HARTFORD, Conn. (WTNH) Protesters rallied again Monday, asking for Governor Ned Lamont to consider reopening the state.
We appreciate his thinking of taking care of us all, but people are suffering right now and theyre not suffering with COVID, said Marnee Palladino.
One of the biggest complaints is they dont understand why the big box stores can be open while mom and pop shops remain closed.
They believe if Lamont does the right thing by reopening the state, people will do the right thing.
Its unfair that big box stores like Walmart are able to be open while smaller businesses are not, a Manchester resident told News 8.

Protesters like Rick said they support the message but feel people can handle themselves if the state were to reopen.
People are going to be safe and do the right thing, he said. I am an immunocompromised veteran. I am doing the right thing, covering myself up with a face mask while Im out here.

YES! I can't wait for that. The live thread should be fun. :-)
Hes pushed it May 18th. Who know what hell allow to open then or will he push for 2 more weeks. I cant stand the guy.
You mean the guy who's forever speaking of how "disappointed" he is in the President? I'll tell ya what's wrong:
Boston
Cambridge
Somerville
Belmont
Brookline
Newton
Wellesley
And let's not forget Martha's Vineyard!
Tall Deval's wildly popular in all those places..among others.
Betcha CT FReepers are happy!
Dudley Do Nothing Henry in SC is behind the curve.
Good.
Trump has pulled the national Slow the Spread guidelines.
These Govs are now on their own.
And it appears most of them are politically paralyzed.
Probably a good thing for long-term GOP electoral prospects, but not good for the country in the short term.

It’s because the Rats are crisis lovers. They want things chaotic all the time. They can’t stand calm and peace.
Sunlight can be a good source of vitamin D but it does not cure the virus. If it did Brazil would not account for almost half the CV cases in South America.
The only hope is to move the hell out of CT. And all of the northeast states. I don't want to be the last one stuck in CT who is supposed to 'turn out the lights'. Wish we got out 10 years ago.
How much fun, nutmeg!!
Im glad to hear that you had a good turnout.
People are ready to get back to normal, as POTUS says.
See you all at the Town Hall.
POTUS has held a long meeting/presser, today, on Protecting Our Seniors.
Didnt get to watch, will have to look for recap.
Dems like to never let a crisis go to waste, so they use them to further their commie agenda.
Umm... yeah, I guess. The few of them that are left. CT FReepers and conservatives aren't as active as they used to be.
*However*, I was very impressed by the numbers of young people who participated in Monday's rolling rally in Hartford. Very surprising, given that we've participated in many (mostly Tea Party) rallies in CT in the past. The majority of those participants were seniors.
Hubby suspects many of the young people own small businesses, and are *really* angry that they haven't been able to reopen their businesses and make a living for their families.
I owe you a FReepmail reply, FRiend! I'll try to get to that at some point soon. :-)
I’m watching him now on Fox. The press is snarky as usual.

I didn't get to see it either. I honestly cannot keep up with our Energizer Bunny President! The guy is amazing... and he barely gets (or needs) much sleep.
SO sick of these idiots 😡
Looks like Gov. Ned has caved and I have seen on the WFSB Chanel 3 tv news today for May 20th. The protests worked.
Ned Lamont is the nephew of Corliss Lamont; they’re COMMUNISTS. This is the way he likes things.
You are right. He is so indecisive waiting for someone to tell him what to do. And why wasnt his reopen CT task force formed within a few days of closing the state, not a month later?
