Constitutional Right To Peacefully Assemble Latest 'Victim' of Govt COVID-19 Crackdown

[MisterBeale]

This is a perfect illustration of why all commies must fucking hang.

.

Rationed Liberty

That sure looks like a lot less people than ever died in any war defending our civil rights and civil liberties.

It's "FEWER" actually, not "less". Less of much, fewer of many. Less rain, fewer raindrops.

Fun fact though: the so-called "Spanish" Flu of a century ago killed more Americans than all of the wars of the Twentieth Century --- the one where we became imperialists --- COMBINED. Philippine War, World Wars I and II, Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, Panama, Libya, Grenada, fill in brown-people country here, add 'em all up and you still don't equal the death toll of that pandemic all by itself. More US soldiers died of that disease in WWI in Europe -- after transporting the disease there --- than were killed there in combat.

This perspective brought to you by the word fewer. bane of Miller Beer commercials.

oh? . . . . perspective is what we are talking about now is it?

Govt flexes muscle to show citizens / Constitution / Founding Fathers who's 'Boss'....



One Arrested as Raleigh, NC Police Suspend First Amendment; Declare Coronavirus Lockdown Protest “Non-Essential Activity”

'Raleigh, North Carolina police suspended the First Amendment Tuesday, dispersing a protest against the COVID-19 Chinese coronavirus lockdown and arresting one protester for failing to disperse. The police issued a statement declaring “Protesting is a non-essential activity” that was in violation of an executive order by Governor Roy Cooper (D) prohibiting mass gatherings.'

What is considered 'non-essential activity' by the government is a right protected by the Constitution from a government who seeks to quell all peaceful assemblies...

Add this one to the list of Constitutional Rights - like exercise of religious freedom - being trampled in the name of 'preventing the spread of CPVID-19'.

Here's what y'all infectophiles keep missing.

-- What's the adverb before the word "assemble"? "Peaceably".

Therefore an assembly of, say, a lynch mob would be an assembly but not a "peaceable" one, agreed?

Whelp, same for a congregation that huddles together despite a known contagious infection going around. One uses a rope, the other uses a virus.

Think about it.

So we lose the right to freely assemble every flu season?

I am thinking about it, you're not

This isn't a plague or small pox

It's a coronavirus, IDK where the line is when it's an actual health emergency. But if you think this is it, kiss your right to assemble* goodbye. Because things like colds and the flu aren't going anywhere.

This is a plague. There is no real cure for the serious cases. Medical practicioners are basically throwing everything they have at this thing and seeing what sticks. .

Every day we're learning more about how the virus attacks the body. This is some nasty shit. It attacks the heart, kidneys and lungs. Patients may have long term problems even after the virus is gone.

The current death rate in the USA is 34%. 66% percent have recovered and gone home, but 34% have died. There are now 578,000 active cases. While the lack of testing meant that only the sickest were tested at first, it's likely that this rate will come down. if the death rate continues at 34% of active cases, another 200,000 people will die. Even if the death rate comes down to the current world death rate of 21% of cases where the outcome is known, more than 120,000 more Americans will die - even if no further infections happen after today.

Wow. I DO NOT know where you get a lethality of 34%, but that is WAY off.

The NHS in Britain puts it between .5 and 1%

More critical studies that factor in folks that don't get tested put it as .37%

It boggles the mind that you can either be so wrong, or put out such misleading propaganda.

No wonder you take such authoritarian scare tactics.

Hell I can tell you that. It's right there in the numbers, a simple calculation. Watch.

34,522 perished plus 57,271 Recovered equals 91,793 cases which had an outcome.

Out of that body, in 38% (37.6) of those outcomes, the outcome was death.

The UK by the way has not reported reliable figures. I told you that before and now I'll tell you why. See that column under "Recovered" that says "N/A"? Until a few days ago, it said "135". Every day. For literally weeks. Now they've given up reporting anything.

Because this rationale completely ignores the fact that attendees who acquire it at the gathering will spread it to others who did not attend this gathering.

How will that happen if everyone else is social distancing and taking other precautions?

You are responsible for your own safety ONLY.

.

