Patriot Retort:
Tell me, friends. Have you be asked to join your friendly Neighborhood Stasi?
Wednesday I noticed that the deserted school playground up the hill from my house isn’t so deserted anymore. I texted my brother and told him that the kids in my neighborhood must’ve gotten a little stir crazy from being shut in for a couple of weeks. So they’re out on the playground in force.
Who could blame them? You can’t keep kids cooped up for weeks, not when the spring weather is so nice.
On Thursday my brother texted me asking if the kids are still out on the playground, adding this surprising note:
“I guess you can call 911, and now they’ll send a patrol.”
I thought he was kidding. Like the police around here don’t have better things to do than hassle kids on a playground.
He texted back:
“I read that 911 is inundated with nosy nellies ratting out any groups of 2 or more. So, enter Syracuse’s finest.”
I wanted to bang my head into a wall. This couldn’t possibly be true.
But it was true.
What’s worse? They’re being instructed to do it. MORE
Regarding the thumbnail image up there? One thing taking a major hit these days?
Facial recognition Statists/Globalists lose!
Ever since this shit started I do my yardwork with my sidearm in plain sight. Everyone’s friendly, waves, & maintains the 6 ft. + distance.
Thank you, neighbors!

This is the same mentality of those who, in 1938 Germany, would be reporting the whereabouts of Jews to the authorities.
I have a niece who lives in Portugal with her husband and 6 children. The instruction from authorities is to stay close to home, but going out for walks and a little exercise is ok. She said over the last week, when out on family walks, they have been shouted at by folks in passing cars, shouted at from neighbors in high rise apartments etc., that if they don’t go in the house the police will be called!
(CA story) Two kids were shooting hoops at an otherwise deserted playground. A police officer came and asked for their ID’s and then sent them home after reminding them of the “shelter-in-place” rule. When asked by the only bystander (who was in a nearby location) what that was all about—stating aloud that it seemed ridiculous—the officer said he agreed it was stupid, but there had been a phoned-in report, and they had to follow through on ALL reports.
All police should do is confront the group-get all their names- and tell them this: If your parents or grandparents get the COVID-19 virus, then your names will be provided to newspapers, to your schools, and to the hospitals especially as spreaders of the virus. AND, they should do that in any case, and they should shame these kids as much as possible now, to teach them they have a responsibility to society in general.
Seig Heil Gruppenfueher Tom_from_Ohio!
“yeah kids, you killed grandma!” … that’ll teach ’em
…from a P.J. O’Rourke essay on Cuba in 1998…
“I wandered around the Trinidad region. I went to see the Iznaga Tower, an early nineteenth century neoclassical structure with seven arched and columned setbacks tapering to 140 feet at the pinnacle — monumental but so delicately proportioned that the whole thing seemed about to take flight. It looked like a spaceship designed by Palladio. The purpose of this beautiful and subtle artistry, which took ten years to construct, was to keep the slaves from goofing off. The platation owner would get up on top and give everybody the hairy eyeball. The tower was no longer in use. With the block-captain system, the chattel labor now spied on itself. ”
…funny how a not-as-nasty as flu bug turned us into 1998 Cuba in the space of a couple of weeks…
“Papers, please?”

…the Cincinnati, Ohio police are now refusing to respond to MOST calls, INCLUDING domestic violence, but are still available to nail boards over your non-Corona-compliant business…

In doing my maintenances this week, only essential businesses were open like takeout food and groceries. The exception was a couple of different Yoga studios.
Because patchouli oil and Range Rovers are naturally immune.
I soak my gloves and anything i touch in bleach and alcohol because i’m evil not in tune with the universe.
Assholes looking to blame someone for any stupid excuse when they can’t get their hands on those responsible for their fear.
People are turds.
Next target (when the madness ends): EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEVIL church socials!!! 😮

I called 911 on the yard crew yesterday. Not because there illegal, because they weren’t wearing masks. Then after the police came and politely ask them to put on the masks that the police were providing, Pedro later tried to rape me. I blame Trump.

I doubt if he was trying to rape you. He probably just thought you could use some pruning.
Pedro was so gentle with me last time, too, even though he wrongly assumed my gender.

Due to the quarantine, snitches will no longer get stitches. They will go directly into ditches… like bitches.
I was at the supermarket on line at the deli counter and I was looking at the meals they have arranged in front. I must have leaned in a now I was 3.5 feet from the guy in front of me, not 6. OK, maybe I should have been paying attention but I was just looking at the prices and food and didn’t realize. Well, this big 6’3″ guy about 27 years old who looked around 250 lbs. said to me, move back. I looked up confused and said “excuse me”? He said “Could you move back – sheesh”. I just looked at him stunned. People are going crazy!
Next stop Willoughby – I wish!
In Philly, call the cops on a gang of kids playing basketball and you’ll next be calling the fire department to put out the burning drapes and rugs from their firebomb through the front window.
I kid you not.

See how far gone people are several weeks from now…
if there’s even a society left by then.

If it doesn’t stop raining I’m gonna call the Police.
I’m mad as hell and not gonna take it anymore!
I can’t believe 2 people liked Tom from Ohio’s post.
Kids are being kids, there’s not a damn thing wrong with kids playing basketball and they sure as hell aren’t going to kill Grandma. I’ve about had it with the stupidity.
Thank God I live in the country where without a drone nobody is seeing what we do. If I lived in town I’d already be knocking the shit out of some people and I’d only wash my hands after I was done.
By April 30th there’s not going to be much of a country to be saved forget November.
TheMule- LMAO. Let me know. I’ll be glad to help. I have a list…
What rhymes with swamps? Ditches here are for rain water.

Already hate HOAs. This will make those meetings a little more lively when they try to backstab their way up the chain.
The division is becoming stronger, the lefties are gaining and my trigger finger is itching more than ever.
My hate is aimed directly at the fuck-nut liberal commies.
My neighborhood park has been shutdown and the swing arm gates on the parking lot(s) are closed and locked but people are still flocking to the park, using the neighborhood streets as a parking lot and being very disruptive (loud) whilst traipsing through on the way to the park. It’s all very annoying and I wouldn’t blame anyone for dropping a dime on them.
