really not sure why cant acknowledge that the protests have merit while also recognizing that they pose risk.
but the progressive narrative is:
protests-good;beaches-bad
To be fair, our “beaches” probably pose more risk.

The ones that did were arrested. The salon owner, the mom in the park, etc but BLM with constant gatherings is OK and encouraged.
Don't even act like it's the same.
Please explain how either of those actions constituted political speech.

Beaches - Bad

We're narrowing it down to just speech to fit your argument?

You understand that, right?

If you can survive the I10 beach you are probably immune to COVID and any pandemic.

Little known fact, Alan Jackson’s “Mercury Blues” is actually about a late night swim in the PPG lights.

TIL Lake Charles has beaches
Bruh, it's literally the 30A of Louisiana. I-10 exit 30A is the LC beach.
I passed by the protest around 7:30 and there was only 50-60 people. Not a big deal IMO.
What businesses were closed for the 4th?
Finally, I went to the beach weekend before last and found 10 pieces of glass without even looking. LC desperately needs to clean it up.

*sigh*
My argument is as follows:
quote:
Whether one agrees with it or not, the current state of jurisprudence from SCOTUS gives higher protections to speech, especially political speech, than it gives to economic interests.
If you would like to undermine my argument, you need to cite to case law. Listing off examples that clearly don't display political speech are utterly irrelevant, as long as my initial argument stands.

You think defying orders to unjustly close your business isn't a version of political speech?

My opinion on the subject is irrelevant. SCOTUS draws a distinction between purely political speech and economic behavior taken in contravention of the law, even if done "in protest". Though, I imagine every drug dealer in the country would be ecstatic to hear that their economic activity is a constitutionally protected protest of our narcotics laws.

He is making his argument as narrow as possible so that he is correct no matter what.

Have you ever seen a toddler stick their fingers in their ears and say "lalalalalalala" so they can't hear what you are saying?
That's what you sound like.

Perhaps and FWIW that made me
I still stand on the side of what TH stated earlir:
quote:
Either close it all or close nothing. This idea that covid is woke af so protesting is fine is just absurd.
Open it all, wear masks, social distance, and keep old/vulnerable people isolated.
It bothers me that so many are losing their livelihoods currently yet a certain group of "leaders" are openly encouraging protest.
Either it's all OK or none of it is.

Weird how the people who support shutdowns and respond to any criticism of BLM protests are Leftists. Odd.