That's ridiculous. The morons who are insisting on their "freedom" are doing so out of hatred for their neighbors. They need to start showing some patriotism and respect for others. There is no such thing as being responsible only for your own safety. The entire field of tort law is based on the concept that the risk posed to others was foreseeable.

BTW: the other day when I was shopping and picking up something in the refrigerated section (which has glass doors) a white male approximately 45-55 walked straight up to me and reached around me, forcing me to step aside six feet, and then proceeded to do a ten-minute inspection of every package; no mask, no gloves, handled many items before finally picking one, this me standing there all the while. He forced me back. There should be a way to punish this sort of scum.

Incidentally, I identified this perp by race, sex, and approximate age due to the current idiotic practice on this board of identifying wrongdoers according to these characteristics so that the misconduct can be properly "credited" to the correct demographic group(s).

You realize that this post makes you appear to be a frightened, whiny, racist, sexist little bitch who wants to get her daddy to go beat up the man who hurt her feelings, right?

Coming from the likes of you, this is a compliment. You can make up anything you want about me to satisfy your fantasy. Posters on USMB begin threads to blame all members of demographic groups for the conduct of one or a small group of individuals all the time, with the exception of white males, who you think should never have their royal conduct questioned. Normally I would not mention things like race or sex, but in this situation, I am just demonstrating that turnabout is fair play. We have no royalty here.

"Posters on USMB begin threads to blame all members of demographic groups for the conduct of one or a small group of individuals all the time,";
I'm new here, so I'll take your word for that for now........ but still and all, nobody likes a fucking whiner, okay?
Stop that shit already.

Nobody likes a bossy butt either, so don't try to tell other posters what they can and cannot do. It never goes over well.

Please provide the link to the EXACT, SPECIFIC, CONSTITUTIONAL government document / law that gives local / state / federal governments the authority - based on their own will /choice to do so - to limit and / or suspend Constitutionally-protected Rights.

- At least 6 feet away: CHECK
- In groups of 5 or less: CHECK
- No physical touching: CHECK
- No chance of bodily fluids / droplets spreading; CHECK

What I just described IS SAFER THAN GOING OUT TO WAL MART TO PICK UP A LOAF OF BREAD AND SOME PEANUT BUTTER.

SO WHY DO YOU HATE GOT, THE CONSTITUTION, AND CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS SO MUCH....WHY DO YOU BLINDLY SURRENDER YOUR RIGHTS WITHOUT ASKING THE SAME PEOPLE WHO HAVE PROVEN TO BE CURRUPT AS HWLL AND DESPERATE TO ACQUIRE / WIELD MORE POWER TO SHOW YOU THE JUSTIFICATION / BASIS OF THE SEIZURE OF POWER THEY ARE ENGAGED IN?

JUSTASKING THE QIESTION - Please provide the link to the EXACT, SPECIFIC, CONSTITUTIONAL government document / law that gives local / state / federal governments the authority - based on their own will /choice to do so - to limit and / or suspend Constitutionally-protected Rights - I S NOT BLATANT, OPEN ANARCHY! IT IS PART OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE'S CHECKS AND BALANCES OF THE GOVT, WHICH IS PART OF THEIR DUTY AS CITIZENS.

(A governor just told are porter that when he ordered massive, sweeping, restrictive mandates )spome argued was excessive) he was NOT THINKING OF THE CONSTITUTION / CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS. Then WTF was he thinking of? 'Public Safety? God bless him, but HIS PERSONAL GOOD INTENTIONS are not enough of a basis to limit / suppress Constitutionally protected rights.......

If you ask a politician what is the basis for his actions and he can't give you an answer, doesn't know you have a SERIOUS problem.

Prove to me YOU know by what legal, Constitutional basis all of this is being done. I'm not a sheep, and I don't blindly follow proven liars / criminals - SHOW ME!

YOU ARE IN NO POSITION TO TELL ME OR ANYONE ELSE WHAT TO DO YOU STUPID CLOWN. IN CHINA, THEY SIMPLY SHOT PEOPLE WHO BROKE QUARANTINE. NO ONE IN THE REST OF THE WORLD IS DOING THAT.

Shut the fuck up you stinking drama queen. Oh the irony of you trying to tell us what to do, then proclaiming we can’t speak? President Xi has approved your message. Resume your kneeling.

