No More Mr. Nice Mayor: Jim Kenney, Shut This City Down
Philadelphia Magazine ^ | 03/31/2020 | ERNEST OWENS

Posted on 03/31/2020 2:32:43 PM PDT by Kid Shelleen

--SNIP--

This is why we can’t have nice things. It’s obvious that despite the escalation of this deadly virus, people are not respecting courteous requests from state and local governments to stay at home. Either Philadelphians don’t understand what it means to practice social distancing or simply do not care to. None of this is okay. As irresponsible behavior continues, more and more people are put at risk of exposure.

We are now at that part of the pandemic where we should stop requesting and start enforcing. Playtime is over.

Mayor Kenney, for the good of the city and its residents, I modestly propose that you shut the city down immediately.

Let’s review the NYC and NYS “shutdowns”:

It was never serious.

The homeless untouched.

Illegals untouched.

Gays festivals untouched.

Known drug markets untouched.

Muslims untouched.

Subways never closed.

Still an open borders sanctuary city/state.

A JOKE of a lock down to “bend” the curve.

...

Regular people see right through it and are ignoring the power mad mayors and governors.

How can you shut down a sanctuary city? Isn’t that racist?

It’s not really that deadly - especially if you are under 60.

Shutting it down would be racist, wouldn’t it? Keeping out illegals and Muslims? Preposterous!

All of these governors and mayors are using Coronavirus as an excuse to create authoritarian societies. Another month of this and they will be facing rebellions.

Why do you suppose one of the first things they all did was close the gun shops?

Why do you suppose there were runs on the gun shops?

Are the els, subways, and buses still running there in Philly?   (It's a little hard to keep a 6-feet distance there!)

Here's a picture I found of a similar NYC subway car.   (Okay -- everybody breathe in!)

Uh... Mr. Ernst Owens?
I walk two miles to work every day through the most densely populated parts of the city (FWIW - absolute necessity/mandated job). Do you know what I see? Maybe half a dozen joggers, 4 or 5 people with dogs, a couple of restaurants only serving take out with special restrictions. It's like a ghost town. TWO MILES!!!
Knowing who you are, a notorious sodomite, living in the “Gayborhood”, I'm going to feel very comfortable in saying your experiences are not representative of the normal parts of the city. The inability to control one’s self from anonymous hook ups in your part of town should not be projected on the rest of the city.

No.
SEPTA is on an “Severe Weather” schedule, and I haven’t seen a bus with more than one or two people on one when they pass me (I seldom do the subteranian thing anymore). I’d assume most of these people are medical support workers or food industry workers.
“Ghost Town” wouldn’t begin to cover it.

Not here in Illinois. Gun shops are specifically designated as essential businesses.

The funny thing is is liberals are going to be much more annoyed at these lockdown orders

as us conservatives We’re generally happy being homebodies anyway

This is because liberals ( all kids for example ). love to go out and party !!

go see music

and are musicians

Thry love to “
fight the man “. and “ fight the power”.

so it’s gonna be hell a funny to watch

Because the liberals in lib cities. they won’t listen !

whereas conservatives and conservatives will behave of course

Yep. Not to mention the NYC officials blantantly TELLING people to go out and mingle and visit Chinatown last month. Of course this was to show POTUS how he wasn’t getting away with his horrible attack on the Chinese people by calling COVID19 a “china virus”
