Protesters are already in the suburbs. And they’re putting way more people’s lives at stake than BLM

So this is fine, I guess. As long as it’s white people insisting on putting vast numbers of people in danger because wearing a mask is an infringement of their freedom:

Angry, maskless spectators forced themselves into the Idaho House special session on the coronavirus pandemic Monday, shattering a glass door, rushing into the gallery that had limited seating because of the virus and forcing lawmakers to ask for calm in a crowd that included a man carrying an assault-style weapon.

After some people shoved their way past Idaho State Police, Republican House Speaker Scott Bedke allowed the gallery to fully open as long as the crowd stopped chanting and was respectful.

“I want to always try to avoid violence,” he told The Associated Press later. “My initial reaction of course was to clear the fourth floor. But we had room for at least some more.”

Several conservative lawmakers asked for calm and decorum from the gallery crowd that included a man armed with an assault-style weapon. The session started with a full gallery and few masks.

That carried over into packed committee rooms, where maskless spectators ignored social distancing. One Democratic representative walked out of a committee meeting, citing unsafe conditions.

I would guess these ARE suburban white people. They aren’t getting tear gassed or beaten with night sticks. But they are sitting in large groups, INDOORS, unmasked and putting everyone around them at risk, including dozens more they come in contact with when they leave this place.

Who’s the bigger danger to the suburbs? Black Lives Matter or these people?