I didn't tell anyone what to you, but YOU did. I told Evgeny he is in no position to tell ME what to do. I didn't tell him to do anything.

You came along and called me names and then ordered me to my knees. I don't think so Harvey.

Go ahead, show the class an example of a Honda Accord "infecting" a Chevy Blazer. Show me how my car can get sick by using the same highway as an "infected" Studebaker.

Are you deliberately trying to look like an idiot?

I'm mocking yours. Are you saying you can't do it? Because if you can't you'll have to give up that False Equivalence.

Seen it before btw, on the gun violence canard-arguments. It's a remix. BORing.

The point is that you are willing to live with the DOCUMENTED equal or greater risk posed by automobiles. There is no false equivalency. Risk is risk.

You are parroting your commie overlords who are out for political gain. Nothing more.

I've just gone out to hang with my cars. Not one of them is coughing. Not one of them infected me. Not one was infected by me. Or by each other. None had a fever, none were coughing up blood. Strange isn't it?

Meanwhile walking back into the house I was not hit by a meteor. Astounding. Even as we speak there is no earthquake going on.

Okay. Jesus. I get it. You are too dumb to understand comparative risk.

The federal government and the states all have emergency provisions that allow the suspension of constitutional rights...Whether or not this "emergency" rises to that, and they went through the proper legal procedure to enact these laws is unclear.

But our goverors definitely have this power under an emergency. We have suspended habeus corpus nationally before, emergency powers/provisions always get a pass from our judiciary. Dealing with emergencies is the prime benefit to having a strong executive.

The old "habeus corpus" canard again. That applies to arrests. "Shelter in place" and "social distancing" do not constitute "arrests".

The point was they can suspend your constitutional rights on a whim in an "emergency" if we as a society define the flu as an emergency...We'll we'v lost those rights

WHOOOOOOSH

Thanks for explaining what a term I brough up means/ You fucking dolt

Remember your education. nothing has changed. You're still a retard.

I've never even heard of you. But I'm happy to explain what the term you "brough" up means, speaking of edumacation. Keep it real, brough.

hahah the guy who couldn't break 1300 on his SAT or 30 on his ACt talking big. OK dude

The delusion is palpable

Yea i have no idea how to spell brought.

You fucking plebs with your non sequitors you can't even connect back to a point.

Cool story brough. Hey what does a brough eat for lunch? A brougham sandwich?

Now you are trying to cover your obvious stupidity by trying to insult your way out. We see right through you. You're an intellectual lightweight.

IGNORED!!!!

Oppression is always about public safety. You are oppressed for your own good.

And there you would dead wrong. Oppression is always about protecting the authoritarian leader and his regime, not the people. That's what defines it as "oppression".

People who are sick and have no health insurance are opressed. People who have "essential" minimum wage jobs who have no choice but to go to work with no PPE's or hand sanitizer, who are getting sick and dying from this disease, are oppressed.

But the fools like you being asked to sit home for their own safety, are not being "oppressed" in any way.

lol, you completely missed her point. She (or he?) was trying to get through to you that when freedom and rights are trampled on, the oppressors always CLAIM that it's about "public safety" or that it's for our own good. She wasn't saying that it actually is! lol.

And yes, forcing perfectly healthy people who haven't done anything wrong to be on what basically amounts to house arrest - causing people to lose their livelihood or businesses - IS oppressive, you bootlicking dupe. And to say they "are not being oppressed in any way" is the most asinine, arrogant, ignorant, idiotic statement I've heard in a long time. And that is just one facet of this, that's not even getting into all their other totalitarian agendas. Which I'm sure dupes like you will be cheerleading for. At least until you finally wake up one day and realize that you've been had.

But the fools like you being asked to sit home for their own safety, are not being "oppressed" in any way.

lol, you completely missed her point. She (or he?) was trying to get through to you that when freedom and rights are trampled on, the oppressors always CLAIM that it's about "public safety" or that it's for our own good. She wasn't saying that it actually is! lol.

