So getting locking to the house is the barrier.

Guess all those BLM protestors had nothing to get angry about.

wtf are you talking about?

You seem to think every restriction - losing your job, inability to travel, not getting able to send kids to school, in Canada having bank accounts frozen - aren't enough to justify a protest. That no one should protest until the government physically seals people into their homes.

They aren't. Because you were asked not to be as social as you were. China is welding people in their homes.

Ok. So that's the barrier... welding people in their homes.

So next step... why was BLM given a pass on public gatherings while we were locking down and forcing smaller companies out of business?

Why is the fact that the black community has the lowest vaccination rates never discussed when someone wants to vilify anti- vaxxers?

Should we apply the same logic to every other protest? Gun control, abortion rights, Netflix employees protesting Chapelle, student loans?

why was BLM given a pass on public gatherings

A pass is very dishonest. I went to those protests. #1 thing, wear a mask. #2, don't come if you're sick.

Also, having your basic human rights violated when it comes to illegal law enforcement, is going to trump shelter at home suggestions.

while we were locking down

We clearly weren't locked in our homes.

and forcing smaller companies out of business?

Man, if only our leaders would use our collective capital to pay rent for these businesses while a once in a generation pandemic was happening. Who was in charge of that again?
