As well they should. They’re collaborators.

"...I'm not only worried about COVID, I'm worried about someone showing up at my door, showing up at my workplace, or me getting fired for doing what is right..."

Rats who are thinking about snitching should consider this. There are leaks and data breaches everywhere. The walls are listening. Sound carries. People overhear you. You are not safe anywhere. Keep looking over your shoulder. Just saying... There is no way you will NOT be doxxed. Be afraid. It’s not worth it. Don’t get involved. Just go back to watching CNN and shut up.

I’m reminded of the backlash in the Netherlands at V-E, when all those who schmoozed with nazis were outed. All’s fair; and it’s especially sweet that the government that sponsored the collaborations managed to reach out to those too stupid to read the fine print.

Playground is where I learned it. These pukes deserve the worst beating..

[tennmountainman]

You bet.

Let this be a lesson to those gestapo wanna-bes.

Backstabbing, sniping cowards should think before they point fingers...

There was a scene in a world war II movie (might have been band of brothers) where the female collaborators in the netherlands were having their heads shaved in the public square. The American GI's looked appalled and their commander gave the local resistance leader a "is this really necessary?" kind of look. The resistance leader looked at the American commander with disdain and said "The male collaborators are in the back alley being shot."

I hope we never ever get to that point.

Where is the list? I want to see it!

[jmacusa]

And end up in ditches.

Kneecap?

More than 900 Missouri residents who "snitched" on St. Louis County businesses for violating the coronavirus lockdowns in March and April fear retaliation after their private information was published on social media.

Informers get informed on and don't like it - news at 11.

The list has been removed, but the snitch reporting page at the "Community Sanitation" section of the county website includes the following to begin the 6-step online process:

Community Sanitation

COVID-19 Business Operation Violations
Report non-essential businesses in operation, businesses allowing more than 10 people to congregate within the business, or businesses not having soap and water and/or hand sanitizer.

COVID-19 Individuals Violations
Report people going to work ill, not washing their hands, not covering nose and mouth when sneezing and coughing, non-essential employees reporting to work.

COVID-19 Social Distance Violations
Report violation of social distancing of at least 6 feet apart.

The "Community Sanitation" website is also used for reporting smoking ban violations.

"...doing what is right,"

This was very much encouraged in the Soviet Union and Eastern Bloc.

[Old Yeller]

That’s why it’s the “Show Me” state.

I’m not the malicious type but I am with you in this case.
