The anti-government activist Ammon Bundy and a crew of Idahoans angry at the state government’s anti-coronavirus orders are fighting back — with an Easter service, followed by a potluck.
I want to make a joke about how all these stupid people will die, but most of them won’t. Horribly, they will also then go infect a bunch of non-stupid people who knew better than to share food during a pandemic, and some of those smart people will die. For that, the stupid people who don’t die ought to go to jail.
I love it when violent right wing crackpots share their bodily fluids during the middle of a pandemic where the virus is transmitted in bodily fluids. Memo to local, state, and Federal law enforcement: let them infect each other and die. Adds new meaning to the phrase “live free and die!”
Toward the end of Thursday’s meeting, a former state senate candidate and marketing consultant in Bundy’s crew announced the latest effort to “further snub our noses in the faces of all these morons who are telling us what we can and cannot do”: An Easter service, followed by a potluck.
Considering this guy and his family got away with aiming weapons at the Feds (try that some time, Tyrone) and walked away with no consequences…I think he’ll be fine.
It’s almost like letting these people walk over and over isn’t the proper strategy for dealing with them?
Headline: “At least 70 people infected with coronavirus linked to a single church in California”.
This is in one church in Sacramento, CA. They held services against the order to avoid such gatherings
Have a ball, Ammon.
These folks have been anti-government since great-great-great granddaddy pushed his handcart across the plains with his 2 wives walking behind. I think the biggest issue with the coronavirus orders are that they came from outside. These people are fully capable of issuing edicts of their own AND making sure they’re enforced.
I say go ahead. But if I lived nearby, I’d avoid the local businesses.
Ammon bought into trump’s assertion that the virus is a hoax. He will continue to believe it up to the time he gets ill with covid-19. And even then he may still concoct some implausible conspiracy idea that “them ferriners did this to me”.
