neighbors in. By a 60% to 25% margin, Republicans would not. Independents are evenly divided.

Four guys from the power company came out to lay the underground wire to my new garage. We all shook hands.

It wasn’t a leak. The notice to report people apparently included fine print that said a snitch’s information would be available upon request, and someone requested it.

If I saw that party, I’d ask why I wasn’t invited!

Ok, I hope some people got all shook up. 😁

Is it surprising? Reckless idiots who wont follow the advice are putting their neighbours and more importantly their families lives at risk. I would warn them first, but if I didnt like their reaction, I’d dob them in too.

"If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen." - Samuel Adams

I gather by your spelling of "neighbor," and your use of "dob," you were never our countryman anyhow, subject.

Read the thread - how we deal with snitches on this side of the pond hasn't changed much in 244 years........

Those people would have fit in well in Nazi Germany or Stalin’s Russia. We deserve what we get now. Electing useless ,power hungry politicians only happens with a dumbed down , morally bankrupted electorate.

Liberals want to impose their values on everyone. That’s what we’re witnessing with these drunk on power Dem Governors.

wasn’t a data leak. the snitch site stated that the reports will not be anonymous and a foia request was all that was needed. they didn’t read the disclaimer

You'd "dob in" the family hiding Anne Frank, too, using that logic. Re-think what you are saying.

He’s coming very soon for all of His Dear Children!

May it be today!

Soros says I did that years ago.

What a great thread.

We mostly agree that it’s socially, morally, ethically wrong to obey the law and snitch.

But it’s fine to murder snitches. Or at the very least burn their houses down.

[Veggie Todd]

Are you saying you reported someone? Why? if that is what you mean

It was a joke. Since the topic was about snitching on people.

[Steve Van Doorn]

Oh good. For a minute there you almost ruined my day here.
