Simple way to solve all the issues with states not enacting or enforcing masking rulesā€¦ CUT THEM OFF the Federal dole.

Savages. Anti-American, anti-mask anarchists. Death cult worshippers.

Who is the organizer of these protestors? Maskers should find out and harrass them at their homes. Turn about is fair play Iā€™m thinking.

Maybe a little tear gas would do the trick? Only slightly kidding.
Maybe arrest white people when they do this? Not kidding at all (says an old WASP).
Get a grip police chiefs. This is going to be your reality for some time.

Ahhh. Democracy in action. I wonder how many of these rubes didnā€™t vote. Not quite what the founders had in mind.

Now, now. We should just reach out to these people, and make an effort to understand their concerns. Yeah, thatā€™s itā€¦

Dumb motherfkers. These are the yahoos led by Ammon Bundy of the Malheur Forest Occupation fame. I doubt seriously if heā€™s doing this because of his ā€˜rightsā€™ but because he canā€™t stand being out of the spotlight and he has nothing else. Heā€™s been over there since the summer stirring up sht. LORD I am tired of stupid people.

People should find out who these people are and make sure the public knows their identities.

Endangering children to is the first non-starter in all of this. And lets not quibble, frightening a child is not the thing I worry about the most, though it is not good either. If these people are willing to do something as arrogant and unthinking, violence is one short step away.

If you donā€™t wish to wear a mask based on your right to personal freedom. Lovely.
Just sign a document that states that you will pay for your own health care should you become ill with Covid and that you will not take up space in any hospital.

You missed the implied ā€œsnarkā€ tag. These people are walking turds. What we really need to see are some arrests, prosecutions, convictions, and punishments. Theyā€™re getting away with this crap, so theyā€™ll just keep doing it.

ā€œThere is no place for this behavior in Idaho.ā€

There SHOULDNā€™T be a place for this in Idaho. Or Michigan. Or Florida. Or wherever the foul trumpist tentacles spread next. Unfortunately, there is Indeed a place for this behavior and itā€™s called the Republifuckin party.

Is it time to start sending these to Bundy yet?

All those ā€˜protestersā€™ were carrying guns, and they have no fear of any punishment at all. Look at Ammon Bundy, walking around a free man. Their ā€˜free speechā€™ = Rush or Trump or Hannity can lie to them 24/7 with no repercussions. I donā€™t hold out much hope for America lately, and Idaho is probably ground zero.
