Crowds gathered outside of the Ohio Statehouse in Columbus during Gov. Mike DeWine's daily COVID-19 press briefing on the afternoon of April 13 to protest statewide shutdowns.

This isn't the first protest regarding the pandemic-related business closures and stay at home order: About 75 protestors gathered on Thursday, April 9.

Approx 200 - 300 people have protested thus far and none of protestors can be seen wearing cloth face masks at the gathering. It also appears the recommended six-foot social distancing guideline to prevent the spread of the virus was largely ignored. People are sick and tired of having their constitutional rights being stripped away for a virus more similar to the common Flu and not as deadly as it's being portrayed.

Keeping infected people quarantined is one thing, but keeping healthy people under house arrest in the name of "lockdown" is tyranny.

Nigerians protest ke? Nigerians that have suffered so much lack, caused by unapologetic greed and oppression by their corrupt leaders for decades now.

You expect these same Nigerians to protest lockdown? Lol. We are conditioned to suffer, smile and keep praying for divine intervention

These guys should be happy they have a government that pays them $1,200 per month to cushion the effect of the lockdown. I hear they want the government to make it $1200 every 2 weeks

I can authoritatively write that Americans who lost their jobs as a result of the lockdown will have their rents paid by the government.

Indeed, these Americans do not understand the value of what they have because they are still protesting. It's a shame!

They should come to Nigeria and see the fraud we have in this country in the name of government giving out audio palliatives

Hmmm. Hopefully one day we shall overcome this plague!!

This American film- Coming to Naija soon.

If you understand Economics, you would know that all this money the government is 'dashing out' will be accounted for in one way or the other - and if this continues, prepare for an economic crash/recession that will hit the world much worse than 2008!

Misleading headline

Here is the true headline:

Republican Conspiracy believers protest in Ohio, US

Don't speak for other people because you are not in their shoes.

No, I am not defending these conspiracy nutters but it is wrong to project
your experience on to a very different people.

The real conspiracy nutters are those who label everybody else as "conspiracy theorists" for daring to stand against the narrative bullsh!t propaganda being lorded over the masses.

Only 3 adjectives?
You can do better.

I have seen your mates use 10 adjectives in one sentence.

How about the "Marxist globalist zionist" qualifiers?
It could fit within your sentence.

There is nothing daring about conspiracy nutters' actions.
It is even been shown to be profitable to the originators.

The protest is not necessary considering the fact that the government is trying its best to stop the spreading of the deadly disease. However, the people including Nigeria can't be lockdown forever and it's imperative for every nation to come up with new precautionary measure so people can about their daily activities.

Petty, childish response.
I expected nothing more.

That you and many protesting do not see the glaring idiocy in the above submission is enough reason for the government to ensure that the stupidity and selfishness of a deranged few, does not result in the total demise of mankind.

Sadly, you might be right. Things may never be the same again.

Covid-19 restrictions will soon be lifted and there will be no more freebies from the government.

How will you survive after that?
That should be your main concern.

Then they start running mad and throwing insults

Post your own facts then instead of repeating the same redundant lines you and your likes spew all over nairaland.. boo you're boring!

Whether boring or not, the reality is that the sane are acting while the insane are reacting.

That situation is good enough for the survival of mankind.

Imagine if it was the insane that were acting.

Not my concern as my company allows us to work from home and we still get our full salaries...

However those protesting are clearly concerned about the future; many are private business owners, self employed folks whose source of livelihood have been stripped away due to the lockdown.
.. Hence the protests.

You can't destroy people's lives and expect them to sit there.

@livingsage this is how it is done in civilized place like USA and Delta state not south west that turn it into one million gang robbers
