The protests were mostly organized on Facebook, which says it has removed anti-quarantine events promoted in some states, and have garnered the encouragement of Pres. Trump.

“Government mandating sick people to stay home is called quarantine. However, the government mandating healthy citizens to stay home, forcing businesses and churches to close is called tyranny,” reads a statement released by the Pennsylvanians Against Excessive Quarantine.

Protesters demonstrate at the state Capitol in Harrisburg, Pa., April 20, 2020, demanding that Gov. Tom Wolf reopen Pennsylvania's economy even as new social-distancing mandates took effect at stores and other commercial buildings. All 67 counties in Pennsylvania have reported having positive coronavirus cases, according to the data.Despite the grim numbers, organizers of the Harrisburg protest complained that they will have endured seven weeks of home lockdown once May 1 arrives.

The various protesting groups claim they are not affiliated with any political party, or political action group, according to the statement. But many in the crowd Monday held up Trump reelection posters.

This shouldn’t be happening as it prolongs stay at home orders or could prolong the stay at home orders by spreading it to even more people

They’ll spread the virus.

Guess this is the social distancing Trump claims he saw in the other protests. Wonder exactly what pictures he was looking at?

And liberal fascist Facebook censors the rights of Americans for peaceful assembly or freedom of speech if that goes against their liberal fascist agenda of hating Trump or the US! Don’t remember FB stopping BLM or ANTIFA riots attacking cops or Conservatives! Hypocritical bigots

I knew Facebook was involved and they haven’t learned their lesson. They allowed Hillary to be demonized. Are they going to do the same with Biden?

Let the info they are doing spread and let the market place of ideas handle it. Stop acting like China. Freedom of the press and flow of info is a Western Value we can't lose. Odd how ppl are thinking this won't be used wrongly in the future.

Facebook there is no difference between you and CCP.

2nd Ammendment Nazis!

These people have no damn clue what the DR’s and Nurses are doing every day to save people !!

I've come up w/Solution! Let all (R) MAGA go back to work & if/when they get Coronavirus.. they cannot Recv tax dollars from (D) or (I) states!! So, NO tax dollars from California, NY, IL, NV or any Blue states! And if in a mixed state.. (R) party to cover ALL related cost?

not true they where organized on twitter people stop using face book for going after conservatives, WE all support the people for speaking out against there governors abuse of power and going against there constitutional rights, Face book gives user data to democrats

Even in California😰😭

At first glance I thought it was the Village People but now after looking closer they appear to be future patients! THANKS TRUMP! DonaldJTrumpJr realDonaldTrump

It’s a sad day when Facebook has to be the moral compass for us...

If the protesters keep meeting in such groups, there may be a lot less voters for Trump in the coming election!

Of course it was Facebook.. fucking Karens

I really dislike FaceBook now It held such promise but now has sunk to promoting discord and hate Facebook Will it ever recover?

Facebook's home is in California. Zuck's Asian wife took care of that.😃
