I'm not looking for an argument. ☕

So, I am hardly surprised that Garrison lacks much local support there; you see, Hillbillies rarely stir up trouble, but when they finally do decide to rise, it is undoubtedly for a profound reason—not merely over some triviality like a bit of cloth used as a gag for a few minutes a day, but because it is better to retreat than to face the consequences, for those who survive will certainly have plenty to say. 🙂

This harassment of their children both before and within the school by a group of fanatic protesters clearly does not sit well with the majority in Appalachia, does it? Perhaps Mr. Garrison might want to start considering what sort of life awaits him and his family in that region once this entire ordeal concludes. My heart truly goes out to the little one; his father has gone to great lengths to ensure the boy is branded for the rest of his life... 🕺

Morons.
At first, I really felt for the kid, but now that I'm reading how he's actually fueling these parental outbursts himself, I don't think I feel particularly bad for him anymore.
I mostly just feel for the other kids at school who have to deal with the daily nonsense coming from the Gaćina family.
(And I'm actually quite glad they didn't just use initials; it's better when people know exactly who we're talking about.😍)

nimbleranger17 said:It seems the bullying of children at that school in Cleveland just keeps dragging on today, too.

I honestly have to hand it to the parents there who are still sitting by and letting this kind of thing slide.

nimbleranger17 said:I’m looking at this from a standard, civic-minded, decent, civilized perspective.

In 2021, living in a modern American society, it is just fundamentally inappropriate for grown adults to be storming into schools to fight over various rights. It’s a complete misfire—they're hitting the wrong target entirely—and what’s even more egregious is the sheer amount of stress and anxiety they inflict on the children, who are forced to witness all this shouting and aggressive posturing right there in their own hallways.

We have ministries, we have the federal government, we have the CDC, and plenty of other institutions specifically designed for fighting for values and policy changes.

But no, instead, people choose to show up at a school entrance and block the doors so kids can't even get inside. It’s absolutely appalling in my civilized world. Perhaps in some backwater, primitive village, this kind of behavior would be considered normal, but not here.

nimbleranger17 said:It is truly staggering how far some of you have gone; I'm sitting here watching this footage of people storming into a school, completely disregarding the campus rules and the federal mandate requiring adults to wear masks while inside.

Here is the video: https://www.yahoo.com/news/article/...u/2303859.aspx

Poor kids are just standing there by the entrance, unable to even get into their own school because of these ten scientists.🤦 🤦

Anyone who actually supports this isn't living in reality. This kind of harassment toward children is something we haven't seen in this country before. At least, I don't recall a time when a mob would just break into schools in America.

nimbleranger17 said:A little girl started feeling sick at school, and she was practically begging for someone—anyone—to go out and find her mom because she was terrified of the protesters outside. "It’s an uncomfortable situation, but we are doing our absolute best to handle it," said the principal, Samson Štibohar.

When they arrived at the school, those protesters were actually pulling on kids' sleeves, telling them they shouldn't be wearing masks.

It is just absolutely surreal that this kind of thing is happening in a country like America. I honestly thought people here were civilized enough to realize that staging these kinds of unhinged protests right at schools and on school grounds is crossing a line.
It blows my mind that there isn't more outrage over this back home. This is completely unacceptable. Harassing children under the guise of "divine laws" and claiming masks are "carcinogenic"? I truly cannot wrap my head around how any sane person could support this madness.

Susan Jackson said:There were also times when people used doctor's excuses to get out of their isolation periods.
It was definitely one of the most straightforward ways to handle things.👍

Nicole James said:So, what kind of flexibility is Lawrence Reed3 actually talking about here?

Nicole James said:The reality is that anyone in self-isolation should be considered potentially infectious.

Nicole James said:Of course, from your perspective, it makes total sense—you head out alone into the woods, you aren't going to run into anyone, you aren't a threat to anyone, so why bother being stuck inside? It seems pointless to be penalized for that.

The problem is, here in the States, people are getting arrested constantly just for stepping out to a grocery store or a local pub. Since there is no way to monitor whether you actually took a responsible solo hike into the forest or if you actually headed out drunk with a group of friends, the only way to maintain any kind of order is to mandate that everyone stays home. At the end of the day, you have to consider those unplanned scenarios—like if you pass out or have an emergency, and an ambulance picks you up and rushes you to a nearby ER where you might end up infecting the medical staff along the way...

Alexander Phillips3 said:What’s even the point of self-isolation if you're just going to bark at everyone online? Who knows where people end up? Why are they even knocking on doors and checking apartments to see who's home? Honestly, go ahead, keep playing the internet warrior. It suits you.🙂

Alexander Phillips3 said:Then why on earth is the police force driving around checking on people in quarantine at home, forcing them to wave through their windows?

Alexander Phillips3 said:And why on earth would I make that up?

Alexander Phillips3 said:Look, whatever she was rambling about doesn't change the reality. If you can't find them at home, they've either wandered off to some massive blowout party or disappeared into the woods to go chase a dog. =kazna

Drew Gonzalez75 said:I mean, what would stop a parent from taking a young child for a walk outside?☕

Exactly. It should definitely be allowed, provided you aren't coming into close contact with other people...

Disclaimer: Personally, I think self-isolation is a totally unnecessary concept given the current situation...

Megan Green72 said:My experience was the exact opposite. First, it’s just a scratchy throat, then the runny nose starts, so I tell my doctor—she says it's nothing unless I've been hanging out with anyone sick or at big crowds. Then the throat clears up, but my nose goes crazy and the coughing starts, plus a fever hits. Doctor again says "it's fine," asks if I need sick leave, and that's it. A few days later, I head back to work since the fever broke, but this cough won't quit—actually, I'm having full-on coughing fits. I've been coughing for four weeks straight and all I got were some suppressants. No fever for two weeks, except for one day last week. Just the cough and the runny nose—not insane, but still there—and it isn't stopping, even if it's slightly less intense now (maybe the pills worked, maybe I'm actually better).

Oh, and my kid just started daycare a couple of weeks ago and picked up some bacterial infection in the meantime. Who knows if I caught something from them. But my doctor won't even touch the subject of COVID testing.😁
