Neither did the protesters require masks

[belmen]

Rioting, looting, burnings, and shootings in the streets = 'mostly peaceful'
Celebrating July 4th = VERY VERY bad
You guys lost all credibility a long time ago.

NBC - I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR HOURS to find a story you wrote about 'Masks' for the countless RIOTS AND PROTESTS, including the 'Summer of Love' in Seattle where dozens were shot and 2 were killed. Would you please guide me to your EQUAL - FAIR AND BALANCED reporting?

[johnathansmith]

"...Fireworks Event Won’t Require Masks..." - What a pre-charged introduction. Of course, it's Fake. Protestors and Statue defacing mobsters DID NOT keep social distance EITHER. That is why I do not watch NBC, Fox.

7500 were allowed to attend. 750, 000 placed a bid.

IT'S A PROTEST AGAINST DEMOCRATS. NO WORRIES.

The man had a rally in TULSA and everyone was expecting to see a spike in that area but none until now. south dakota has the lowest number of cases in the country and zero death in the area of mount rashmore... #DEEPSTATE

Trump: I do the best Treason . Believe me. NOBODY betrays his country better than ME!

[m.g]

NO, not everyone should make up their own minds IF they are affecting the health and wellness of innocent others.
Total nonsense!! There is a huge difference between your rights and your responsibilities. #bebetter
