DC Mayor Tells Residents To Stay Home For 4th Of July, Promotes Black Lives Matter Gatherings
Daily Caller ^ | 6/26/2020 | Jake Dima

Democratic Washington, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser told residents to spend the 4th of July at home, despite encouraging Black Lives Matter (BLM) gatherings happening en masse amid the coronavirus outbreak.

“Just because there are going to be fireworks downtown — doesn’t mean I have to go,” Bowser said at a press conference Thursday. She said she hopes to see a significant reduction in crowd sizes related to July 4th events, according to Fox 5.

The mayor did not share the same COVID-19 concerns for BLM protests that flooded the city streets following the death of George Floyd, who died after a police officer knelt on his neck for over eight minutes, video showed.

Bowser posted a video of herself amid a large crowd of BLM supporters that do not appear to be maintaining six-feet distances from one another.

Every day I am getting more convinced that this won't get fixed without some helicopter rides.

When you look into the eyes of some of these people, you get the sense they are not rational beings. They have that demon possessed look. Whether it is actual demons, brainwashed cult behavior or something else does not matter. Once a person gets like that, they are likely stuck that way.

Like rabid animals, their the end is likely going to be the same. Someone will put them down. Whether it be people defending their family or property, the authorities or the communist masters they serve. Their end will happen.

Anti-American and pushing racial divide.

What a perfect Democrat politician. Reminds me of the wonderful days of Eric Holder and the Lying Kenyan.

As long as Democrats are encouraging these terroristic riots, I encourage everyone who is infected but asymptomatic to join these protests.

Anyone who hasn’t caught on by now is pretty dense. You must just label any activity that you do and anti racial protest. It’s carte blanche for pure Anarchy and lawbreaking.
I hear for label every public event that I attend an Inequality protest... Anti- Censorship gathering..etc.
Like Alinsky wrote, we must hold them to their own rules.

I had the misfortune to run across a person like that a few weeks ago. That is almost exactly how I described it.

It's shorter if you just say they're "Democrats" - :) - Actually I think a few of them have finally woken up; though not all, certainly.

For goodness sake let the BLM folks get together and encouraged them not to wear masks.

I did see a picture of one sign with July 4 crossed out with ‘Juneteenth’ over it, so yes, substitute Juneteenth for 4th of July is on their agenda.

Actually, this might NOT be as bad as it seems.

If there is another COVID-19 outbreak....

Just thinking outloud.