And yes, forcing perfectly healthy people who haven't done anything wrong to be on what basically amounts to house arrest - causing people to lose their livelihood or businesses - IS oppressive, you bootlicking dupe. And to say they "are not being oppressed in any way" is the most asinine, arrogant, ignorant idiotic statement I've heard in a long time. And that is just one facet of this, that's not even getting into all their other totalitarian agendas. Which I'm sure dupes like you will be cheerleading for. At least until you finally wake up one day and realize that you've been had.

I got the point. Oppression for your own good is a continuing theme in communism.

I was talking to Dragonlady when I said "you completely missed her point." I was agreeing with you.

This is not supposed to be permanent. The entire harmful exercise is Just to hurt Trump. It's supposed to be made all his fault and elect finger fucker Biden.

This is a perfect illustration of why all commies must fucking hang.

Rationed Liberty

That sure looks like a lot less people than ever died in any war defending our civil rights and civil liberties.

It's "FEWER" actually, not "less". Less of much, fewer of many. Less rain, fewer raindrops.

Fun fact though: the so-called "Spanish" Flu of a century ago killed more Americans than all of the wars of the Twentieth Century --- the one where we became imperialists --- COMBINED. Philippine War, World Wars I and II, Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, Panama, Libya, Grenada, fill in brown-people country here, add 'em all up and you still don't equal the death toll of that pandemic all by itself. More US soldiers died of that disease in WWI in Europe -- after transporting the disease there --- than were killed there in combat.

This perspective brought to you by the word fewer. bane of Miller Beer commercials.

oh? . . . . perspective is what we are talking about now is it?

Govt flexes muscle to show citizens / Constitution / Founding Fathers who's 'Boss'....



One Arrested as Raleigh, NC Police Suspend First Amendment; Declare Coronavirus Lockdown Protest “Non-Essential Activity”

'Raleigh, North Carolina police suspended the First Amendment Tuesday, dispersing a protest against the COVID-19 Chinese coronavirus lockdown and arresting one protester for failing to disperse. The police issued a statement declaring “Protesting is a non-essential activity” that was in violation of an executive order by Governor Roy Cooper (D) prohibiting mass gatherings.'

What is considered 'non-essential activity' by the government is a right protected by the Constitution from a government who seeks to quell all peaceful assemblies...

Add this one to the list of Constitutional Rights - like exercise of religious freedom - being trampled in the name of 'preventing the spread of CPVID-19'.

Here's what y'all infectophiles keep missing.

-- What's the adverb before the word "assemble"? "Peaceably".

Therefore an assembly of, say, a lynch mob would be an assembly but not a "peaceable" one, agreed?

Whelp, same for a congregation that huddles together despite a known contagious infection going around. One uses a rope, the other uses a virus.

Think about it.

So we lose the right to freely assemble every flu season?

I am thinking about it, you're not

This isn't a plague or small pox

It's a coronavirus, IDK where the line is when it's an actual health emergency. But if you think this is it, kiss your right to assemble* goodbye. Because things like colds and the flu aren't going anywhere.

This is a plague. There is no real cure for the serious cases. Medical practicioners are basically throwing everything they have at this thing and seeing what sticks. .

Every day we're learning more about how the virus attacks the body. This is some nasty shit. It attacks the heart, kidneys and lungs. Patients may have long term problems even after the virus is gone.

The current death rate in the USA is 34%. 66% percent have recovered and gone home, but 34% have died. There are now 578,000 active cases. While the lack of testing meant that only the sickest were tested at first, it's likely that this rate will come down. if the death rate continues at 34% of active cases, another 200,000 people will die. Even if the death rate comes down to the current world death rate of 21% of cases where the outcome is known, more than 120,000 more Americans will die - even if no further infections happen after today.

Wow. I DO NOT know where you get a lethality of 34%, but that is WAY off.

The NHS in Britain puts it between .5 and 1%

More critical studies that factor in folks that don't get tested put it as .37%

It boggles the mind that you can either be so wrong, or put out such misleading propaganda.

No wonder you take such authoritarian scare tactics.

Hell I can tell you that. It's right there in the numbers, a simple calculation. Watch.

The UK by the way has not reported reliable figures. I told you that before and now I'll tell you why. See that column under "Recovered" that says "N/A"? Until a few days ago, it said "135". Every day. For literally weeks. Now they've given up reporting anything.

At least until you finally wake up one day and realize that you've been had.

