Keep your people safe.
What do you mean by “your people”?
@Jeffrey Dahmer The people of his city

@Jeffrey Dahmer so you’re being stupid every where you go.
@Jeffrey Dahmer your people, meaning the people who elected him to represent them in the district, township or city. Any MORE QUESTIONS? RIGHT! I THOUGHT SO.
Do the right thing..even if they hate you.. good for you
Guess you like dictators.
@Jeffrey Dahmer telling that a racist troll uses the name of one of the few transracial serial killers….
Peoples Republic of Ninj 😂 🤣 These Trumpets are truly brain dead. 😂
muzzle up you
Well then vote TRUMP 2020 🇺🇲….(It’ll be a landslide anyways).
Thank God Montgomery has an intelligent Mayor who actually cares about the people that he represents, and wants to save lives!!! Unlike the Republicans that could care less if people die, Florida, Georgia, Oklahoma, etc! If there were more mayor’s like him, we’d have less deaths, plus be able to open the economy a lot sooner!!
This pandemic became a political football because Republicans in local, state and federal government chose to be sycophants rather than leaders.
Weren’t you invited to the party in Chinatown with Nancy?
You have a American/Russian troll in your feed. The Jeffery Epstein’s dude.
I’m reading Maddow’s producer’s book on the “post-policy” GOP. It puts into words what I’ve seen but couldn’t explain. Recommended.
Don’t talk rubbish the reds states are the dumbest in the world. When a third of these states loose their population from this virus. Look out side you tiny minded look no further than your nose states and see what’s happening in the world and look at true democracies, not self styled US half hearted democracies. This virus is lethal not just for the elderly. The young are dying from multiple organ failure due to the virus..
Well done mayor
fake pandemic…………………https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4mm7kKLP7J4

Dictator
You actually mean black.

it remains mildly amusing but even more pathetic when russian trolls ‘drop by’ to comment on youtube videos about American issues while they pretend to be Americans. granted, they wish that they were. even as bad as things are here right now, thanks directly to trumputin and putin, it is still better than their ‘country’, under putin. add to that the fact that trumputin is only here temporarily but they are stuck with their dictator for life. funny, putin is a dictator but also a worldwide laughingstock, on oh so many levels. that these poor pathetic trolls do this for money, 85 rubles for each direct reply, is even more pathetic. they prostitute themselves for just about the equivalent of $1 American money… wow, really pathetic. but also really quite amusing.

The rest of the world looks on and wonders what sort of people need to be instructed to use the commonsense God / evolution gave them. It hasn’t escaped us that these are the same people who think covid-19 is ‘like the flu’ / a Dem plot / the spawn of that there science stuff and the earth is flat’.
People who Blindly follow a Con-Man leader. So many stupid & selfish people in the U.S. THIS IS A VERY REASONABLE REQUEST. PERIOD.
@Peter Pan
Many of the protesters did where masks and try tried to keep their distance, but of course that’s not really possible in a large gathering.
And do you really think no Republicans care about racial justice?
Peter Pan The risks are completely different when you are outside vs. inside. And many protesters wear masks
@marugmad to wedge loved ones apart, many permanently, with people who did not even have the ‘virus’ being forced to die alone to combat the threat of the ‘virus’, the BBC describes its role as: “Bringing us closer”.
We are people here on planet Earth in charge of our own destiny. Please don’t bring a mythical, imaginary, invisible ‘god’ into play here.
You are doing the right thing. With you in prayer. No one can honestly say you don’t do your community a great service.

@Jerome O’Mara You’ve no idea how idiotic your comment seems?
@Hermeneutic mendicancy Prayer is useless and god is just a myth deal with it
@Blunted206 By every logical metric, when you define and classify the CONCEPT of “God” then you cannot presume to deny the existence of the defined and classified CONCEPT! That’s how simple it is!
Your lefty friends are attacking you. Get used to it!
Only trump could turn a worldwide pandemic into a partisan political fiasco. His incompetent “leadership” is the #1 reason the USA with only 5% of the world’s population has 25% of Covid-19 fatalities.
Geno, when you blame one man for all the cases of the coronavirus in the USA, well no one should seek your advice on ANYTHING! Dementia Joe says preventing the coronavirus is xenophobic!
the real death #s here are about 200,000. Epidemiologists know this. In Britain, they tell their people, and explain how they get to the number higher than counted-at-hospital, but here, you have to dig into the medical journals to get the info, or have been educated in epidemiology, so you know how to run the real numbers. By Xmas, it’ll be over half a million dead in the USA

@Bud Fudlacker When your only “counter-argument” is to blame another man, then you shouldn’t ‘ve said anything in the first place.
Your paid to make decisions on behalf of all the citizens in Montgomery. Good on you following the Government’s own CDC advice and trying to protect all even though some will disagree.
wake up dummy The pandemic is fake…………………https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4mm7kKLP7J4
Ordinances are superior to “executive orders”…
SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO SAVE PEOPLE FROM THEMSELVES. What would be the reason for blocking wearing a Mask. This isn’t asking the Morons to give up their Guns…..omg.
@justsaying 💯👍
Alabama Mayor is smart to mandate wearing masks in public. I hope Texas and other states follow his example.
no more masks
wake up stupid

@Walter White go visit a covid ward then.
We support your decision Mayor Reed.😷😷😷😷
quit watching fake news

Time to put human beings and tried and tested science ahead of politics and opinion.
The pandemic is fake…………………https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4mm7kKLP7J4
The truth is always the truth no matter what the morons say , if you protect yourself you might survive , if you don’t then it was nice knowing you
Bravo that man, he’ll literally be hailed as a life saver 😊💕🙏😷
ur stupid too
The pandemic is fake…………………https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4mm7kKLP7J4
wake up moron
this country is so screwed … man can jump from planes, climb Everest, win wars but too weak to pick up a mask to save his country.
icare: Those bodies are piling up on top of Everest.
What do you expect when our country is being led by a self-serving draft dodger??? He’s the weakest of the weak.
It would take…at LEAST a half of a whole # % of a death rate to make many people wear a mask. I DID at 1st, theeeeen I seen Dr.s exposing .03% #’s and MORE IMPORTANTLY, MEDIA DELETING AND CANCELLING THESE DR.’S. So whatever your beliefs, why’d they do that? Lol
Non Typical I also saw a lot of these videos, some confusingly with demands to restate the videos. It seems they are all there all right after all. Masks are more complex an issue than it seems but the consensus is definitely to wear them to slow down the spread. Lots;of epidemiologists warn it is not a silver bullet, but they do seems to help. Personally, I would wear a Mickey Mouse costume if that prevents another lockdown!
*”to wedge loved ones apart, many permanently, with people who did not even have the ‘virus’* being forced to die alone to combat the threat of the ‘virus’, the BBC describes its role as *“Bringing us closer”*
Masks are not for egoists. Folks should choose to be altruists.
Conservatism oft masks itself as “common good.”
Republicans are playing politics with peoples lives. They should be shot
By listening to the DIVIDER-IN-CHIEF INSTEAD of SCIENTIST & MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS, coronvirus will have its way thru their CULT. No bullets required.
@April Jones-Foston dummies…..
@LIFEis Good69, indeed !
Some more than once.
But in the mean time Vote them out!
