Chicago Protesters Call For End To Illinois Coronavirus Lockdown | Hallie Jackson | MSNBC
When I see protesters carrying firearms…I don’t think patriots protecting us from tyranny…I see, insecure, afraid beta males hugging their security blankets.
@Josef free to shoot at the corona virus. Or ropes to lynch the virus.
What’s next oppressing the virus.
This looks like fear not freedom.
Why do people start talking about penises and how the government can and should crush us? You can have your kinks, but let’s not base the American system around it.
@Mignon Simpson saying “I’m not anti-gun, I’ve got Granddaddy’s shotgun…and a knife” is like saying “I’m not a racist, I’ve got black friends”.
@TheWin200000 I’m an old lady now. I did not say I have guns. You are very presumptuous. I was given my grandfather’s gun and taught how to used it by a father who hunted and ate what he killed. This was not unusual in the south. The fact that I was a girl and taught these skills was rather unusual. The idea of brandishing firearms in public would never have been tolerated and I am not willing to silently tolerate it. I was taught a lot of gun related and hunting related skills and taught to be responsible. I find it rather amusing that it was illegal to own a sawed off shotgun or a machine gun. When I was a child but you can not only own but brandish an ak47 and it’s like publicly no less in a state house.
The Black Panthers had armed protests.
I think that trump should hold a rally in Illinois and fill the entire stadium with no one wearing masks…just to show everyone how safe it really is….
@DabCat 716 then explain why Fauci said in Febuary that we wouldn’t have a pandemic here only to change his tune 3 weeks later to his current stance which is based on 2.2 million people dying from the model they loaded into the computer . So it spit out the results they wanted . Now that those numbers haven’t occured he needs to adjust the program to the actual data we have collected and stop using that poorly constructed model
a bunch of old people susceptible to respiratory illnesses have passed. not exactly tragic.
Serge Ménard I think the mayor of Chicago should walk around the neighborhood Obama organized without her armed body guards.
@Patrick Kenyon Which state? I can’t find this story anywhere, just the opposite, that farmers are getting ready to plant.
@T G It was Michigan. I think they changed it because of the protests.
Hello again, to those commenters in the land of cognitive dissonance!
@Trill Collins No.
@john emeigh no proof other than opinion, which is why he is still president and every attempt to remove him has been a failure and a sham.

@Tricia K I think you are on to something.
@Sudhir Kakar A good chunk of our economy is service, travel, entertainment. You want to open it before a wast majority of people feel safe, it won’t help keep people in business, they will be paying their expenses and salaries, but hardly anyone will be coming in. I stopped my family from going to the restaurants and fast food places the day after we got a 3rd and 4th case in the city. Until average new daily positive cases in the state drop to 1 for every 100,000 residents, I wouldn’t even think about going to a movie theater, even with social distancing in place. Going out to eat, even longer. New clothes can wait, haircuts too. Dental cleaning would be nice , but risky. Vacation is not looking likely this year with a spouse out of work. Unemployment covers the necessities, but not the extras. So the only way to make sure the economy comes back is to make sure the new cases drop significantly and if you open too early, that’s just going to stretch out the pain.
Good! Finally, people are standing up to these tyrants
Let’s play a game. How many times will he touch his mask?
It’s against Coronavirus protection rules
0:35
1:15
1:30
2:00 – “Oops, screw it, I’ve already touched it three times; it’s worthless, but I have to keep up the facade.”

Are you going to support me and my child? If you’re not confident in your health, stay home in fear forever and let the strong ones go back to work.
@Tricia K – Nah, we can’t be! The videos have been scrubbed from YouTube and now Vimeo. I mean, if the Leftist media is reporting them, and the Leftists at those companies are taking them down, then surely the plans can’t be real, can they? 😲 No one’s afraid of anything, are they? No one’s controlling the truth, are they? Everyone’s just enjoying their time at home away from everyone, taking a relaxing vacation from their job and enjoying it so much they may never return to it. Who would pick on our President for doing things he didn’t do or claiming he’d not done things soon enough when they were whining about how stupid he was for his plan. Why would anyone protest all this time off work and maybe never going back, or maybe just not to the good jobs they had before or never reopening their business. 🤨
Its easy to sit in judgement when you have a job where you can continue to work, and you have the resources to support your family. What about these people who have no job; who pays for their food, their rent, their medical bills? How long do they expect people to survive on the pittance given by our government; one month’s minimum wage, which is too little to live on, yet they are expected to make it last 6 months?

@Tim M Illinois here. got paid 2.5 weeks after applying.
Perhaps people should learn how to save money and invest in themselves instead of supporting businesses. I know a family that spends about $400.00 a month going out to each. Hmmmm…$4800.00 a year $57,600 over 12 years is what they could save. I’m only 25 and have put away enough money to last about 12 months without pay. People can do those things if they can change habits.
That’s the problem. Some people in both America and Canada (I’m Canadian) are infuriated by the media judging them because those people still earn a pay check. This includes nurses, reporters, and politicians. Social distancing maybe a good way to stop Covid, but certain people won’t care because they only see people who still can earn money, criticizing them.
Og_i get an essential job
Almost 2 months into quarantine:
US reporters: lets start wearing masks NOW.

