“Hey hey!
Ho ho!
Social distance Yes!
Masks no!”
Comment by The Drummer Tuesday, Aug 31, 21 @ 1:30 pm
Outside? Check.
Proper distancing? Check.
If they keep this up they won’t need to worry about mask mandates.

“There are dozens of us! DOZENS!!!!”
In order to use the plural of dozen, there needs to be at least two dozen. Based on that shot, they’re not even close to that.

Group spokesperson denies that they are social distancing due to COVID. “It’s because we believe bathing is a choice, and some of us choose not to.”

Protester with “Freedom to Choose” sign at mask protest keeps a detachable “No” sign in trunk for Roe v. Wade events.

==Mask? We Don’t Need No Stinking Masks===
If you think cloth mask is bad, wait until your ventilator mask and then your forever oxygen mask.

“It is sad and unfortunate we have so many people willing to comply” says person who believes people dead from excessive use of force wouldn’t be dead if only they had complied.

Laugh at them all you want, but that group has a combined IQ of 200, which exceeds that of Stephen hawking.

Mama, that is a movie quote, not my opinion. LOL
Comment by Give Me A Break Tuesday, Aug 31, 21 @ 2:13 pm
What’s “sad and unfortunate” is these people equate courage with spreading the virus.

You know those people you have to invite to the party even though you don’t like them? These are those people.
Comment by Cheryl44 Tuesday, Aug 31, 21 @ 2:18 pm
actually looks like they are doing a fine job. You really don’t need masks outdoors and socially distanced. Not sure why they’re complaining. S/

If you look at this picture objectively, look at how many objects… signs, props, flags, costumes… who says grifting doesn’t work.

They seem to be in need of remedial grift work in the form of a T.G. Devore workshop?
Doesn’t T.G. fit…just right?
Comment by Dotnonymous Tuesday, Aug 31, 21 @ 3:27 pm
T.G. DeVore is no P.T. Barnum…however.

But if you had to choose just one, would you say “sad” or “unfortunate”?
Comment by Quizzical Tuesday, Aug 31, 21 @ 6:18 pm
Not exactly the most inspiring crowd I have seen at that space. High school band car washes do better.
Comment by zatoichi Tuesday, Aug 31, 21 @ 8:27 pm
At a glance at this post I thought they were socially distancing in the video until I just realized there aren’t that many people.
