South Carolina racial justice activists said they would postpone future demonstrations or move them online after at least 13 people who took part in previous protests tested positive for the coronavirus.

As the number of cases across the country continued to climb ominously Monday, organizers of “I Can’t Breathe” protests in South Carolina urged participants to get tested for the virus.

In a video posted Sunday on Facebook, organizer Lawrence Nathaniel said demonstrators who marched in Columbia, S.C., between May 30 and June 17 had tested positive. He said four organizers were confirmed infected, along with three photographers and six protesters.

“We need to do our part,” he said. “Go get tested. Don’t come to a protest until you get tested, okay?”

I have no issue with this- none
 
CHAZ better build a hospital in their nation-state ASAP.
 
I never supported or approved of the way the protesters went about this. Interesting enough, we did have a very large well organized protest where the protesters remained 6ft apart. Damn. It was impressive! Really impressive! It looked like a military display.

I have supported the peaceful protests - yes aware that a number of which would be infected - they risked that to make a statement - these protests have been coming for sometime, well it has arrived.

Protesting in the midst of a pandemic demonstrates that Americans want change, real changes, not the lip service they have seen

Floyd's death was 1 small step from an execution by Police

The Officers seemed fairly casual about this- to ffn casual.

It took that to start a possible awakening in the US to problems that have been documented for year after year
 
These protests should have been stomped out day one. This is going to cost this country billions. I think these people need to pay dearly for the spikes in Coronavirus. They had to pick now to protest? They had plenty of other opportunities before doing it in a pandemic. BLM needs to be wiped out and held accountable.
 
Oh, now the lockdowners are worried about the BLMatards spreading the virus. :lamo

'Member when.....

During a Feb. 28, 2020 campaign rally in South Carolina, Trump called criticism of his coronavirus efforts a Democrat hoax. He also compared COVID-19 to the common flu.

Based on the symptoms I'd say it can be compared to the common flu.

I thought you people didn't like Fear mongering.

&

I think it would be prudent to quarantine all liberals with TDS until their symptoms subside.

&

I've told you a million times don't exaggerate.

Etc, etc, and etc again.






But now that the Trumpist thinks it useful to another stupidly dishonest attack on targets it puts on the left*, the Trumpist pretends to take it seriously.

Lying Trumpist busted for lying, news at forever.





*Bet the Trumpist "wonders" why black people rarely support Republicans.
