New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy on why restaurants in New Jersey won鈥檛 be reopening after all.
“So, unfortunately, the national situation compounded by instances of knucklehead behavior here at home are requiring us to hit pause on the start of indoor dining for the foreseeable future,” he stated.
It鈥檚 the Knuckleheads! They鈥檙e at it again! And knuckledheadism isn鈥檛 just making the virus harder to control — it鈥檚 also sabotaging the campaign for police reform.
There鈥檚 another group of knuckleheads inserting themselves into the Black Lives Matter protests in some cities, like Seattle, where now they shut down the freeway every night and continue to block police and emergency medical services.
I got this message from a frustrated listener:
鈥淚s it just me or has common decency been defeated by hoodlums parading as protesters?” the listener posited. “Why are we letting them take over my city? I鈥檓 left completely unprotected. Yes Black Lives Matter but what I see is not Black Lives Matter, I see death and destruction. It just pushes me to prejudge MORE!鈥
This is the problem. All governments are created for the same fundamental reason: to control the knuckleheads.
You can go ahead and reform your government, but if it can鈥檛 control the knuckleheads, pretty soon even reasonable people will start ripping off their masks and picking up guns until everybody’s a knucklehead, and no one can remember why.
