Kind of makes you wonder why Americans are so scared of foreign terrorism when they have this kind of home-grown lowlife.

Every nation has people who are barking.

The difference is that in the good ol' USA they are barking mad with guns.

You can bet that if they were black / Arabic / Muslim Americans then it would be called terrorism!

Americans think they are the land of the free - free to protest, carry guns etc etc

A son lives in Texas - employees are not allowed to bring guns into the office. He thinks about 40-50% have guns & ammunition in their cars & pickup trucks parked in the company multi-storey. At home many have more fire power, shotguns, rifles + auto firing - protection & sport are the reasons.

Raging CV in May/June ad little heed to CV avoidance - you cannot tell people to observe caution as they are free to do what they like.

400,000 people attended a motorcycle meeting over an Aug?/Sept ? week in South Dakota - no masks, no distancing etc etc They came from all over the US - estimated CV count was 250,000 - 60% of attendees who then went home on their bikes.

Wisconsin, North Dakota & South Dakota have raging infection now - all 3 are sparsely populated states.

Thanks I did wonder why there was a large number of people showing up in what are very rural areas.

My Bike event in Oxford last month attracted a capped 400 attendees. I had an e-mail earlier this week to say that there were no reported Covid cases amongst the group. In fairness, it felt safe, I camped this year and presentations were limited to 30 in the audience. I was reluctant to to go at one point, but decided that on balance the risk was low.
