Before the George Floyd protests cured the coronavirus and erased it from the front pages, there were other protesters who were trying to get stay-at-home orders lifted so they could go to church or perhaps save their small business from ruin. Of course, those were violent “domestic terrorists,” a small minority of whom were open-carrying, while others were nearly as dangerous without masks on their faces.

Way back then, we saw plenty of lockdown fans passing around an “opt-out notice” on Twitter and other social media, telling the stay-at-home protesters to sign a waiver declining medical treatment were any of them to contract COVID-19. White House correspondent April Ryan didn’t post the form, but she did make the suggestion:

Should protestors who endanger other Americans by not following @CDCgov guidelines about physical distancing be required to sign a waiver refusing medical attention at a hospital and not take up a ventilator if they contract coronavirus?

Turnabout is fair play, and now that the Black Lives Matter protests have turned into either “defund the police” or “abolish the police” movements, James Woods is wondering if the abolish the police crowd would be willing to opt-out of calling the cops if the need arose.

These same people wanted lockdown protesters to opt out of medical care if they got Coronavirus.

Exactly! Just like when they told people to sign a paper saying they should refuse help by nurses/doctors if they went out or didn’t practice social distancing through the whole virus shit!

When their home is burglarized or they are assaulted or rear-ended by a drunk driver, let them call their social justice professor or the nearest Walmart associate to investigate the crime. That should work out OK.

Exactly. If minority communities do not want a police dept. It should be designated so. And they should be given a phone number to call a community activist on their next domestic dispute, homicide, drug overdose, robbery..While other communities maintain police forces.

...since leftists/democrats condone chaos and lawlessness we should support them being the test group. Celebrities too...no security guards allowed in the test group...wouldn't be fair to the socioeconomically disadvantaged.

Where I live, the local EMTs have fundraising "subscription" drives. Perhaps if emergency responders really did require a subscription (perhaps income-based) to render aid, then these gnat-wits certainly could opt out and have to fend for themselves.

Someone really should make up some waivers to pass around as the pro-lockdown crowd did. And that lawyer dressed up as the Grim Reaper to shame beachgoers could be the guy who responds to 911 calls.
