Burn the mask rallies I thought I was watching a science fiction movie. It is so sad and discouraging. To top it off, they bring their kids The parents should be charged with something. No wonder your country is a joke to the rest of the world.

Do these people wash their hands? Or is that a violation of their rights

Lmfao America

Gathering Karen's

Let's have a seat belt burning party next....

Be Extremely Careful Idaho

Haters really attacking Idaho on this one. I can tell you 100%, Idaho doesn't stand alone. A lot of ppl in my area are done with masks at this point, including restaurants and store employees. Ppl need to look outside their bubble and see that most are done living in fear.

This is wrong in so many ways 🤦🏻‍♀️

Grandma burned her bra...nobody really benefitted from that either.

Of course redneck Idaho, where everyone has a gun in their rear window.

Gaggle of stupid

This is why education should be free

Look, homeless people burning masks to keep warm.

Those folks about to make a cameo in the history books and not in a good way

Can we also make sure they get the vaccine last. As they clearly don’t give a shit

Idaho is so backward, smdh.

Poor little girl is the new face of tragically historic ignorance, to be an iconic image of our lowest moment.

Do these people realize that in other countries people wear these regularly when they feel ill. Doctors and nurses wear them to save lives. So sad to see these images.

Have them go volunteer in a Corvid ICU unit and see how it affected 500+ and counting Americans. As long as it don't affect them its ok, elected officials can't think that way, every life s/b important to them, just like the opid epidemic

Ensuring the next generation of conservative, anti-science idiots.

Does that guy have salad dressing in that bag?

Fools

It's good to see those fine upstanding patriots and kinfolk on the prairie homestead are rearing their youngin good and proper to follow the teachings of the lord and strike down the libbie commie indoctrination of homosezekiality...okay, I'll stop.

What a bunch of freaks

I mean, why not start wearing a mask when you’re sick. Even for a common cold.

More than 100 idiots*

LMAO Insurance companies are taking pictures of this fools.

Strong Immune system survival is key. Just cause you can’t afford health care doesn’t me you should not look out for number 1. That’s you!

Exposing children to harmful, burning fumes. CPS should’ve been called.

Those are terrible parents

Idiots.

Inconsiderate? Self-centered? Easily misled? Stupid? Or all of the above

Idaho, with a population of under 2 million, had about 100 folks (if they counted the little kids too, then it's a small number of families) who were out there burning masks. That's a tiny fraction of the population and I'm surprised anyone found it newsworthy.

What a stupid people.. 😑🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

Excellent

Tired of corona..

I saw three things. 1.Increased excess carbon emissions and wasted resources are in line with American habits. 2.The outbreak in the United States may never end. 3.Idiots are teaching their children anti-intelligence.

'The material most commonly used to make them is polypropylene, either 20 or 25 grams per square meter (gsm) in density. Masks can also be made of polystyrene, polycarbonate, polyethylene, or polyester.' Sucking on those burnt fumes even briefly is unwise.

Two things are infinite, the Universe and Human Stupidity and I am not sure about the Universe (Albert Einstein)

people are so fucking stupid

Man, white people really think they aren’t free is they wear a mask.

Poor people. Look at the little girl. This is so sad. So sad.

It’s reminds me of the good old days when the women burned their bra’s, the freedom they felt now I know.😅😂🤣😎

Perfect example of how children should not be taught. Science based discussion of covid-19 by parents would have avoided this.

Burning the mask that still can protect you or protect others when the pandemic is no over no the smartest idea.

Smh at their state capitol, of course.

burnallmasks

Culling of future GOP followers

You're.... OMG!

Cuz nothing say Merca like burning PPE cuz 'derrrrrrrp hyuck muh freedum'

Burning mask is like burning condoms because you think government is trying to control your sexual freedom. Condoms protect you from unwanted pregnancy and STDs. Its your choice why you use or don't use a condom. But unlike STDs, Corona can infect multiple rapidly.

Idaho? I thought only potatoes lived there.... Who the hell comes from Idaho?

Morons of the world unite 😬

American stupidity is just on another level.

Hach, like in the 14th century... To stop the black death, we‘ve burned the pest-doctor

Man...don't you have to buy it to burn it.

burntheoldmask and usenewmask and doublemask to save yourself against COVID19 pandemic is not over and it is the sacred duty of one and all to MaskUp and prevent the communitytransmission It's never too late to wear the mask Hope, the sanity of thought prevails!

