This is how a free people lose their liberty and fall into a totalitarian state.
This is the result of the President declaring a 'National Emergency'. When that was declared, certain procedures kicked in allowing these fascists to do this.
"Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety."
Benjamin Franklin
So does the guy feel sick. Seems like if he was feeling ill he would have not bolted.
Yes. Trump made a huge mistake with that declaration. The constitutional principles of our country are on fire. No property rights, arrest with no legal recourse to challenge a positive test, elimination of right to assembly, etc.
We lost everything this nation was founded upon in one week.
Having said that, I’d also suggest that stopping people from conducting private business transactions where they themselves are the only ones at risk is not an acceptable measure by any stretch.
Nooo I’m supposed to have all my rights even during a national emergency!
Was wondering what they would do with the dumb masses who wouldn’t follow protocol hmmm
shoot to kill?
If I were the guard I’d be cranking this at full volume from my Humvee 24/7:

And why is this a national emergency?
Yes, because they get to define an emergency- we don’t. Could be anything. I can’t believe how easy people are giving it all up.
What will you do when they start going house to house for guns as part of the upcoming forced quarantines?
I swear I can’t believe what has happened to FR!

“A strict observance of the written law is doubtless one of the high duties of a good citizen, but it is not the highest. The laws of necessity, of self-preservation, of saving our country when in danger, are of higher obligation. To lose our country by a scrupulous adherence to the written law, would be to lose the law itself, with life, liberty, property and all those who are enjoying them with us; thus absurdly sacrificing the ends to the means.” - Thomas Jefferson
“The Constitution is not a suicide pact.” - SCOTUS Justice Robert H. Jackson in Terminiello v. Chicago
Because President Trump declared it.
What do you propose?
Makes more sense to quarantine 1 guy for a few weeks than to close entire businesses for months to keep any employee from getting an illness that is largely non-lethal.
Like your FR name.
See mine.
Our freedoms are disappearing fast. This is tyranny no matter what the cause.
Lol
Tell that to those who lived through WW2.
Accelerated herd immunity by exposure, with mitigation protocols for those over 70 or with severe underlying issues.
Too tough for today’s soft world, but it would be the fastest way out.
People who don’t want to grow up tend to have a problem with violating the rights of others. That’s very common among criminals with drug habits. He should have grown up a little and stayed put.
