Hello Dutch Uncle,
Highly irresponsible.
"We won't be social distancing."
-No masks required-
How dumb is THAT?
And that is not to mention the tremendous fire potential.
"Friday's event will mark the first time there's been a fireworks event at the national memorial since 2009. It was called off after that because of a mountain pine beetle infestation in the area, which left dead ponderosa pine trees susceptible to fire. "
"Beyond the potential health risk, though, some are concerned the fireworks show could pose a threat to the surrounding natural environment. Cheryl Schreier, who was superintendent of the national memorial from 2010 to 2019, wrote an op-ed for The Washington Post, saying fireworks pose a danger to public safety, and natural and cultural resources.
She said that should there be a wildfire sparked by the fireworks or any other emergency during the event, it could be difficult to get adequate emergency services to the site in a timely manner.
"Thanks to an extremely dry summer, South Dakota faces a higher than usual risk of wildfires," Schreier wrote."

You should really forfeit your right to lead people if you don't encourage even basic precautions to protect their lives & health.

That wasn't my point. I'm saying that I've seen a very different response coming from the left regarding the same violation of rules that BLM and Antifa have done.
The point is that I don't believe most of the left even really cares about public safety. They just use COVID restrictions as a means to suppress people they don't agree with, while making excuses for those they do agree with.

Hello Woko Haram,
The liberal media covered the protests and talked about the risk, the social distancing, the ill-advised non-compliance. The data-scant studies showing little spread due to the protests did not come out until weeks later.
And again, the inescapable mistake being made here, which leads directly to this biased impression that it is only one side which does this, is futilely trying to treat 'the left' as one entity.
It is true there are generally common views on the right and on the left, but the reality is that both sides of the political spectrum consist of millions of individuals, each of them with different views. If one side sees different views coming out of the other side, perhaps not always in agreement, that is reality being observed. Different people have different views. This is true on the left and it is true on the right.
Think about this. If you are conservative, look at other people who are also conservative. They are not all the same. Not all like you. You got most of the military, most police, very rich and powerful people, conservative talk show hosts, rural dwellers, farmers, evangelicals, the rich but not super-rich, company owners, a lot of doctors and lawyers, energy industry workers, the uneducated, some deplorable people, hate groups, white supremacists, a lot of rich old white guy lifer politicians, greedy selfish people who pay no taxes, MAGAKAG people, some macho tough guy celebrities, gun rights people, and on and on.
Those people are not all the same. Not at all. I would be absurd to expect a consistent message out of all of them.
And it's much the same way with the left. The left covers an even wider spectrum of different lives and different reasons for supporting the causes and leaders they do. There are religious Black Rights activists and supporters, BLM, SPLC, gay rights supporters, women's rights, abortion rights advocates, gun law advocates, recreational drug freedom advocates, environmental advocates, anti-drilling people, Native American rights advocates, worker unions, universal health care advocates, DACA dreamers, immigrant rights groups, antifa, anti-corruption advocates, Wealth Inequity protestors, overpopulation awareness groups such as ZPG, frequently the ACLU, food safety advocates, product safety advocates, food nutrition advocates, homeless helpers, public education advocates, those who simply think of others and tend to speak up for the disadvantaged who lack resources or the simple knowledge of how to better themselves through no fault of their own, non unionized worker rights advocates such Fight For Fifteen, and on and on.
With all of this quite well known, it is illogical to expect a consistent message out of either side.

"When government fears the people, there is liberty. When the people fear the government, there is tyranny."
A lie doesn't become the truth, wrong doesn't become right, and evil doesn't become good just because it is accepted by a majority.