Incredibly stupid...

teaching kids this- yet kids are dying from covid. What a bunch of ignorant fools. Drinking the kool aid, not caring about their fellow human. Trash!

Not very Pro-life of them...

Idaho has always been a ridiculous state. Glad I'm not living with such idiocy anymore. Moving out of ID was the best decision.

Best thing I read all day. So sick of masks 😷

Trepublicans and their mentality

sheer idiocy. good thing these morons are instilling decent values & modelling appropriate behaviors for their kids. ;/ sarcasm

🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

Child abuse.

Time for one in Washington State.

Corona virus be like

News reports, some families in the State of Idaho still believes that COVID 19 is a hoax... However, the State of Idaho is reporting 1,883 deaths related to COVID 19 Who's right?

I'm pretty sure not once did anyone who attended this event question their doctors or nurses for wearing a mask prior to the pandemic. Since they hate them so much...

These folks are demonstrating the biggest human security leak in about 70+ years. One way to show the world that the United States is one of those places.

White Privilege! I’m so happy that Joe Biden is our President. We’ve almost lost our democracy. 4 more yrs of Trump would’ve been catastrophic. They’re mad at themselves for losing the election, not at the mask.

Oh. Idaho. Now it makes sense

I'll join them and burn mine tomorrow and stream it.

The right keeps proving why they are horrible for this country. History will not treat them kindly. Goodness gracious.

What the hell has gotten into people? My view of others has drastically changed over the past year. I never could have imagined people acting this GD selfish.

bunch of hillbilly wankers

Meh 😒 100 people wanting attention. Unimpressive.

Idiots

Masks kill the dolphins

Clowns 👉🏾🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

it’s just a mask oh my goodness

Is “more than 100” really that many 🙄 total waste of a Saturday.

Some parents can be so incredibly irresponsible and ridiculous. StopTheSpread WearAMask

Fuck Idaho

It's fine, these kinds of people will be sorry when they all get gravely ill LMAOO

Not wearing a mask. Not choosing to stay fit and eat healthy during a pandemic in which the virus attacks heart and lungs. What’s the difference

Selfish morons. Disgusting to involve their children. 😡

Amazing!!! I love this. It's about time you Americans stopped being pussies blindly following CDC

I wish all Republicans would just leave the country.

What a dumb ideology

Who are you people; the modern day Druids? Thanks for fucking up your children's heads.

Were they used masks at least? If so at least they won't end up in the ocean.

DBChirpy teaching ignorance and hate. KTVB IdahoStatesman

DeFuNdThEpOlICe stayeokegobroke and all the rest of the absolute NONSENSE

Stupid is as stupid does.

Ah, just like religion: indoctrinate them when they're young. USADetainsOilShips3 usak USA

I saw someone complaining vaccines slow in Idaho. Now I get it. three states already in trouble with the UK variant: Texas, FL and CA. Let that sink in. It doubles ever week so it will reach the rest of us eventually. It's the variant CDC most worried about in US.

SmileItsNathan Nazi Party in Idaho!! IdahoNazis

Hope their kids are removed from the homes. Child endangerment is a serious thing.

Anyone who engages in activity reminiscent of rallies in Nazi Germany really needs to take a step back, and take a long hard look inside themselves.

😷...this isn't hard to do

The over 500,000 dead Americans would have been more than happy to have had one of those mask rather than wearing a ventilator mask and dying.

That poor kid has been brainwashed by her parents. This isn’t okay!

cheli23 Right on

Wow look at all those white people SABR1NAMARTINEZ

It’s so terrible how mask have corrupted our young, have created so much economic hardship, have taken so much from us. What the hell are these people thinking about. They are mask. They not only are to protect us, but to protect others. Is it that terrible, really?

Why would you have your children involved in nonsense! Sad!

Yes my young be not afraid all disease is now gone. Welcome to the country of ignorance.

Look at these fucking idiots

That kids parents are assholes.

I love it, should be the best picture of 2021. Burn 🔥 that shit to ashes.

I guess the thought of giving the masks to people who could use them was out of the question for these COVIDIOT protesters?

They delight in their wickedness? 'For this reason God sends them a powerful delusion so that they will believe the lie and so that all will be condemned who have not believed the truth but have delighted in wickedness.'

🙄 I will take the word of Science over deniers 🤷‍♂️😷

All I see is:

Super spreaders...

ChrisRi80029765 See! We need better schools! These aren’t stupid people, right? They’re just ignorant

Let’s see how long they will last out there ...

