My problem with this whole fiasco, from Day 1 is that we, the people, and the government we form, don't seem to be operating on any principles that we have had for 200 plus years.
What is the end game? What principle is guiding the coffee slingers? Should they be policing the entire Manhattan Beach scene for violators?
Keep in mind, this started in a big way back in 2001. "If you see something, say something." Two mid twenties people like them (I'm guessing) have never been in a world where you're not supposed to rat out someone SIMPLY BECAUSE YOU THINK THEY ARE SUSPICIOUS, or in this case BECAUSE THEY MIGHT BE ENDANGERING YOU OR SOMEONE ELSE. That's what they've been told in school, on public transportation, by the "news", in airports, and now even as they walk around at Costco "wear your mask... keep a safe distance... we want you to be safe... let us know about suspicious packages... if you see something say something, citizen."
So, here we are, I guess.
Welcome, friends to August 1, 2020. The state is your daddy (see the official BLM website), and western whiteness is bad. Words can cause damage. So can, we're told, silence. Citizens have the duty to snitch on each other. We've always been at war with Eastasia.
