ReplyDeletePeople better think twice before they run a person out of a store that doesn't have a mask on around here. Doing that would be considered an attack and I would pull a weapon on you.
^^^ And then you would go to jail. Forever.
ReplyDeleteOk, Karen.
ReplyDeleteNo one can say if the Swedish approach is the correct one unless there is a second wave and Sweden avoids its worst effects because they have built a herd immunity from allowing it to go through its population this time.
^^^^ So callous with other people's lives. You obviously don't care about anyone but yourself, not your family or your neighbors. Shame on you!
ReplyDelete^^^ stay in your basement then dummy
ReplyDeleteLookie here at the Ruffy Tuffy Hardass at 9:47!!
ReplyDeleteThe balls on him to threaten this theoretical shopkeeper!!
I mean have you ever seen such brazen machismo?!!
LIke these protesters at state capitals with their AKs, holy shit I wish one of them would actually try and use the thing and get wiped away like the true shitstain they are.
@ 11:38 Why ?
ReplyDeleteQue?
ReplyDelete^^^^ Well Johnny, because seeing one of their nut-case inbred MAGA cousins shot to rags would sent the rest of them running back to their trailers - or rather back to the "prepper" foxholes they've dug under their trailers, where they can cry like babies and shit their pants in fear without their sister/wives laughing at them even more than they do already.
ReplyDelete^^^^Ha!MAGA CHUDS. They're the worst aren't they? How come all these gun-dummies that you see with their AR-15's strapped to their backs are always so fat & ugly? Is their gun a substitute for a girlfriend? Makes you wonder.
ReplyDelete@ 7:57 Makes me wonder....what exactly ?
ReplyDelete^^Why you failed at life.
ReplyDelete@ 8:19 Are you dehydrated ? I'll just bet you would feel better if you drank some water.
ReplyDeleteMahoney served his country in Iraq. Give him a break.
ReplyDeleteIt seems pretty simple now -- get a mask if you're going to be close to others or stay six feet away. Wash your hands a lot. That's about it. Do anything you want within these parameters. It's pretty clear that we closed down the economy way too much and too many businesses were shut down. About everything could have remained open. Nursing homes were definitely an exception. If it would have been that dangerous, everyone going to Target, Walmart, liquor stores, etc. would have been sick by now.
ReplyDeleteYes, 9:47 is going to do something that might get him free anal for 40 years, because he feels he is a Patriot with a cap gun vs a respectful and lawful gun owner. Please turn in your weapons 947, you don't act like any gun owner I know.