They are foolish misguided people . Good luck with that . Natural selection 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ WearAMask

Is this a pro Covid gathering or a pro Climate Change gathering?

I suspect books will be next.

America, a trash can fire

These mental midgets should be made to go from bed to bed in the ICU holding the iPad up so a family can say goodbye to their dying loved one.

100

I only can read 🌟natural selection🌟

Why get children involved in this stupidity

Book burning

Only gringos, disappointed but not surprised, I still don't understand how a society like this became a world power

Forbes, struggling for clicks to make payroll?

Another dumb demonstration by the ill informed. We’ve degraded to the point where, when society cannot behave the way it wishes, it in effect, throws a tantrum.

Idiots. We're ahead and it's the seventh inning. They quit now?

A whole 100 people, undoubtedly the vast majority of Idaho.

Insane

White people

This is how the children learn.

Are they tossing in offensive books, too?

Ohhhh the subtle charm of imbecility.....

At the same time these very fine folks will be demanding access to the absolute world-best healthcare (BASED ONLY ON SCIENCE) if they or their family members were to get seriously ill. 🙄

Ok so you idiots went out and bought masks & then burned them. MAGATerrorists

Good old Republicans once again turning their backs on Americans in need thank God they won’t be in control for quite a while after no affirmative votes for COVID pkg

Not one Republican serving today in congress is there to serve and protect us and their recent actions proved it

Full of 'plague rats' now. Not like Idaho is on anyones travel bucket list.

A one time use disposable mask worn for weeks stopped being sanitary long ago. So ya, burn them, those sponges are spreading more than stopping.

Baked Idaho potato ...

Child abuse

How bizarre.

Right. Adding Idaho to the list.

This should be going on at the State Capitol of every state in the union.

Who the heck teaches their children to behave like this in a pandemic. Their schools have rules, you are teaching them not follow safety rules. Society has to play a role. This is utter ignorance. These parents are fools. We are in the midst of vaccinating the public.

Asses

Wtaf

Idiots. You're killing people. I see this as premeditated murder.

It's the new bra burning generation!

Incredibly ignorant!!!

Just 100 in the sect. Seems to be losing ground now Trump's lies are silenced.

So when will doctors during surgery decide to just collectively say ' it's time, no more need of these silly mask things'

When their kids get sick (from anything) they'll be the ones yelling that their government did nothing to protect them. Stupidity breeds more stupidity....

guess none of those little children will become doctors. And to those aging parents, good luck with the MRSA infections when your doctors see you dont mind germs.

Dumb as a sack of potatoes.

Yep, teach the kid to be a stupid follower 😡

'WWWHHHAAAAATTTT......'

A manager with so much ambition goals towards his investors, a man with love and care for others welfare....you’re magnificent when it comes to investment sir gigsfrid

chadbradley420

What the heck? Folks in Idaho sure seem to be a bit on the self destructive side of freedom-lighten up and understand there are some very smart folks out there that can help folks stay alive

Idiots

Is it too much to hope they self-rid our earth their stupidity?

These covidiots swamp ICUs. They should be considered as low priority care.

With poor health systems, Covid19 did not decimate Africa as it did the West,... Even with new reported strains in South Africa,.. Something is off about the conventional news concerning Covid19, no wonder the anger and frustration of people

YAAAAAAAAAAY ! TAKE THAT JoeBiden YOU FOOL !

Bunch of donkeys

Disgusting people

Damn, people keep inventing ways to show they are stupid

Armed insurrectionists in the form of adorable girl children. Genius.

100 😂😂😂

All white, way to go GQP!

Thats why i dont feel sorry when I death tolls

Something out of a dystopian middle school novel. Yikes!

Darwinism

Imagine living an existence where this is something you are motivated to do on purpose😂

Burn them near a hospital... Let's see

Wait...those things cost money.

A hundred idiots

The new sure way to identify republicans.

HAHA 👎🤷

Ted Cruz says he is done with wearing a mask at the CapitolSen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, says he’s not wearing a mask at the Capitol any more now that he’s vaccinated against Covid-19. tedcruz bailed on his adopted state because he's actually Canadian to roll out to Mexico because the thinking he gives a darn about Texas as much as he cares about Canada? Figure it out folks. Proving yet again he doesn't give a fuck about anyone other than himself. Hmmm! Who is forcing him to wear one? Whose life is he protecting? It is very absurd, if a leader of his calibre is behaving like that.
