    Armed vigilantes in Maine 'help' out-of-state neighbor 'self-quarantine'

    "A group of armed vigilantes cut down a tree and dragged it across a man’s driveway in Maine to force him to quarantine in his home amid fears he could be infected with the coronavirus, officials said. "

    This all is probably sad and scary.. but it's funny as hell to me.

    On 1010 WINS radio last night they led with - "GUN TOTING NEIGHBORS STOP MAN FROM LEAVING HIS HOME --

    Then when they said the story -- not one mention of a firearm ?

    NRA Instructor / RSO & NRA Life Member / NYSRPA member / GOA member / S.A.F.E. Armorer / 03-FFL / Moist Nugget gun nut / Venturing Crew COR / Ammosexual / Wayne County PA - visitors CCW holder / And a right wing Republican Jew with guns

    The word liberal is a misnomer ( look it up )

    And Epstein didn't kill himself

    Online that's called 'click-bait'; TV/Radio it's called a 'tease' (I think) to keep folks tuned in.
    The days of 'Film at 11' are long gone.
    Lots of things are long gone.
    And some really old ideas - like taking care of things yourself - might be coming back.


    p.s...love your sig line, btw

    People are losing their freaking minds.
    "Every person’s life is theirs by right. An individual’s life can and must belong only to himself, not to any society or community, or he is then but a slave. No one can deny another person their right to their life, nor seize by force what is produced by someone else, because that is stealing their means to sustain their life. It is treason against mankind to hold a knife to a man’s throat and dictate how he must live his life."



    COFFEE!

    And it might just get worse. Wonder how the folks will take another month of sheltering at home.

    ****

    Here are a few points from Trump's briefing today, all paraphrased from Trump, unless quoted.

    ~The Social Distancing Guidelines are extended to April 30th

    ~The 'peak' is expected to hit in two weeks, around Easter

    ~"Hopefully by June 1st we'll be through the worst of it and can start to relax the restrictions."

    ~All the (reworked with current data) models show 1.6-2.2M dead if there is no mitigation; with half of US infected.

    ~With mitigation - and strict compliance with the Social Distancing Guidelines - models show 80-160,000, maybe 200,000 dead.

    ~"Some hospitals have been hoarding their own ventilators, which is bad, when they're needed so desperately in other areas - and this is a really bad thing because they're hoarding them because they might need them later." (Some things I remember verbatim).

    ~(Talking about the business loans) "We're taking warrants in these companies, and this will be great for the American taxpayer to have them brought in, they're really great companies, so there's no downside."

    **************

    Just good news all over.

    It especially grates my butt him bitchin about hospitals hoarding their own ventilators on a 'possible future need' when it's the 'possible future need of NYC' that he wants them for and since when can he take from one state to give to another?? Equal distribution of ventilators?? Pfffft.
