It's funny how that works huh? A few weeks ago before Saint George, the patron saint of violently resisting arrest, died at the hands of a police officer, any gatherings of more than 20 people was certain death. It was so deadly in fact that multiple mayors of liberal cities threatened extreme penalties for anyone who violated the social distancing guidelines. Isn't it a bit funny to you that once the issue the people are protesting changes, the stance on social distancing also completely changes?
The protest on the right up there was attacked by the media pretty much universally for being a bunch of selfish assholes who only cared about themselves and were killing their family and neighbors. They media went on to label them as white-supremacists even though there were people of all races in their ranks, and there was absolutely nothing racially-oriented about the protest. The only law these people broke was the fact that they did not have a permit for the protest, which is a dumb process anyway.
The media tried to make them look stupid by highlighting the people who were obviously joking such at the "I need a haircut" guy and the liberal looney f**kwits with cranial capacity of a labradoodle immediately soaked it up as these very large protests were reduced to being a group of white nationalists who want haircuts.... their overall message was all but ignored. It is worth noting that there was no destruction of property, no looting, no rioting, and very few arrests at any of these protests nationwide.
Enter Saint George Floyd, who was actually a horrible person that multiple arrests one of which where he held a pregnant woman at gunpoint(with gun pointed at her unborn baby) while he robbed her and the attitude towards people gathering in large groups all but disappears.
Corrupt Washington DC mayor Muriel Bowser threatened jail time and fines of $5,000 for people violation stay at home orders to protest the lockdown, but when the protests for Saint Floyd happened, she practically endorsed them.
The groups protesting for BLM nationwide caused a tremendous amount of property damage including hilarious damage such as burning down an Arby's (above). What in the living hell does Arby's have to do with BLM, or racism, or anything for that matter, you unbelievable morons.
The media did everything they could to pain these protests as virtuous and necessary while in the meantime all that someone who actually lived in these areas had to do was open the window in order to see that it was the opposite (again) of what the media was trying to portray. It was chaos, there was no message, it was a large group of hooligans rioting, indiscriminately breaking things, and stealing stuff.
The media's coverage of all of this is infuriating and now that conservatives are unwilling to participate in lockdowns because it apparently doesn't apply anymore due to BLM idiotic rioting that the cities did next to nothing to prevent or punish they are going back to saying that Covid is dangerous again and even published articles to suggest that the BLM gatherings didn't cause a spike in Covid cases but a Trump rally in a controlled environment is reported as doing the opposite of that even though this is obviously medically impossible to anyone with half a brain.
Don't get the wrong idea. I think the Corona-virus is an overhyped slightly more deadly flu, and the media and the government overlords use it selectively to demonize or even prevent gatherings that do not fit into their agenda. My own family had a funeral that we could not attend under threat of legal repercussions, yet St. George Floyd the Felon has 200 funerals across the country at massive gatherings with people who he did not know including dickhole politicians (including Joe Biden) who didn't even know the guy that are looking for a photo op to pander to black voters.
The hypocrisy is maddening and even worse are the sheep in my FB feed that buy into it.

media... what are we gonna do with these lies. I honestly don't think anyone who is involved in journalism has any interest in actually telling the truth anymore.
i would think there is a pretty good case for saying that they aren't interested in the truth at all.
we gotta get rid of this rona man! I can't even travel inside of my own country right now. The other day some friends of mine were trying to take their RV into a national park and the unmanned entrance said it was closed due to Covid 19. They went in anyway only to discover loads of people were already in there.
People aren't going to stay home much longer - the government better get their shit together because well, it's been long enough.
