[Folly's place]

A few years ago I happened to be in Israel for a week, for a friend's funeral. The international news included the Flint lead water crisis as a lead story. It's sad to be famous for all the wrong reasons!
Now we have all this going on, and it's certainly not better.
Not that Israeli politics are so great either, but never mind.

I've been thinking very unkind thoughts about them...

Went to TSC today, and more people were wearing some sort of mask. Not everyone though. I guess some folks are invincible!
Again we got to watch those good folks invading our state capitol this week, with automatic weapons yet! It's great to be notorious internationally, as 'What are those crazy people in Michigan doing???' At least I didn't recognize any of their faces on TV...

Those aren't automatic weapons
Those are semi automatic weapons

It is mandatory that Wal-Mart employees wear masks. Although the type of mask is up to the employee. Some here are just wearing bandanas old west bank robber style.
IDK if banks are open now days but if so how strange is it that today you would be looked at hard for not walking in with your face covered?

Maybe THAT'S why our bank lobbies are all closed! If you need a teller, here, you have to use the drive-thru.

So they were semi-automatic? That makes me feel so much better!

It’s really disturbing. Turned on the news this morning to see an old guy defying the shutdown orders because “it isn’t as bad as they say”. He’s opened his barber shop. Good grief!

As DS is fond of saying, "You can't fix stupid ... turns out, you can't quarantine it, either!"

Here banks are drive through at best, many branches are ATM only. It makes sense to me!

But the fools wielding them are automatic IDIOTS! They're the ones who make the rest of the country think positively about gun control ... time and place, fools, time and place!

That week in Israel, with soldiers on street corners with Uzis, was about safety, and looked -comforting- while these angry people in Lansing just looked the opposite.

Ignorance and wrong terminology is 99% of the problem when talking about someone's 2nd amendment right. Yes it matters and it matters alot
