Shelter In Place, Leave Only To Riot Or Protest

George Floyd died On May 25. That's almost two weeks ago. Prior to that day America was in a shelter-in- place directive by health officials backed up in varying degrees by local, state and federal governments. But then Floyd died on May 25th. But it then became OK to ignore the health directive and leave one's shelter to protest or riot. What happened to the threat of the coronavirus? One person died -George Floyd because of mishandled police work. And then large parts of the country are vandalized. Some people died in the riots. Many stores were driven out of business because of rioters. In short the protest riots did more damage than the corona virus ever thought of doing. Here we are two weeks later. Any resurgence of Covid-19 because of the crowding of people in the streets. I have not heard or read of any such new break out. But the riots and protests still go on and are scheduled into the months of the calendar ahead.In short the only ones to really have lost are the law abiding ones who followed the law and stayed in their shelter while the dog whistle loonies are in the street making life more difficult for the law abiders by erasing business locations that were their only hope.
