Sorry about the title of my post, but I can't help it, they really do look like stupid fuckheads and assholes.
Right-click on the picture and open in a new tab or new window for a much larger version to really see their expressions.

Minnesota bars' licenses suspended for defying restrictions, December 17, 2020 3:11 p.m.

This one has a great video of it which is even more packed looking. Incredibly more packed looking.

Starting at 0:35-0:40, then an even worse shot at 0:46

Here's a YouTube. Don't be fooled by this initial picture. See just 1 second in for the mob scene


It's of course all about FREEDOM that is guaranteed by the Constitution of the United States (I'm sorry I was effectively drafted during the Viet Nam War, so I learned a LOOOOONNNNNG time ago its not all about freedom), but some fuckheads over at the resistance sites really believe they should be allowed to do whatever they please because of the Constitution etc. etc..

And they say if you are a scaredy cat and afraid of a disease with more than a 99% survival rate, then stay at home, nobody is forcing you to go to a bar. (No thought given about how they might in turn spread it to vulnerable populations -- 65% of the people who have died from Covid so far in MN were in nursing homes or assisted living facilities and the like).

As for the 99+% survival rate, I was going to argue with them about that, but if the CDC is right that for every case that is reported, there are another 7 that are not, then yeah, the 99+% survival rate is correct. Still, we've lost more people then World War II or we're close to that, so isn't that enough? And it doesn't count the survivors with horrific damage to various organs and their cognitive functions (Thom Hartmann was reading a study yesterday on that, really awful stuff).

More photos made at the same time (well worth the click). I have to laugh at some media reports that "many not wearing a mask". NONE are.

Click the arrow on the right side of the picture (and midway between top and bottom) to see 2 more photos.

I STILL say they look like stupid fuckheads and assholes.
