Virus vigilantes in small towns are calling out and reporting neighbors they suspect aren’t strict about social distancing or quarantine

Lake Forest, Ill.—Last week, William Zordani and his large family took their Golden Retriever, Sunshine, for a walk near their home in this leafy suburb north of Chicago as they waited out the coronavirus shutdown.

That evening, a woman who lives a few blocks away posted a photo of Mr. Zordani, his mother and five of his six siblings on their walk to the town’s Facebook news site, lambasting them for ignoring social-distancing rules and endangering the community.

Snitches.

Wow.. the worst part of the commie (and nazi) regime were exactly these types of vigilantes ready to pick up the phone whenever and inform the police of the illegal anti-party practices. Never thought that this would appear in the land of the free.

These creepy people need a better hobby.

People are losing their minds

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Communist invade small town Communist vigilantes in small towns are calling out and reporting neighbors they suspect communist.

It's happening in Chicago. Just follow CWBChicago.

Communists!!

Good!

Canceled my subscription yesterday looking for a focused business paper any suggestions? WSJ is left

You my American brothers are just stupid, staying home should be a law, cant you see what is happening here in Spain or Italy even if we all stay home?

Kill the body to save a finger! Alas, the finger dies also!

We would all save so many lives if we never leave our small apartments again.

Please stay home as much as possible, practice extreme social distancing, wear masks, and keep disinfected. Save a life, maybe your own.

Not Enough

Good

How very totalitarian of them

OOOH OOH TEACHER TEACHER

Shun and shame the tattletales.

Rightly so, people are dying from this.

Hello

Govts have done nothing to dispell the myth that if we all hole up in our houses 24x7, the virus will go away. This is a long haul. People need to carve out a tolerable niche and that includes going out for some fresh air once in awhile.

Ah yes. The feel of socialism. Ain’t it great?!

The “Snitch Gene” in liberals runs strong...

Gladys Kravitz!

HoA letters for all!

Sounds rather fascist to me!

Wow sounds eerily like another time in history...

Nazi Germany

Why are we pretending this is only happening in small towns?

Snitches get stitches! And the Gestapo don't exist anymore!

All it's takes is a pandemic and your own neighbors snitchin 😤

And they are doing everyone a service by doing so.

When I was younger I always wondered how the Salem Witch Trials could have happened. Now I know.

A acquaintance stopped by yesterday but left insulted because my husband & I put on gloves/ face mask & stood in the middle of our yard to speak to them. They asked us if we were inviting them inside & we told them empathetically, No. They called us snobs. Better a snob than dead

Next thing they'll be shooting them. 🤔

Unfortunately needed but sounds very like part of history.

No one likes a snitch
