We know where you live.
Do tell, Terese. You realize you’re in a public forum, right?

the federal contract would “potentially quarantine and isolate, basically put us in a concentration camp.”
These nimrods have absolutely no idea what a concentration camp is, or they wouldn’t make such facile comparisons.
As John Oliver once said, New Hampshire is “Florida with foliage.”

So this is how the Rule Of Law dies in America – with rightwingers literally chasing a governor and state employees from their jobs with threats of violence.
Why weren’t these thugs arrested on the spot? Why are threats to public officials implicitly condoned?
And how, exactly, other than a noticeable absence of brown shirts and overt anti-Semitic slurs, are these tactics any different from those that led another democracy to slide toward Hell?

I’m ashamed of the governor and his staff for backing down over this protest. They should’ve continued to hold the meeting, even if over Zoom, and done what they set the meeting agenda to do.
Sununu wants a political future. Being a coward isn’t gonna cut it, regardless of the issue. He should’ve warned and then cleared the room if the protests were not stopped and then proceeded with the agenda.
Coward.

NH Bureau.of Investigation.should be knocking on her door. The least she could do is help them identify.the individuals who. disrupted her ‘pesceful’ protest.

They are actually succeeding in achieving their real goal which is to shut down all government functions. They clearly do not understand the consequences of their actions (although I am sure they think they do.)

I don’t think they do. They only understand their own wants and desires to the exclusion of anything and anyone else.

And WTF are the police, clearing the room and arresting people? Are they in the crowd shouting threats of violence or too busy posting the same on social media?

All Sununu had to do was say the word and it would’ve been done. Sure, there would’ve been wailing and gnashing of teeth. But to allow these thugs to continually disrupt meetings is to cow to their demands.
And I say again: Sununu is a coward.

There are laws prohibiting this. If you lack the desire to enforce them because you fear political fallout you deserve the mess you get from that.
This is being allowed to happen. It is happening more and more because it is being allowed to happen.

Seriously! They should be arrested and tried. “We know where you live!” is a not-so-subtle threat to their health and well-being. There are laws against such behavior!

Of the New England States, most of whom are in the high 60s% vaccinated, New Hampshire is a laggard at 61%. The newer mandates will go into effect whether the protesters like it or not and they can get the shot or they can get unemployed. Simple as that.

From yesterday’s Jewish News:
Holocaust survivor, Marion Weinzweig, 80, is frightened.
“It’s just so stupid — so scary — that people actually believe them. All of the United States is starting to get scary for me.”
Another survivor, Rise Stillman, 91, said it is unbelievable that anybody would compare COVID precautions to the Holocaust.
“There simply is no comparison,” Stillman said. “The Nazis were taking lives and killing people and the government here is trying to save lives and save people from having to go to a hospital.”
Michael Beyo, the grandson of Holocaust survivors, said he and his siblings are the only living relatives of his grandparents’ families.
“I grew up amongst many survivors with their numbers tattooed on their arms that I would see every morning in shul while they wrapped their tefillin on,” he said. “I am that person that has been violently attacked verbally and physically numerous times because I am a proud Jew, and as one, I wear my kippah.”
Linking mask requirements and/or vaccine mandates to the Holocaust is insulting to the memory of Jews and non-Jews who perished at the hands of the Nazi regime, he said.
“The star that my grandmother wore and that is still in my family was to target her for death. The J stamped on her ID documents was to target her for death. The comparison (even when done by Jews) is antisemitic.”
