Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker plans to issue a “shelter-in-place” order for the entire state starting Saturday, essentially commanding residents to stay in their homes as the officials take drastic measures to slow the spread of the coronavirus, sources told the Tribune.

Pritzker is expected to announce the directive at a 3 p.m. Friday news conference along with Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot. Details are still being worked out, sources said.

Residents can still go to the grocery stores, put gas in their cars, take walks outside and make pharmacy runs. All local roads, including the interstate highways and tollways, will remain open to traffic, as well.

Why is there no rebellion? I would have expected an armed rebellion.

In the 1960s there used to be poetry readings and folk singing by young people in Washington Square in NYC. Then were refused permits and scattered by police. Finally billy clubs beating them and tear gas dispersing them. For poetry and folk songs!

By 1968 Dem Convention violent riots I’m sure police longed for the poetry and folk songs. Then came Weatherman and SDS bombings.

What will defiance by millenials bring this time?

Posted this on the dupe.

“Residents can still go to the grocery stores, put gas in their cars, take walks outside and make pharmacy runs. All local roads, including the interstate highways “

That is not shelter in place.

4 deaths and a lock down? Using this criteria Chicago should be locked down every weekend!

As expected the rat Governors are all taking turns to escalate the hysteria. The DNC has sent out the orders. They want to keep Trump in a vice. If he encourages restraint while they shut their states down and the virus keeps growing (which it will) they will use that to crucify him. And the Alarmist Dr F is making it much worse. These Bastards are going to force the country into self imposed house arrest and it will send us into a depression.

Whitmer in Michigan is about to do the same thing, as she does the bidding of her masters at the DNC.

I will not comply.

How many cases are there outside of Cook and the collar counties? Downstate Illinois once again suffering because of Chicago.

“...and make pharmacy runs...”

A sop for the Chicago gangs, no doubt.

Anti-American gangsters ride herd over the subjects in THEIR states.

Use / read Common Sense

Paine begins by distinguishing between government and society. Society, according to Paine, is everything constructive and good that people join together to accomplish. Government, on the other hand, is an institution whose sole purpose is to protect us from our own vices. Government has its origins in the evil of man and is therefore a necessary evil at best.

At worst...it is a “charter of negative liberties”, right Barry? Ask not what your country can do for you. Ask what your country can do to you. Witness domestic and foreign events. L4 labs quarantined / dismantled? Even the crickets are afraid to chirp.

The “State” is asking people to stay home.

The obliteration of the sentence structure and use of meaning is the real victim.
