Sounds like government intrusion.

do i smell libertarian arguments creeping in

do i need to increase my authright agressiveness

sounds kind of like the fascism Trump is accused of all the time. Government decree says wear a mask or else.

um

Masks do not help the country in terms of Covid and those same states would have an increased number of cases.

> sounds kind of like the fascism Trump is accused of all the time. Government decree says wear a mask or else.
@Wardog i keep thinking of that meme a while back where Italian Mayors sent out police armed with flamethrowers

It’s more that enforcing a measure that is useless and gives a false sense of security is both dangerous to health and increased government power.

I dont remember that meme

hol up flamethrowers

Under President Trump, we are experiencing the Covid death rate lowering and the Case hospitalization lowering as well.

> I dont remember that meme
@Wardog i cant exactly remember but it was something along those lines

wait found the article

https://nationalpost.com/news/world/we-will-send-police-with-flame-throwers-italian-mayors-lose-it-at-people-refusing-to-self-isolate

they only threatened to do it

holy shit.

however based flamethrower cops may be, i think the mayor saying that was not very okie dokie

to be fair, they were being ignored, but ah well

leftists normally: f the police acab!!!!!
leftists during the covid: flamethrower cop arrest anyone who go outside!!!

sorry p0ke

Also, just got back. I was talking to a friend. You know that cops were using tear gas to hurt protesters.

generalization do be kinda fun tho

Flamethrowers are nice but the Germans will digress.

dude, what else would they use

Yeah these are violent rioters at this point.

LOL Tear gas hurts, but doesn't permanently injure.

tear gas is a quick and easy way to disperse riots/protests without any serious or permanent injuries

They could shoot people like they do in China.

If that’s what you recommend

gOoD IdeA

I'm fine with cops using tear gas

> Also, just got back. I was talking to a friend. You know that cops were using tear gas to hurt protesters.
@P0ke the only way you'd possibly get hurt with tear gas is if you decided to take a hard long hit out of a tear gas grenade

using tear gas to disperse violent rioters that refuse to disperse after police ask them too several times...

They use tear gas in prison against violent prisoners and during riots.

> dude, what else would they use
@RentalCleric You're saying tear gas is fine to use.

i am

yeah

Tear gas is good. (safe alternative)

That;s harsh.

assuming you didn't get dunked in the head with said grenade

what else do you do when people are in large numbers being violent? apparently asking them not to doesnt work
