Reopen NC

Everyone American that works regardless of what they do are Essential. Wait until all our taxes skyrocket to pay the lost of Revenue for the state with people not working.

Maybe the State needs to experience some layoffs. Government and public institutions are the only places where they didn’t get more efficient when we entered the computer age. Unbelievable when you drill down and think about.
 
Watching Coopers press conference just now, this dumb ass actually said that you can protest but only in compliance with his executive order. What is that now, 5 people or less....in the name of public safety

I’m looking at a copy of the Bill of Rights hanging on my wall. Amendment I makes no mention of peaceable assembly / petitioning for redress being conditional based upon compliance with an EO.

RC must have been absent the day they taught Constitutional law at law school.

So...with that reasoning in mind....

Protest groups of 5 people spaced 6 feet apart should be totally good to go...just have multiple groups.


One a side note...the lady that is the "co-founder" of #reopennc was just on channel 14 spectrum news being interviewed. Caught out of the corner of my eye, volume was low, will look for it again since it's a looped news report.

correct. No high capacity protests are “allowed”, but no restriction explicit on the number of ban-state compatible clusters that can exist.

I say as many as can from the forum should show up on the 21st. Bring pitchforks and torches to start

Or Eff them. Why give them center of attention?

We should bring the supplies needed for businesses to reopen safely. Hand sanitizer, gloves, wipes, bleach, etc. give it out along with CDC disinfection guidelines printed out to any legitimate business owner.

Pitchforks and torches made by Remington, Glock, Colt, Sig Sauer, Smith and Wesson, Daniel Defense, et cetera....

Ive got a minute...so lets break this down for those in the back...


1. "This thread shows just how much mindless thinking is going in the world and if this continues our world will go down the drain so many predict." : Then you are reading challenged, this thread, and many like it, have shown a wide array of different thoughts on the best way to handle the situation. Most lean towards a cautious opening, some lean to a total return to 100% how things were with no delay. But there is no complete consensus. Just many people >thinking< and sharing their ideas in an open forum.

2. "This virus has proved it can kill any person on this earth if not contained." : This virus has proven to be easily spread, and dangerous for immunocompromised individuals of either young age or advanced age. For most others it can be a serious sickness, but far from nearly the 100% fatal along any clear population lines. And, no matter what people do, no virus is contained. It can be slowed, it can even be monitored. But no virus in the history of mankind has ever been "contained". Run its course? Immunities developed? Yes.

3. "Plenty of mistakes have been made and more will happen in our future but the only sure way out is to work together,..." : The most accurate part of your post....which isn't saying much. Mistakes have been made. And some have not. Working together, generally speaking, is fluff and never considered a bad idea in any circumstances unless discussing a home enema kit.

4. " individual freedom be damned": The entire basis for the United States was predicated upon individual freedoms and setting up a government specifically to guaranty individual freedoms. There was no caveat put into place that would override "individual freedoms". On the contrary, now is the perfect time for our government to prove that it adheres to its original charter in guaranteeing individual freedoms despite outside pressures. My desired assumption is that you were drunk, or high on hand sanitizer fumes when you tippy tapped this little gem out on your keyboard.

5. "If we pay attention": A large number of threads on this site recently have specifically been started in attempts to both spread news, updates, and thoughts and opinions from experts and scientists alike. This can only lead one to believe that you have either missed this, or willfully ignored the fact that we are "paying attention", possibly more than most people in the general public who receives their news from one specific source.

6. "listen to those that know science and work together we just may survive as a people": The science that told us Pluto was a planet up until a few years ago? The science that cant figure out if male and female are true genders? The scientists who cant even finally decide if milk and eggs is good or bad for us? And survive as a people? What is even the point of surviving if we turn into something that our entire being as Americans cant recognize? When we forgo all we are based on what is happening in the now, then I see no reason to survive at all.

7. "Call myself brainwashed if you wish": Gladly. You are brainwashed.

8. "but now is the time to put the government of the people to test" : Agreed...to stay true to their original charter and design to ensure the individual freedoms of a free people from a tyrannical government.

9. " hope and pray.": Hope and pray, that's good. I agree we should be doing this.

10. "their methods work" : Because they have done so splendidly so far? Social distancing may well have helped. Self quarantining may be a great thing. But ordering people in their homes is tyranny. It is placing an innocent population on house arrest while their only crime being existing.

