'Land of the free!': Healthcare workers are heckled as they stand in front of anti-lockdown protesters cars' in Colorado and more demonstrations erupt across the US

Healthcare workers clashed with anti lockdown protesters in Colorado on Sunday, defiantly standing in front of the cars of demonstrators who flocked to the state Capitol in their hundreds to urge Gov. Jared Polis to lift COVID-19-induced stay-at-home orders.

Protests against state lockdowns implemented to combat the novel coronavirus outbreak continued nationwide this afternoon, as a fervent disdain for the restrictions that have shut down much of the country's economy continues to slowly spread across the US.

Titled 'Operation Gridlock', the day's largest demonstration took place in Denver, where hundreds of protesters ignored social distancing guidelines to huddle together on the lawn of the state Capitol, waving flags emblazoned with slogans such as 'Your "health" does not supersede my right', 'Freedom over fear', and 'I would rather risk coronavirus than socialism'.

Mobilized by a number of groups on social media, the protesters called Gov. Polis a tyrant and insisted the ongoing economic cost of the shutdown was no longer worth the few lives it would save. But the protesters' efforts weren't met without resistance.

OK, it's the Daily Mail, but they wouldn't lie or exaggerate, would they?

Run them over like ANTIFA! I’m beginning to see that they are part of the NWO cabal by the behavior of individuals I’ve encountered in the DC area. So far as I’m concerned the only good Commie is a dead one

Easy for the HC workers for wanting an extended lockdown. They have a job and getting paid.

Tell that to the guy who has huge business expenses that is shut down.

I’m curious. How sanitary is it for hospital workers to wear their scrubs outside the hospital, when they block traffic?

How do the supposed “over-worked” health care workers leave the “over-run” hospitals they are slaving over have the time to go out in traffic?

Why would I doubt, for one moment, the people were "huddled together"? Because it is the Daily Mail, and they have an agenda!

Great question, and it would be very easy to follow these people back to their cars and then determine if they are legitimate. I suspect more aren't.

Grocery store workers have been going 24/7 since this thing started. What a crock of sh!T!

Multiple generations of humans have forgotten what the work “Quarantine” means.

I saw two protesters in the video, meaning that there are at least two far left activists working as nurses, assuming the people wearing scrubs and masks are really nurses.

Maintaining as much isolation as possible between individual people is a good idea to reduce the spread of any infection. That may be one reason rural areas are less affected by leftist ideas.

The leftist nurses may not understand that a prolonged shutdown of our nation's economy could result in hardship just as severe as what COVID-19 is causing now. We all hope it doesn't happen, but if there is no money to pay for the services normally provided in hospitals, and no money to pay the nurses salaries, how long will they be on the job?

Just goes to prove nurses and other healthcare workers can be liberal kool aid drinkers as well

>how long will they be on the job?<

In time for a health industry bailout by the Feds.
