April 21, 2020. Madison, Mississippi. Protests.

Finally, people are pushing back on the draconian restrictions imposed on them. People were willing to stay home and stay away from friends and family but some time along the way, the powers that be forgot the purpose of the restrictions. The restrictions imposed on people was to curb the infection of the virus from one person to the next. So people stayed home and washed their hands. If a family is in their car with the window up, no one could get an infection from them but police fined people for attending an outdoor Easter service, listening to the minister over the radio. I(n Minnisotta, the governor allowed the beer stores to stay open but not the hardware store. People were not allowed to buy seeds or plants. And even if no one was at the park, a father was fined by playing ball with his daughter. Walking trails have been closed in some states. The same for golf courses. It makes no sense at all. People can stay 6 feet away from each other on a golf course. When folks are given power, they will use it even though their decisions make no sense. I never expected to be living in a police state. The US constitution allows the right of assembly and worship. People are ready to have the economy open. People need to go to work. Lots of things can be done to insure public distancing. People will figure it out. Let them do it. Let the protest continue.
