Let’s start with.... Jackbooted Thugs arresting a dude playing in a park with his 6yo daughter.
https://abcnews.go.com/US/police-officer-arrested-park-throwing-ball-daughter-due/story?id=70032966 (https://abcnews.go.com/US/police-officer-arrested-park-throwing-ball-daughter-due/story?id=70032966)
I think this is my favorite part.
Mooney said he told officers that he was familiar with the posted rules and believed he and his family were in compliance and practicing proper social distancing. He said he refused to provide his identification when officers asked for it because he had not broken any law.
"Well, they didn't like that idea. They then proceeded to make a threat against me saying, 'If you don't give us your identification, if you don't identify yourself, we're going to put you in handcuffs in front of your 6-year-old daughter.'"
Yup, nothing says super fascisty like threatening to traumatize a 6yo unless you show your papers.

It’s incredible rough ridin' idiots like KSUW who have been proven wrong over this SO many times continue posting. It’s like he’s oblivious to how rough ridin' wrong he has been. Instead of admitting he was wrong, he makes it a political issue. Just unreal levels of incompetence.

This is a great addition. Didn’t even read the article (in which officers apologized and admitted the man hadn’t broken the law). Just total RAGE.

Naw, this is a valid thread. Interesting that this is the instance that kdub learns maybe not all police are the good guys

Why would I read the article? The only reason I can come up with is it’s only going to online for a short period of time before it’s taken down for false information.
-
KSUW hating our boys in blue is quite the turn of events.
-
Agree with kaz, that police office should be jailed
-
police are bad, covid 19 hasn't changed that.
some of the restrictions on outdoor recreation seem pretty pointless to me. fortunately the united states hasn't gone very far down that route.

Have none of you read my entrapment posts? I’m extremely skeptical of police power.

I’m pretty sure most people are skeptical of articles you post. You know, since most recent ones have been taken down because they literally contain false propaganda. You continue to read and belief this false info stuff tho, so can you really be surprised people don’t take you seriously?

Chill friend. You don’t have to engage. It’s going to be ok. :hug:

We aren’t friends, you are a POS. It will be ok if you actually follow guidelines. Ski trip cancelled, bummer. Be a better human and think about more than yourself.

So, what's everyone drinking tonight?

So, what's everyone drinking tonight?
Fortunately liquor stores are “essential.” Did anyone figure that one out?
-
What's to figure out?
-
Why boozing up is essential while we’re destroying other businesses. I googled it and apparently we have to keep supplying booze addicts so they don’t go through withdrawal. Not kidding. Do I have that right? Seems more likely to me that they’ve just got better lobbyists.

Keeping alcoholics from withdrawal is honestly a good reason. It's a really nasty withdraw for a lot of folks, like you'd seriously end up with a tons of people going to the hospital if they don't drink a fifth of whiskey a day.
And obviously allowing booze makes sheltering in place a lot more pleasant for people who manage their alcohol use more responsibly.
Not sure who you think they have better lobbyists than?

Am I being too elite in asking why none of you idiots have delivery for food and booze? Or is this a weird thing that the fake religious are using about not being able to go to virus Easter spread services at their church building?

I think this has been tried on a smaller scale in certain cities (liberal enclaves), but I think this might be the first time we’ve ever decided that it’s best to keep giving the addicts their fix. Should work out well for all victims of domestic and child abuse.
-
Domestic violence is still illegal, btw.
And not allowing alcohol sales would shutter a lot of small business.
I’m really not sure what you’re arguing for here given that allowing alcohol sales is the status quo. If it’s that they should also designate rehab programs as essential businesses then I’d agree.
-
Allowing liquor stores to stay home also helps to keep people/bars from breaking rules.
Victims of domestic/child abuse are going to increase and be an issue during a stay at home order regardless of anything. If you actually give a crap more than making a sarcastic joke at their expense, you can donate at mesikansas.org. They also are in particular need of cleaning/sanitation supplies.
-
Some of the closures are definitely arbitrary. Dry cleaners are considered essential business here.
I think leaving all consumable products available (and methods to ship them) makes perfect sense, though.

Wichita has multiple methadone clinics. Obviously not exactly the same as selling opioids legally to anyone at a store, but as a society we've sort of made a contract with alcoholics that we'll let them buy as much as they want for their addiction as long as everything else they're doing is legal. Taking that away cold turkey would legitimately put a lot of people in the hospital.

Alcohol is one of a very few addictive substances where the withdrawal itself can be fatal
-
So weird. Want businesses open but mad businesses are open.

Yeah detoxing millions of addicts while also trying to keep hospitals empty is a great idea.

Only the businesses I like, and churches. But close abortion clinics because Jesus

