No less irrational thank requiring the wearing of something that is completely ineffective in spreading the virus

She's a mayor. Not the governor.

Her job is to make sure my trash is being picked up.

If I wear a mask that is deemed offensive, racist, or just hurts someone else's feelers, can they make me take it off????

Could I be forced to break a so called "order" bc I am offending someone?

This is your opinion Karen.

why are you so against relying on personal responsibility to take very reasonable steps to protect other people?


Show me how it is reasonable when the masks aren’t worn correctly and aren’t proven to help. Especially these cloth masks. Stay 6 ft from me and problem solved.

Lol @ the EO. What a sham. Great way to raise cash since the state is cash poor. We’ve all been had. Where is the outrage?

ETA: me thinks they are trying to provoke and incite violence. Those liberal idiots aren’t total idiots I suppose. It will backfire like always though

I know of no scientific consensus that masks do much against COVID. and I spoke with two doctors on Mon that both indicated that masks, the way they are worn, probably increase the probability of transmitting the virus.

Emotion seems to drive the need to wear a mask. It just FEELS like we are protecting ourselves.

The absolute worst among us.
Just remember that all the turmoil that is stirred up in the country usually starts from a lawyer.
When the shite hits the fan, just remember who all they are. We know where to start when the ropes come out.

In her case, it is more of “make sure the trash gets do-nothing NGO jobs.”

False. It’s a parish-wide ordinance and St. George is part of EBR Parish. Broome isn’t just the mayor of Baton Rouge, she’s also the Parish President of East Baton Rouge.


Doesn't change the fact that there is zero they can do to enforce it on individuals

Because it makes no sense when you consider that there is no end point to the policy. No sense whatsoever. Are we going to wear them forever? If not, what exactly is the metric we will use to stop wearing masks? A vaccine? There is a better chance that we NEVER get a universally effective vaccine than there is that we will develop one.

It is pure, 100% just virtue signalling and FEELING like we are "doing something". Again, the masks will not stop the virus from spreading through the population. It will only slow that spread down and distribute the cases over months and months and possible years. Why is that automatically a better result? Why is that automatically worth all of the restrictions?

REALLY? Based on which of the more than two dozen conflicting opinions of various health technicians, who as recently as two days ago warned that not only are masks ineffective they are also potentially dangerous to the wearer.

You worship a god of political lunacy, but worse, you quite obviously have no qualms whatsoever assaulting the personal freedoms of Americans for no more than moral preening and laughable virtue signaling.

Are you suggesting that everyone wear white hoods? Oh, that could be quite comical, a bit dangerous but comical.

Wasn't really thinking white hoods, but just some of the good ones I've seen here.

The China a-hole, trump mouth China, or at this point and American flag.

I wonder if enough people started wearing mask such as these, would they say no more mask?

My biggest issue with this entire thing. I have no voice in how this is handled, and this prevailing attitude that government officials know better than I do regarding my own safety is absolutely reprehensible and dangerous.

At what point does our input even factor into the equation?

It doesn’t. If you complain, she will piss and moan about people being “ungovernable” and not realize that maybe she is a fricking dimwit.
