This is what freedom looks like, tearing down fences but still staying safe. Chicago residents proved they can be trusted with that freedom.

A protest erupted in Lincoln Park in Chicago on Sunday. Attendees tore down fences and entered the park despite the restrictions Mayor Lori Lightfoot put in place. But there were no signs. No chanting slogans. Even the protesters didn

flexibility to find creative ways to be free and safe

This is what makes America great, but the Pritzker's and the flubros exclude a reasonable middle to fight it out over whether we have a constitution or not - one side arguing that the constitution no longer applies and the other arguing for constitutional rights to spread contagion - a right they don't have under the constitution we do have.

This is Chicago. It’s not about rights, it’s about a tantrum for something they want.

In November most of those idiots will vote for the Democrats bringing them this garbage.

Good, to hell with democraps and their effin economic terror attack. These mofos are trying to extend the terror attack as long as they can to affect the election. The fact is the chances of you getting the virus they helped the Chinese make much less dying from it is extremely low, use common sense and don’t lick toilets. I’ll be damned if I allow them to extend the damages from this terror attack of theirs and end up unemployed and homeless just so a child molestor can become President and Democraps can fill up their cocaine stash

The mayor should be more concerned about black-on-black crime in her city.

arguing for constitutional rights to spread contagion

Where’s the part in the constitution that says the government (or anyone else) can deny my rights because they *think* I might have a virus, and they *believe” it is far more dangerous and deadly than the flu?

**************

In November I think we’ll see most of the red states doing well and the blue states langusihing. That dichotomy, however, probably won’t be enough to persuade any of these idiots from altering their voting patterns.

Instead they will resentfully rail at the “dangerous” liberties that the red state residents enjoy.

We don’t really have a constitution any more. Its no longer operative.

They make up the rules as they go along. Of course, all the rules happen to benefit them.

The same morons will be voting for wacked out trash like Lightfoot and Pritzker as soon as they can.

They don’t connect the dots.

THis is a needed Flash Mob.

Finally, all those flash mobs creating 100% sales at department stores, being put to more constructive use. Stealing their rights back from the draconian tyrannical politicians that they voted for.

Look at it like this: Parks are like Free S***.

But that's our cynical side. There's always hope they WILL connect the dots.

Healthy people don’t spread contagion. Contagious people do.

The same thing happened here in California recently. In the Arastradero Preserve in the Palo Alto hills, the city had put yellow caution tape on the park benches several weeks ago. A few days ago, it was all torn off the benches, lying on the ground.

For crying out loud, are you REALLY going to catch it by sitting on a park bench that somebody else sat on thirty minutes ago? The overreach by these authorities is just nuts.

It seems like a lot of people are forgetting that the lockdown/shelter-in-place/quarantine was to prevent hospitals being overrun. It never happened (so that's a good), but most places now are on a downslide of coronavirus cases, especially the rural areas.

The Dems lapdog media sure won't remind people of this. They want their Dem masters to keep everyone down and ruin the economy to get Trump...

Never thought I’d say it but Go Chicagoans!

There is virtually no chance of getting the virus by running around or even sitting in a park, and the park closures are all being done just to display government power.
