1. Go, go vectors!

Give me a C. Give me an O. Give me a V. etc.

"TAKE THE TUBE! TAKE THE TUBE!" Soon it will be time for the intubation challenge for some of those folks. That will be exciting.

2. I'm honestly not sure how they could rule in favor of it

There's no law saying the CDC recommendations are required. The state gov't has made it clear they're not interested in enforcement. Sucks, but there really wasn't any standing to rule in their favor even if cases are spiking.

4. The virus made a compelling case for right to life

7. Agreed ... for better or for worse. n/t

9. Unfortunately, I think you are exactly right. What probably will happen, though, is that some

asshole will sue the City of Tulsa for failing to protect them.

17. If someone sue Tulsa, that person will most likely lose.

Tulsa has the request to follow CDC quidelines as well as the state Supreme Court ruling denying the request, it also has the Trump campaign indemnity release attempt that each participant had to agree to in order to get a ticket. People that attended the rally will have done so aware of the potential consequences.

3. These people wish to roll the dice to own the libs....let them.

Everyone being cautious has done their due diligence, but the lemmings are swarming.

15. OK I'm owned! They owned me! They got me good!

5. They sure showed them!

6. Has trump signed a waiver that he won't sue

Attendees that may be spreading COVID-19?

8. Do you know who took it to court?

11. I googled it, but won't link to the source (RW site):

"The action was brought by John Hope Franklin for Reconciliation, a nonprofit that promotes racial equality, and the Greenwood Centre, Ltd., which owns commercial real estate, and on behalf of two local residents described as having compromised immune systems and being particularly vulnerable to COVID-19."

12. Thanks so much for the quote!

I searched but either the articles didn't go that deep into the story or my ad blocker made the news sites off limits to me. Thanks a bunch!

I thought that maybe a the city was behind it in order to show that they did what they could to keep people safe from the virus. Prevent lawsuits since the city own it.

10. Trump wants people to waive their right

to sue him if some gets the virus tomorrow but could the sue the BOK Center? Could the
Public sue the City, Stitt, anybody for additional increase in the infection rate?

What legal recourse do the nonTrump people have for Oklahoma putting the public at risk?

13. And yet the fucking judges met by phone

Zoom. Why weren't they in their court house - fucking double standards.

[Kablooie]

14. Some of the attendees have only a few more weeks to live.

And for a lot of that time they will be suffering intensely.
They should be reminded of this so they can revel in their last moments of life to celebrate their con man.

18. There's likely to be a stark contrast in the outcome from this event

with people crowded together indoors with no masks vs. the outdoor protests where most everyone is masked and carrying hand sanitizer.

It's going to be a gruesome science experiment with human beings as the test subjects. The data will be useful, but some of them are going to pay for it with their lives.

And for what? The sociopathic, narcissistic orange blob will be entertained by having the power to convince people to kill themselves for him. It's revolting.
