Woman arrested for refusing to leave park

Just saw this video of a woman in park with her kids, having a play date with other parents and their kids. Apparently the kids’ playground area was closed so police asked them to leave due to social distancing rules and the women refused, saying they won’t as they pay their taxes Shock

One woman then asks to be arrested and then gets angry when police oblige 😂

What a twat.

ChandlerIsTheBestFriend · 05/05/2020 16:23

Knobs. Did they think social distancing rules don’t apply to them because they’ve got kids? I saw one of those placards said “legalize motherhood” 😂😂😂

This was a set up anti lockdown protest in Idaho USA. I bet I can guess which way they'll be voting in November. Serves them right. I hope she gets more than just arrested.

Well, if you say ‘go on, arrest me!’ what are the police supposed to do? Then complaining about being singled out? It sure is a different country.

I despair I really do. The bristsich think they are being laughed at but those over the pond are much more ridiculous in their denial.
I feel sorry for those in the US trying to abide alongside people who refuse.

Apparently this woman is a very well known anti vaccine protestor too 🙄

Backtolifebacktoreality99 · 05/05/2020 17:26

Yeah... all kind of crazy stuff goes on in America. I try not to pay too much attention...

minettechatouette · 05/05/2020 17:30

I have no idea what the local laws are on lockdown and suspect you don't either. Lots of US states have advisory rather than legal measures in places afaik.

Letsnotusemyname · 05/05/2020 17:38

I bet they’re anti vaccers too.

Pixilicious · 05/05/2020 17:52

Because if idiots like her those police officers are at a higher risk of contracting COVID. I really hope karma bites those protestors on the arse. And no doubt anti-vaxxers too who don’t give a toss about anyone else.

Stupid people. She can’t know anyone who has it or she would know better and not behave in such a way. Ignorant stupid people.

Hiding Jews was also a crime once. Treating slaves as equal as well. No scientific evidence to social distancing but lots of evidence of a dystopian/totalitarian future. Watch Boris Johnson UN speech back in September 2019. He was clearly worried too. Going to far with will lead one into a dark place where they longer know what's really right/wrong

😂😂 I love being Scottish just for comebacks like that alone

P1nkHeartLovesCake · 05/05/2020 18:42

You can’t tell stupid 🤷🏻‍♀️

RedPanda2 · 05/05/2020 18:51

Have you searched #bluelivesmatter on Twitter? The comebacks to this are hilarious! If they were black they would've been shot, so she's getting off lightly

Divebar · 05/05/2020 19:00

How ignorant to compare this incident to Nazi Germany ( maybe the far right only complain about this when it’s them being arrested rather than say.... immigrants)

StrawberryJam200 · 05/05/2020 19:05

I just need to know what the weird white thing dangling by the face of the local reporter woman was?!

JacobReesMogadishu · 05/05/2020 19:06

Stupid idiot. Hope she gets a big fine.

More importantly what was that big white thing dangling down one side of the reporter’s face.....looked like a sanitary towel earring!

JacobReesMogadishu · 05/05/2020 19:07

X post! Grin

I did wonder of it was to protect a headset mic from wind noise but she was holding a big mic so don’t think it was that.

LastTrainEast · 05/05/2020 19:08

No cure for stupidity.

LastTrainEast · 05/05/2020 19:10

minettechatouette the park was closed and sealed (only by tape but that is enough) it doesn't matter about special virus rules. She was breaking the law being there.
