re: Oregon Governor encourages citizens to call police over gatherings

Yeah.. That's what I'd do.. Be a fricking snitch. This is the stupidest fricking thing ever.

Let's talk this out.

First, if they are already together, in theory, the "damage" would already be done right? So let's say they have all been together for an hr.. Someone sees them and calls the police. The police goes over there then what? At that point what would be the reason to try and break up the gathering?

Next, lets say I (or you) pass by someone's house and they have a bunch of people at their house. Why would anyone call the police? It isn't a threat to you at all and they are adults. They are responsible for whatever they decide to do.

If people decide to keep it small this year then cool. I understand, especially if there are older people around. But if a family decides to have a big family gathering, everyone who attends makes the decision to do so.

If some of them get really sick and have to go to the hospital and they are not able to get the right treatment because there are too many people in the hospital.. Then that's on them.

But if anyone calls the police because they see gatherings, that person is the biggest bitch there is.
