Decorum and chivalry at all costs. Not a big ask at all. Thanks for the wise words.
None of the typical war mongering patriots will have anything constructive to add, so don't hold your breath for their two cents.
An estimated 60% of U.S. businesses that have closed since the start of the coronavirus pandemic have folded permanently, according to a report published by Yelp on Wednesday.
Yelp said in the analysis, which was based on self-recorded closures in the app’s database, that 163,735 American establishments shuttered between the beginning of March and the end of August, and 97,966 won’t reopen.
Unless the goal is to tank the economy and run people out of business, then it's a raging success.

So...Fiery but mostly peaceful is ok, right ?
Actually, I think it's high time The People made their voices heard. Not through violence like BLM and ANTIFA, but these "leaders" need to understand that folks are sick and tired of the lockdowns, mandates and vaccines that are obviously not effective.

"The end of August"
How many more have closed since then and won't be reopening ? How many more will close when New York locks down again ?
If nothing else, Omicron has proven we are not going to avoid this with past/current policies. The lockdowns didn't work, the "wear mask at all times" is a joke and the vaccines aren't working the way people think they do.
You can still get sick, you can still spread it and you can still die from it, despite all the mandates that have been rolled out.
People are tired of following leaders who don't abide by their own rules.

I remember when the left was always up the government's azz, didn't ever trust them, now they pretty much like to make the government's tea. Is as well as I can put it to keep below the censoring guidelines.
It's weird because even if I don't agree with a cause or position, I firmly believe in the right to protest, and it's the first thing the authoritarians among us want to curtail.
That said it's New York, would have thought long ago they would have been doing this, honestly, I believe it's too far gone, and too many like-minded people are now in control.
Yes I wouldn't be surprised if there is something that happens that becomes a reason to lockdown or worse

I'll call it a set up.
Because that's what it looks like to me.
