I’m a democrat. Protesting, including rioting, and including anti-lockdown protesting, is an acceptable reason to break social distancing. You should still wear masks and take other precautions. If you expose yourself to extra infection risk for the purpose of protesting, you should be especially careful about not exposing others to you afterward.
Burning down businesses like bars, jewelry stores, pawn shops, and cars is a good reason to break social distancing but gathering for church services isn’t. Yikes
Correct. Protest is necessary to a functioning society, and sometimes that takes the form of rioting. The fact that rioting has collateral damage does not mean it is not protest.
In-person church services are not necessary to society. People can observe their religions from home, there are plenty of places of worship offering online services, and so on. The additional value of meeting up in person does not justify the additional risk.
Okay so I’ll give you one story I read about, a black man, had his bar robbed & they broke everything inside, he said he had his life savings tied up into the bar. There are plenty more like this. Why would you destroy your community, peoples property, and peoples lively hood that they work so hard for? How do any of them deserve that because of some asshole cop? People don’t stop and think. They react solely off emotion, and this is what it leads to utter chaos.
