The woman in that video is just plain batshit crazy.

If she's like that in the video I can only imagine how she'd react if she was on an atm service call with me. She would probably need restraints.

People walk by me all the time. What's weird is most of the atm's I work on are at local stop and robs and the atm's are by the front doors of the store. Most of the stores have double doors and customers can generally walk through either door. They all tend to walk by the door nearest the atm. I'm not invisible, they see me and walk right by me.

Social distancing, what's that?

Some quarantine commentary

I'm sure its no surprise to anyone but Facebook is further killing the 1st amendment.

Can things like Facebook, Twitter and Youtube become so ubiquitous, universally used that they loose their private domain and become public entities?

The question is: Are they medium or a content provider? If they are a content provider they are subject to lawsuits.

Facebook, Twitter, and every other private entity have nothing to do the with the First Amendment. The First Amendment limits only government restrictions on speech.

For example, Para could not like what you or I say, and in turn ban us from this forum. It would not be a First Amendment issue, no matter how much you or I complain that our speech is being stifled.

I don’t know about Twatter, but Facebook and YouTube(owned by google) are bought and paid for by the GDC’s.

No. Universal usage and popularity will not turn them into governmental entities.

That doesn't keep them from trying to have it both ways.

Just saw the Blue Angels and the Thunderbirds on the news over NY. They did not appear to be social distancing those aircraft.

This mayor needs to be sued for this stupid shit.

MONTICELLO — People who want to enter White County businesses without the proper protection during the COVID-19 health emergency will have to stay in the car or at home for at least the next two weeks.

Those who violate Monticello Mayor Cathy Gross’ and the White County Commission’s newest updated executive order could face Class B misdemeanor charges, up to 180 days in jail and a fine of up to $1,000.

Gross and the county commissioners issued an extension Tuesday to a previous emergency declarations, in lockstep with state, federal and health guidelines, regarding essential businesses and operations. It will be in effect until 12:01 a.m. May 6.

The orders include the following:

Essential retail businesses and operations shall allow only one person per family into their store at a time.
Children younger than 16 years of age will not be allowed inside an essential retail business or operation.
Every person who enters into an essential retail business or operation must wear a mask that covers the nose and mouth.
No more than two customers are allowed inside an essential retail business or operation per 1,000 square feet of retail space.
If an essential business or operation has more than 62,000 square feet of retail space, allowance is capped at 125 customers at one time.
Essential retain businesses and operations shall monitor and enforce these orders.
All those considered “at-risk” are encouraged to avoid all public gatherings.
All previous executive orders shall continue in full force and effect.

It is unclear whether any additional travel restrictions will be put in place or if drive-through, curbside pickup and delivery food services will still be allowed to operate.

This didnt take long... Update to the Mississippi open carry ban.

NYC Mayor de Blasio, NYPD 'breaking up' rabbi's funeral attended by hundreds

quote:

“My message to the Jewish community, and all communities, is this simple: the time for warnings has passed,” de Blasio tweeted. “I have instructed the NYPD to proceed immediately to summons or even arrest those who gather in large groups. This is about stopping this disease and saving lives. Period.”

I can't post what I actually wish to say, so I'll just leave this H.L. Mencken quote here:

“Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.”

I post this, not to be centric to Jews, nor to call attention to our people, but to show how such things can become the reality when people think "this can never happen here" or "this can never happen to us".

Yes, it most certainly can, and will, if we do not realize it and stop it.

I for one, do not wish to navigate the sewers as did my forbears in Warsaw, but I did crawl in sewers as a young child (out of odd curiosity from hearing such stories) and will do so if it becomes necessary.

We are being gamed.

Perhaps, well-meaning people, in positions of health and government, took the steps they believed to be prudent at the time (because the first half believed a threat, and the other half believed the first half) to limit the damage from a new disease, but that crazy train left the station long ago and took a dirt track well off the reservation, and was last seen on its way to Willoughby...


"PUSH PUSH PUSH!!!"

Six million Jews, along with the more than ten times the number of Gentiles, would love to bend your ear about such things.

So the same de Blasio who initially refused to close the schools (the greatest petri dish in modern society) over the Wuhan Flu is now getting militant in breaking up funerals?