@Tricia K yes this vaccine thng bothers me as they keep claiming they will have one faster than ever before .But we don’t have an AIDS vaccine in 35 years and that is a virus . Foci worked on aids so I don’t think he is so brilliant we don’t have vaccines for most f the new viruses . So locking down on a disease that kills a small prcentage like 8/thousandths of one percent
No such thing as a U.S. ‘reporter’, if they are part of the mainstream media which are nothing but script readers for a 100% Corrupt Inverted-Totalitarian Police-State Government that needs to be dealt with Medievely by citizens orgsnized into guerilla armies.
@James Johnson wow you are absolutely correct sir
William Izm America itself let’s start wearing masks now haha at this point the government is just seeing how much freedom they can take
Pritzker’s wife is enjoying the sun in Florida
@Jason Riordan Hunter Biden is a crackhead
@Jason Riordan well when ur family break laws you yourself yet in place hate to break it to yah but they become involved in politics
G Gresham Florida also has the lowest death rate and doesn’t have these draconian measures because we have a Republican governor who ACTUALLY goes by the data and doesn’t just say he does. He also let religious organizations choose for themselves how to handle congregations instead of impose his own method.
@G G yah I get that not my point my point is she broke the law he put into place
Shame
There’s like twenty people there
Bill Lunebach
Me too. Democrats have to be Ship to outer space
Donald Kasper
That’s right
@Bill Lunebach not true speak for yourself, I live here

My hair is about to start a revolution and I am powerless to stop it. I try to manage it’s luscious locks in vain. I’m scared.
I have a really good set of Wahl clippers. Come hither.
Cut it !
@Cloud 78 Freedom Easier said than done.
Spent 4 hours trying to french braid mine because it’s so unruly. Struggle is real
I cut my hair for the first time and my zoomers loved my cut.
3 months ago, i said banks and utilities need to freeze bills or protestors will start protesting and then scaling walls of the rich. Part 1 is under way, part 2 to come
My utility did so before the lockdown
Well it looks like the rich are winning then if they’re wanting to go back to work to make the rich wealthier.. 🤔
First Last when they go back to work I’m thinking they probably get paid
riots and cities burning are a short time period away
@Keepit Ahunnid LOL
United we are strong
He’s got a nose, everybody. Mystery solved.
I feel really bad for the doctors and nurses
@Rusty Shackleford Grow up with the name calling, if you want to debate. Childish.
@Rusty Shackleford actually yeah they do. Look it up shitforbrains.
@Galaxy Phone don’t bother, idiots like him never learn
@Bunter Hiden ya no lie. My brother is a nurse at Christ hospital in Chicago he got infected while working and didn’t even know for a week until the hospital called him and told him to come in to test him cause he was in contact with a coved patient. My brother tested positive for Corona and was sent home. He lives with his wife so she was obviously infected they be kissing lol. She had no symptoms and my brother had a stuffed nose worse was he could not taste anything . Both are fine working again. My bro was off only like a week lol. Crazy right.
@Flex yeah I was talking about those who own or work for ‘non-essential’ small businesses which will not be able to recover. Jobs and livelihoods down the toilet for an illness with a 99.X % survival rate where most people have either no symptoms or mild symptoms. Deaths are pretty rare.
Strange how the media suddenly thinks masks are important and started wearing them now.
Why haven’t you been wearing a mask every day of your life up to this point then? Thousands die from all sorts of diseases every year not just this one. Stay in your house the rest of your life. Nobody will care.
Troy Rombyer I have a number of masks and they protect me and you from me. I care. 67,000 deaths in 2 months . A cruel virus that destroys your lungs , kidneys liver and brain.. you want to defy it for political or unfathomable reasons? Suicidal huh!
Troy Rombyer why do you want to commit such a cruel form of suicide?
Troy Rombyer That’s the whole point genius…to not spread it to anyone else
Byron Williams That is why I wear mask and practice social distancing. I don’t need crowds
Illinois governors wife was busted visiting their home in Florida.
Democrats do as I say not as I do. Tyrants = Democrats. Vote Red in November, throw these blue state hypocrites out.
Sitting in their 12 million dollar mansion, probably not social distancing from the staff haha
So Ivanka Trump went to New Jersey (a hotspot) for passover despite her fathers stay at home orders…..oh I forgot that is fake news….but everyone believes the article they red bout the Governors wife.
it’s fake news don’t believe everything you read online.
@Shela Shela – Except some of the problems with that statement are:
A. Her father doesn’t issue stay-at-home orders because, well, you know, “state’s rights.”
B. Passover was also a couple weeks past the end of the March 16, 2020 “15 Days to Slow the Spread” [https://www.whitehouse.gov/articles/15-days-slow-spread/] campaign.
Even with that, the only thing in there that might have told her she “couldn’t go” was “1. Listen to and follow the directions of your state and local authorities.” That was only Executive Orders barked by the local governors, many of which became ridiculous and dictatorial, more than anything else. Other than that, the rest from The White House was actually a very reasonable set of guidelines, not much unlike what normal, hygienic behavior should be. Yes, it was then extended to 30 more days on April 01, 2020. But still, only the dictatorial governors are telling people other than those who are sick or were exposed to someone who is sick. Ivanka’s father isn’t one of those dictators; Mrs. Pritzker’s husband is.
Well if everyone can go to the beach then they should be able to work
Exactly!
Pumpkin Pritzker don’t care. He and his wife move about freely.
So does the virus
I’m proud of you fellow patriots!!
God bless those protesters… This isn’t China IT’S AMERICA