I think he wants us godless, hypocritical libs to be mad that liquor stores are open
-
It's important to keep in mind that kdub was very upset when during a federal government shutdown (something he views as a positive) the national parks system was closed.
-
yes it is virtue signaling.
-
Don't grocery stores sell alcohol? How would you purpose letting grocery stores and gas stations sell alcohol but not let liquor stores? What will be interesting to see is what happens at these places that are now restricting items that can be sold within stores.
-
There are a lot of Pit’rs whose raison d'etre seems to be taking comments wildly out of context and or distorting them to make a snarky comment.
The point I was making with liquor stores, and numerous other businesses, is that the distinction between “essential vs non-essential” business seems highly arbitrary and unlikely to meaningfully slow the spread when you consider how many “essential businesses” remain open. I think it would have been smarter to identify and restrict certain businesses that are both high-risk for spread (due to close personal contact, food, etc.) and non-essential. Gyms, movie theaters, and restaurant dine-in service, for example, made sense. But closing down thousands of small businesses (just in Kansas alone) when the grocery stores, hardware stores, gas stations, etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. remain open is both arbitrary and illogical. And liquor stores aren’t even “essential” in my opinion. My goodness, I think Rusty just compared liquor stores to methadone clinics! :lol:
No, snarky dumbasses, I’m not mad that those businesses are open, I’m pointing out that closing down other business when so many high-density, high-contact businesses stay open is arbitrary, illogical, and likely ineffectual.
-
yes it is virtue signaling.
This is pretty rich. I think the folks screaming about how “if it saves one life” it’s worth trashing the economy (Gov. Cuomo et al) is the ultimate virtue signaling.
You people have abandoned all reason and perspective. It’s really something to behold. There is a sensible middle-way here, and you all are just running off the cliff.

We'll find out just how much Useful Idiot Nation has been assimilated into THE MAN in the next 6 to 12 months.

In Missouri at least even essential businesses are required to implement social distancing measures for customers and employees. Liquor stores are not high-density of the ones I've been in but I've seen others that are limiting the # of people in the store to keep people safe.
I'm interested what type of store you are so bent out of shape that's now closed and how would you have tried to limit social interactions to help control this. Should Home Depot be open?
-
These shutdown decisions are being made with almost no reliable data. And I sympathize with that. To some extend, you have to plan for “the worst” of you don’t have a complete picture. But the worst also has to include plunging into another Great Depression.
I thought this was an interesting read.

Well, let’s start with roughly 75% of any stores in any retail center that are currently closed. There are too many to name. Yes, I think Home Depot should be open (it is). I think most businesses should be open subject to basic social distancing measures (more cleaning, cue spacing, etc.) except for certain businesses that are both high-density / high contact and non-essential (that would be things like I mentioned: gyms, dine-in service, etc.)

they are closed. Good. Agreed. Nobody likes any of this. Everybody wants every store open. It sucks. Let's move on.

As I’ve said above, a couple times now, I want everything to be open except for businesses that are both non-essential and are high risk of spread due to high-density and high-contact. I listed examples. Are you asking me to list the stuff I’d personally like to be open? Why? This isn’t about me, at least directly. It’s about the economy at large, which affects all of us.
Ok so personally, I’m missing the gym and the barber, but I understand why those are closed. I think those are the only closures that directly, personally affect me. How about you?

I'm trying to get you to say a few specifics, because frankly shitloads of stores are still open. I think it should be more restricted, but it's doing well enough I suppose.

This simply is not true. I challenge you to visit any corner retail development and count the stores that are currently closed.

I don’t think any of that needs to be open, either. But the business owners and their customers might disagree. I believe that most ”non-essential” businesses should not be shut down. I think the shutdown is overly broad and economically harmful.

Michigan Gov made quite a name for herself among liberals by challenging Trump on hydroxychloroquine, going so far as issuing a letter (https://www.michigan.gov/documents/lara/Reminder_of_Appropriate_Prescribing_and_Dispensing_3-24-2020_684869_7.pdf) threatening doctor’s medical licenses for prescribing it and asking pharmacists to report doctors. This bravery launched her onto the short-list for Woman VP.
Now she’s... warming to the drug. www.foxnews.com/politics/michigan-reverses-course-on-trump-touted-coronavirus-drugs.amp (http://www.foxnews.com/politics/michigan-reverses-course-on-trump-touted-coronavirus-drugs.amp)

In Kansas at least what businesses have been forced to close ther doors?

I know many have made the business decision to close shop but really who "can't" be open.

There are a lot of Pit’rs whose raison d'etre seems to be taking comments wildly out of context and or distorting them to make a snarky comment.
The point I was making with liquor stores, and numerous other businesses, is that the distinction between “essential vs non-essential” business seems highly arbitrary and unlikely to meaningfully slow the spread when you consider how many “essential businesses” remain open. I think it would have been smarter to identify and restrict certain businesses that are both high-risk for spread (due to close personal contact, food, etc.) and non-essential. Gyms, movie theaters, and restaurant dine-in service, for example, made sense. But closing down thousands of small businesses (just in Kansas alone) when the grocery stores, hardware stores, gas stations, etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. remain open is both arbitrary and illogical. And liquor stores aren’t even “essential” in my opinion. My goodness, I think Rusty just compared liquor stores to methadone clinics! :lol:
No, snarky dumbasses, I’m not mad that those businesses are open, I’m pointing out that closing down other business when so many high-density, high-contact businesses stay open is arbitrary, illogical, and likely ineffectual.
which ones?

And liquor stores aren’t even “essential” in my opinion. My goodness, I think Rusty just compared liquor stores to methadone clinics! :lol:
No, snarky dumbasses, I’m not mad that those businesses are open, I’m pointing out that closing down other business when so many high-density, high-contact businesses stay open is arbitrary, illogical, and likely ineffectual.
which ones?
I already listed over a dozen in one random retail development I passed on the way home. If you want, like, a comprehensive list, nah I'm not doing that.

Gonna be scary having her being the stealth president, as Jill directs QuidProJoe through his daily routine.

I think this belongs here. Now our black surgeon general’s a racist. Well played, media. Well played.
No statement on Jerome either way, but black people can definitely be racist against black people.
