    Another example of lefty hypocrisy.

    People gathering for church, Trump rally, work, etc...=bad
    People gathering to protest, loot, destroy, etc...=good


    Folks, do you see now what the left is all about?

    It was sarcasm on my part. Being in a group is either dangerous or it isn't. Does being a protester give one immunity? I don't think so. Has it been a month?

    You understand even wearing a mask, if you're standing next to someone infected for a long period of time, it won't matter. Hell yes it contributed to the spread. You have no brain if you think massive crowds of people even wearing masks will stop it from spreading. It reduces it, but it can still spread. Its about prolonged exposure in most cases, not someone infected sneezing in your face. And for every photo of protesters wearing masks there are plenty showing people NOT wearing masks. And if you're wondering, which you're not...guess what NYC was doing? Guaranteed it wasn't isolated to NY either. Contact tracers were NOT asking if you attended protests. How about that ****?

    You don't need to many if you don't have any cases.
    But Texas, for example, did less than 60,000 today.

    I think the working theory is that everyone else stayed away from the bars, so it was a break even. :)

    Common sense, observation, and a sense of REALITY would tell anyone there were far more peaceful protesters than rioters and looters. That's really the crux of this matter: you people pretend to believe there were as many or more rioters and looters as there were peaceful protesters. That's absolutely false and you know it if you are at all grounded in reality. It's really fruitless to try to argue a point of reason with people who choose willful ignorance to support a point of view that only serves their own purpose rather than addressing reality.

    You never answered my question, how many cops were/shot and or killed/ or assaulted nationwide in say the last month? If you cant/wont answer that, that speaks volumes.

    How did the tens of millions of dollars of property damage happen ?? How did David Dorn die ?? Why do the leaders of BLM justify property destruction ?? Why do the leaders of BLM say nothing about the 62 shootings, 15 killings (including a 2 year old boy and 13 year old girl) in Chicago a few weekends ago ?? BTW those killings in one city on one weekend were 15X the number of unarmed blacks killed by police last year which resulted in a conviction of a police officer. There were 9 unarmed black males who were shot and killed in 2019 out of ~ 10,000,000 arrests.

    The left does not care just as they do not care about the carnage in cities run by Democrats like Chicago. In 2019 89 police officers were killed on duty - 48 of those by felonious acts.

    https://www.fbi.gov/news/pressrel/p...89,result of felonious acts, and 41 officers

    They dont care about that. They want deaths by police, if those cops are white, so much the better.

    And how many roofers died from falls? How many drywall mechanics were fatally injured when a ceiling fell on them? These both have about the same relevance to what is being discussed.

    I went past that article to the report it references which was a non-peer reviewed NBER white paper compiled by 5 individuals, none of them doctors btw they're all economists, who all happen to be staff members at liberal and ultra-liberal universities.

    But to their credit they did manage to admit they weren't making a determination that there was no spread - something that was lost when media reported on it. Instead they simply equated the mobs causality on scaring people into staying home as an infection inhibitor:

    In other words, people in those areas stayed home because there was a race riot going on and thus that's the virus spread only between the mob and not everyone else. The spread of COVID continued because how could it not, only it was people in the mob catching it. But what these researchers couldn't even come close to attempting to measure is how the people of the mob went on to then infect others.

    Yes - it's a false narrative used to attempt to destroy the history of the US. Lenin & Trotsky and Mao successfully did the same.

    Sounds like academia has been corrupted by critical studies as voiced by the liberal evolutionary biologists and his peers in science. It is a very real movement within academia. So much so it terrifies scientists...

    The biologist is Brett Weinstein who taught at Evergreen. Whose students threatened him with baseball bats. He fled Evergreen.

    So why even post. Are you now a mod? A degree of conversation drift is perfectly natural, several pages in.
