The hypocrisy is really unbelievable. Can you even imagine what the media coverage would be if this were occurring all over the country led by truck driving, MAGA hat wearing, church going rednecks and good ol' boys who decided to loot, riot, pillage, and maim because they were fed up with the COVID-19 lockdowns?<br /> https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.foxnews.com/politics/george-floyd-unrest-big-city-mayors-coronavirus-lockdowns.amp<br /><br />Apparently the mayor of Minneapolis sent out the police...to pass out free face coverings to the rioters and looters to help prevent the spread of COVID-19. Talk about mixed up priorities!<br /><br />And Hawk I think you're definitely right that there's a politcal element to it, just like pretty much everything. That also explains why the media don't breathlessly report how the current batch of riots and protests aren't practicing social distancing and mask-shaming them for not wearing face coverings like they were doing to average folks going to the beach or to the store, or *gasp* going to the capitol to peacefully protest the suspension of their constitutional rights and the destruction of their economic lives caused by the lockdown.<br /><br />The media has totally pivoted because it sympathizes with the leftist agitators behind *these protests and riots* unlike the average working folks behind *the reopen the economy* protests. Again, just in your face hypocrisy. It's almost cartoonishly stupid.<br /><br />And yeah, like everything else it's all Trump's fault, obviously.<br />Coram Deohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05994831207453460486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6789188.post-69503189165133398762020-06-02T11:55:47.545-04:002020-06-02T11:55:47.545-04:00It is so disgusting particularly on social media. ...It is so disgusting particularly on social media.
