Absolutely! I’m on it. Perhaps you could pray for me as I just had my gallbladder removed yesterday?

The George Floyd protesters and the protesters who were on the steps of the Michigan capitol building.

Which group would endanger the public if they slipped on the steps and wildly grabbed their tools?

Both groups did wear some masks, by the way.

OK…so your morality is based on making things up? Fact is the Michigan protest was peaceful. Fact is many of the BLM protests were not.

Your moral argument seems to be quite relativistic.

Protesting the death of a black man at the hands of law enforcement and pushing for systemic change vs. pre-election rallies for a sitting president… Does no one else see why these might not be equal circumstances?

From a COVID19 perspective: No!
From a legal perspective, meaning the first amendment right to peaceable assembly: No!

You’re just advocating a two-tier system based on your opinion.
 
Or I was suggesting a moral standpoint and you simply disagree with me. 😊
 
I do see that one difference is that most of the protests recently for BLM were outdoors.

A rally indoors, especially with concession stands and bathrooms will ensure close contact.

And sadly, many don’t wear masks. The president won’t wear one.

Adding, he likes to also push the narrative on how many seats are filled, and how many people are waiting to get in. Will he just allow half of the seats to be filled?

People storming government buildings while armed is equally concerning to me.
 
Open carry is by its nature threatening. What is it for other than to say , “look at my gun, I’ll use it so don’t interfere with me.”

How is the observer supposed to know the difference between an open carry enthusiast and a spree shooter. Wait until the shooting starts?
 
Well, actually, as long as he refuses to wear a mask, this is arguably true.

This is how the media portrays us, but in reality the vast majority of us look at the candidates running and say “Really? This is the best we could come up with?”…and then vote against the guy we think would be worst.
 
A rally for the president poses a coronavirus risk. A Black Lives Matter protest poses a coronavirus risk. Any large gathering in close quarters poses a coronavirus risk. The virus doesn’t care about your party affiliation, it just wants a warm host.

You can impose whatever value judgement you choose to, others will do the same, and the virus will do neither.

Food is a matter of survival, i.e., feeding ones family so they don’t starve is a moral obligation and should not be morally equivalent to protesting!

It is why in the declaration life comes before liberty.

Well, at least your consistent, but the floodgates have been open so any attempts at closing them will only further the political divide between left and right.

You asked me to compare the two and I did. Don’t complain about making a comparison now.

storm·ing /ˈstôrmiNG/

noun
  1. the sudden forceful attack and capture of a building or other place by troops.

The above is first definition I came across for “storming”.

Do you suppose that term better fits the Michigan protesters, who did not use force, nor did the capture the building, OR does it better fit the protesters that took over the police precinct in Minneapolis, by force?

Which one of the two examples bothers you more?
