'It's not a pandemic': Boston protesters chant 'it's a hoax' and 'Make America Great Again'

Oh, lookie loo, MAGATS are all riled up and spreading that virus. sorry to say I wish they were the ones that are going to die. Sadly, they will take to many of us with them

Protests continue against stay-at-home orders in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

On Saturday, a large crowd gathered at the Massachuttes state capitol in Boston to protest the shutdown order by Gov. Charlie Baker (R-MA) and Boston Mayor Marty Walsh.

Matt Stout, state house reporter for the Boston Globe, documented the protest from inside the capitol.

He reported protesters saying “this is communism” and “we don’t want your shutdown anymore.”


“It’s not a pandemic!” a speaker falsely claimed. “The reason why they’re doing this … to turn the United States of America into the United Socialist States of America.”

calling it a "hoax". The CV doesn't care whether anyone believes in it or not.

This was organized by the same assholes that had a "straight pride" parade in Boston last year.

Stop covering them, they are only a few hundred at each of these. If we quit covering their nonsense they will go back to their parent's basements.

I don't agree.

It may be a few hundred at the rallies, yet thousands going to the beach and national mall. These people are a threat to the publics health.

We have grown men and women walking into grocery stores and purposely coughing all over the food. One store had to throw out thousands of dollars of food when our food chain is breaking and people are starving.

A grown man spit on a store employee for wearing a mask. Another rubbed his nose on a woman's shirt when once again they were told to wear a mask.

Yesterday a security guard a Dollar store was shot in the head, he died doing his job and informing the customer to wear a mask.

All these people are a menace to our society and a threat to our health. It dayum well should be all over the news. They all need top be fined for their gross negligence and some should be locked up.

I wonder how many of those protesting against “socialism” returned their stimulus checks.

Should a time-machine ever come into my possession, I would spend some time dropping off creatures who bray that swill in Soviet Russia circa 1935, for a close up look at the genuine article, and without a return trip, either....

Nor, for that matter, does even the last picture show a 'large crowd'. You could see more people on the sidewalk of a sports-bar strip any night there's a home game at the stadium.

One of the funniest things I ever read, and I wish I could do it justice, was a bit about how a time travel agency would need costumers, and an extended rant from one, about how the brocade gowns were booked solid for months, have you any idea what is involved in cleaning leather jerkins, and no, miss, you cannot wear slacks and mingle with a crowd in Renaissance Milan....

Probably out of McSweeny's....

The same organizers that brought “straight pride” parade in Boston on Saturday drew more than 1,000 counter-protesters and a few hundred supporters.

That one didn't go well either.

is time to point out to them that apparently, even after 3 1/2 years they are tacitly admitting their Führer has failed to "Make America Great Again."