11. "until the day the cure is found." : This is a virus...there will be no magical cure. There will be treatments that reduce its strength. But there is no magic bullet that will make it go poof and vanish. Nor should a free people be required to lock themselves away waiting for a distant future date where our freedom to move and assemble rests on the shoulders of those who may not be facing the same hardships as many. My family is fine...both my wife and I are still working. We have food, supplies, money. But many don't. And they cant wait around for some magical distant date where those deem it "safe" allow them to pick up the pieces of their shattered lives.

12. "Appartantly that can't be soon enough": No, it cant be.

13. "during the meanwhile patience you bunch of damn grasshoppers": Solid moronic ending that proves you know nothing yet about the population of this community. The "grasshoppers" were the ones that didn't prepare, relied on others to help them along, and when faced with hardship cried out to others due to their lack of preparation. If anything, this forum is filled with ants who have, over the years, prepared for hardships. If you had actually paid attention to this forum before posting this mistake of a diatribe, you would realize that the "grasshoppers" are individuals like you who hunker in their holes and cry out for the government to come to their rescue like some weak video game princess who cant lift a finger in her own care.

Hopefully, you will learn, in time, that those of us here often argue, we often even fight. But what we aren't is a massive group of "grasshoppers" who are resisting the government out of some perceived fear. The grievances listed out here, even those I disagree with personally, are real, actual, and tyrannical. A police agency openly violating the 1st amendment >should< be something that any American finds not only wrong, but unjust, and should be confronted bluntly and decisively.

Reverend, I know we don't always see eye to eye, but if you're a drinking man, I would like to buy you a beer sometime. Or three.

This thread shows just how much mindless thinking is going in the world and if this continues our world will go down the drain so many predict. This virus has proved it can kill any person on this earth if not contained. Plenty of mistakes have been made and more will happen in our future but the only sure way out is to work together, individual freedom be damned. If we pay attention, listen to those that know science and work together we just may survive as a people. Call myself brainwashed if you wish but now is the time to put the government of the people to test, hope and pray their methods work until the day the cure is found. Appartantly that can't be soon enough, during the meanwhile patience you bunch of damn grasshoppers.

"If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen." ~Samuel Adams (emphasis mine)

For shame, Sir.

For shame. America has no need for more Summer Soldiers and Sunshine Patriots.

Nor collaborators.

For shame.

How big is a fireteam? 4 people, right?

A couple fireteams is a squad? A couple squads, a platoon?

I’m looking at a copy of the Bill of Rights hanging on my wall. Amendment I makes no mention of peaceable assembly / petitioning for redress being conditional based upon compliance with an EO.

RC must have been absent the day they taught Constitutional law at law school.

I still owe you some beer.

Sad that in many states you can't strap on your best boogaloo gear and protest at/in the state capitol like you can in MI.
sometimes i miss home.

You ain’t from around here are ya? :D
 
The keep telling all of us that 'this is the new normal'. NOPE.

Pooper must have said it 50 times the other day in that pandering, ‘I’m going to talk to everyone like they’re 5 years old’ tone. Drove me nuts! Every time I replied, “it’s NOT normal!” Oddly, he didn’t hear me.
 
Yeah, most masks won’t protect you from the airborne virus, but what they do, if worn correctly, is prevent people from touching their mouth and nose. As mentioned a few times many people aren’t using them correctly and messing with them a lot, pulling them down and so forth. But they can be a good reminder to not pick your nose, rub your eyes, or wipe your mouth.

But,...what if you like to pick your nose? Just asking for a friend...
 
I guess we all have hobbies...in this case...well...get that Rona den.

What if my friend sprays his finger with Lysol first?
 
The addition to the rona hygiene, you can pick your friends, you can pick your nose, just dont pick your friends nose

Not the way I read it...you can pick their nose if you stand 6 feet away, so use an approved device like a tomato stick or a golf club.

Ooh...those Mosin Bayonets!

I don’t understand why boat ramps and lake access is closed. You can go play golf but no way to go solo fishing on a kayak. Makes a lot of sense.

Just like in Winston-Salem, they stopped picking up yard waste carts that we pay extra for. What can be harmful in a yard waste cart that is picked up by remote control and dumped by remote control? If it wasn't so close to renewal time I would ask for a prorated refund. I have a feeling the timing is why they are doing it. The are banking on the public not demanding money back. They act like it is their damn money. Pricks on the first order. Their Mothers must be mighty proud.

‘yup, will not pick up the brush piles and will not issue a burn permit... :mad:
 
Wish people would plan better for these marches and demonstrations. I only heard about it over the weekend.
