Thousands protest in Amsterdam against Dutch coronavirus lockdown

Dutch riot police used water cannon to disperse around two thousand people at an unauthorised protest in Amsterdam on Sunday against a national lockdown to slow the spread of coronavirus.

The protesters gathered on a square in front of the Rijksmuseum and Van Gogh Museum art galleries, carrying signs reading “Freedom: stop this siege” and chanting “What do we want? Freedom!”.

None wore masks, which are not mandatory outdoors, and few respected social distancing rules, prompting the authorities to disperse the crowd due to health concerns, the Amsterdam authorities said in a statement.

The city had declined an application for the protest to be held on Museum Square. The demonstrators refused to leave when police told them to do so, and some threw fireworks.

"More guts than we have."

We? Are you locked down? I just went to the grocery store and some people had mask and most didn't. If you are locked down then get out. That is what we did in Georgia.

Don't tell anyone. But, the Covid is going to disappear Wednesday and everyone in hospital will be designated as having the normal flu.

More guts, true. At least their police didn’t shoot any protestors.

Where in Georgia did you get away with a maskless visit to a grocery store? Here in the Atlanta area, I don’t see anybody who wants to risk getting hollered at.

I get scolded in the grocery store and asked to leave. I now wear a mask with breathing holes. A local bar and a local gun store ignore the rules and so do I.

You are absolutely right. COVID-19 will mysteriously disappear in the next few weeks and cases of flu and pneumonia will mysteriously spike.

Lockdowns will end because Biden has been installed by the four years long coup called the "Purple Color Revolution" kicked off by Hillary Clinton in her concession speech on November 9th, 2016.

The Conservative Daily News warned America the coup was occurring in September of this year:

We are in Hall county. Just finished dinner with 6 others and only staff had on mask...under their noses.

Come on up and celebrate common sense with us.
