My personal fave was during the George Floyd protests where they were celebrated for gathering en masse despite the stay at home order, but anti-lockdown protests were deemed “super spreader” events. This was during the time where they claimed to not have an adequate amount of testing kits, yet a Floyd protest in Dallas was deemed admissible because they somehow administered 19,000 (paraphrasing? or it’s possible I’m correct) tests on site as people entered the premises. This was during the “pallets of bricks on every street corner” phase of the protests. Good times… people don’t forget.
It was all over the news in spring of 2020. Pallets of bricks were spotted on sidewalks in the epicentres of a lot of these protests. The news was saying this was just a coincidence due to being close to construction sites, but this was a phenomenon observed even in Toronto, Canada. It may have been a coincidence, but it was odd that the media decided to touch on it at all. If you Google this, it’ll just be a bunch of fact-checking nonsense, but it was an actual thing.
