Its time for mass civil disobedience against lawless lockdown orders
The Federalist ^ | 12/8/20 | John Daniel Davidson

Posted on 12/08/2020 8:07:31 AM PST by chiller

For too long, mayors and governors and health officials across the country have overstepped their authority. Time to ignore them.

By now it should be obvious that elected state and local officials issuing COVID-19 lockdown and stay-at-home orders are just making things up as they go along.

Too often, their edicts aren’t based on science or data, but on a grotesque understanding of their own authority and infallibility. In the face of a worsening pandemic, they want to be seen doing something, taking bold action to stop the spread of the virus—that is, so long as it doesn’t hurt certain favored special interests.

A huge percentage of affected business owners --using restaurants as an example--could easily unite and ignore these ridiculous dictates. Police would be ineffectual in enforcing, even if they wanted to do so---not likely.

For those few who would be snared, America would gladly GoFund their defense--as has just been proven in the Thousand Oaks / movie kerkuffle.

This Bullshiitte must stop now.

It strikes me that one case won against City of LA / Garcetti-—and a sizeable recompense—would quickly stop this government heavy handedness, dead.

Check your states stats on deaths....

These are Oregon total death stats for past several years, ....THIS tells the TRUTH...each State likely has similar stats...a “friend” on MEWE posted this...

From the Oregon website, the number of total DEATHS since 2015. Here you go:
2015- 35,709
2016- 35,799
2017- 36,640
2018- 36,191
2019- 37,397
And here you go...YEAR TO DATE

And for this we are allowing a tyrannical Governor to destroy our state??? I for one, am not going to be quiet. You better research the “plan” and make some NOISE!!!

I'm in.

"Why no Mr. brownshirt... I'm not dining here against our fascist wanna-be governor's decree... I'm here to protest the cruel incarceration of those delicious ingredients in the cooler back there. I'm here to liberate them from that kitchen, see that they're given the proper respect and reverence they deserve."

"Why no Mr. brownshirt... I'm not drinking here against our fascist wanna-be governor's decree... I'm here to protest those empty glasses lined up on the wall. They represent oppression and denial of fundamental needs. Why, empty a glass is merely a glass, has no value, no purpose. But fill it with that fine lager on tap and it reaches its full potential..."

I’m going maskless to church tonight, tomorrow, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday.

Right now church is the last refuge of normalcy in America.

If your pastor is not opening the doors and thumbing his nose at these Nazis, then find another church.

never wore a mask in public since day 1. Only wore a mask in stores to avoid the hassle of the toy cops throwing a hissy fit drama EVERY TIME.

I have a question for all of you.

If Ebola, with 70% mortality, spread as easily and rapidly as COVID, would these orders be legal and/or constitutional?

Why or why not?

They wouldn’t need those orders. People would make their own decisions on how to protect themselves.

The fact is that this is just a highly contagious flu. It is generally manageable with a few exceptions. The overreach here is more deadly than the disease.

Time to ignore the orders and get back to living as free Americans.

This lockdown crap is just an experiment in Tyranny.