I know what she said Buttercup. I stand by my rebuttal.

In your books, asking healthy people to stay home so that remain healthy is "oppressing" them. But forcing them to go to work, when you can't provide them with testing or PPE's to keep them safe, is not oppressing them.

You fools have it backwards. Right now, today, the people who are being oppressed, are the minimum wage "essential workers" in grocery stores, child care centres, and the fast food industry, the meat processing plants, who are going to work, without PPE's, without personal distancing, and without testing. Thousands of these "essential" workers are dying. I call forcing poor peole to take risks you yourself would consider to be a violation of your rights - forcing you to work in unsafe conditions, where you could die or become permanent disable, is about as oppressing as it gets.

You're being asked to stay at home.

I'm sure many of these worker would have given anything to have your opportunity to sit on their asses at home, but they weren't given that choice.

I was chatting with my daughter today saying I'm bored, I'm sick of my own cooking, I miss going out for a latte and a card game with my friends at the local cafe. I want to go to our small town restaurants. And I feel guilty for complaining. Because I'm not sick, and my family is not sick, because we've been inside for weeks now. My bank account is growing because I'm not going out and spending money in my community and helping the local merchants.

My American friends are losing family. Or working in harm's way. And there's no end in sight because your President continues to be an idiot. You have to deal with the public health crisis before you can talk about reopening the country, and #1 with a bullet is testing.

No matter how many times the President says otherwise, you have no reliable widespread accessible testing for corona virus. You need to 325 million people tested, and you've tested 3.5 million. 1%. You don't even have enough tests manufactured to test even 10% of the American population just one time, and the millions of Americans going to work, or to school, need to be tested weekly. You need 40 million tests per week just to test the front line health care workers and the "essential" workers in transit and the food industry - from the field to the processors, to the retail workers, and the food service staff - all need to be tested and tested weekly.

Yes, you've done more tests than the South Koreans. But South Korea tested early and tested often, and they used cell phones to help with contact tracing and testing. And when told to stay home, they did. Their death rate is less than 3%, whereas yours is currently 37%.

That's because they STAYED THE FUCK AT HOME

Thank God the Union won the Civil war and the government crushed the outlaws at Waco Texas and captured Timothy McVeigh and is ready to take down any other anti-American militia out there.

Yeah, thank God the govt, using armored military-grade vehicles and weapons, needlessly stormed a compound filled with women and children, set the place on fire, and burned many of them alive...instead of backing off an just arresting the guy in the nearby town some time later.

good grief

Nobody does a church massacre like the government.

(BTW, I discovered in 2003 that some FBI agents really really don't like it when you mock them over that shit-show in Waco. I still have a file on me with the feds, last I checked. But hey, fuck 'em if they can't take a joke.)

Yeah. ... Amazing how all the mass shootings and "Islamic and partisan terror" came to a screeching halt all over the world as soon as this thing started. . .

. . . it's almost as if suicidal maniacs and political radicals who aren't afraid of death are. . . afraid of infection?!?

No they aren't. Hyperbole.

Nope, once they catch and get over it, move on, forget about it, not necessary.

all need to be tested and tested weekly.

The USA has 57,844 recovered cases and 34,641 deaths for a total of 92,485 Closed Cases. 34,641 is 37.8% of the total cases. Most alarming is that you have 585,000 active cases.

They're already back. Trudeau told them to get their asses home before he closed the border permanently. Their return caused a big jump in our cases. We only had a couple of hundred cases before they came home, and a lot of them failed to self-quarantine when they got home.

I have some sympathy in terms that they came home to no food in the fridge at all, and out here in the boonies there is no such thing as grocery delivery. But there was guy in our local grocery store saying he just got back from Arizona that morning. Don't these people have family or friends who can do a grocery run for them and leave the food on their porch? My city friends booked a grocery delivery for the morning after they would be getting home before they left Florida, and they had take out delivered for dinner the night they got home.

Trumpy Bear has been talking about re-opening the Canada/US border because Canada's being doing a "good job" with the virus. Trudeau told him that he would not be opening the border anytime soon. Americans are going to have a difficult time going anywhere. Trump and Pence are pretending that they closed the US border to the world but that's not what happened. The world closed our border to YOU, and they will remain closed
