Pretty sure it was another rioter peaceful protester, in fact. Doesn't make the sentence any less bullshit.
Has Bob ever mentioned the loss of Uncle Hugo's Used Books? A hell of a lot more was lost than "a Wendy's," but the enlightened Kiwis on this thread know that. I suppose Bob's never brought it up because he's functionally illiterate.
If he was aware, he never mentioned it on Twitter, much like John Flynt didn't as I discussed over on
his thread.
But even if he did know of it, he wouldn't have tweeted about it. Doing more thinking about it after I made that post, I realized that the SocJus hivemind wouldn't have forgiven anyone for bemoaning the pointless destruction of thousands of classic books at the height of the St. Floyd of Fentanyl riots. They'd screech about how you care more about property than every pee-oh-see life extinguished at the hands of the huwhite supremacist police, and force you to recant your position that hey, maybe burning down a bookstore isn't the best method of protest. I remember seeing plenty of tweets along those lines; similarly, I remember a bunch of Covidian tweets yelling about how people care more about businesses than people's lives when they dared to say that maybe shutting down the economy over a cold was a bad idea.
It goes beyond simple destruction too, of which there was a lot more than "a Wendy's" as you said. Not only were a lot of businesses destroyed, but police were hamstrung by lowered budgets and reduced morale, which made previously safe areas much less so. This in turn had a negative impact on other businesses, many of which had to shut down permanently. And that's without getting into things like the idiotic "bail reform" laws that turn the criminal justice system into a revolving door, where criminals just walk out the door and do more crime. Or how San Francisco keeps losing businesses because looters can just walk in, pull anything off the shelves, and walk out without being arrested. The knock-on effects of these actions will continue to have lasting effects for years to come, and despite how some cities have had to walk back some of their anti-cop rhetoric and restore police funding they cut, the damage has already been done.
Bob has to keep downplaying the level of destruction as "a Wendy's burned down." He literally has no other option. To admit that more was lost would mean admitting that the chuds have a point, and Bob simply can't allow that.
What "restrictions" does Bob think are in place in the
world outside Boston "burning house"?
Forgot my masks were drying on the oven handle, went in the grocery store anyway, nothing happened and half the customers weren't wearing them anyway. Only a few places like this store still request them with a sign, only like two places I go require them by policy and will tell you to leave without one. It was a "law" (not even an executive order under emergency shit, really a recommendation by the Democratic Governor and people followed it because businesses requested you do) for a few months back in 2020 in this Biden voting and two Democratic Senators state.
Canada's obviously different, and the trucker thing started as a specific protest against a specific requirement for vaccination to cross the border, but Bob really has no clue what even those he considers "people" are doing. Two Democratic Governors (Polis of Colorado and Murphy of New Jersey*) have literally tweeted (so it happened in Bob's world) that mask requirements (along with most still lingering restrictions) are dumb and they're done with them.
*To the anger of the Zero COVID Cult on Twitter, have a few:

In my area, we haven't had mandates for about a year now, and as soon as they were dropped, I quit wearing a mask entirely. It took some time for others to do the same, likely because of social pressure being too high for them. Nobody likes to stand out in a crowd, and when everyone else is still masked up, you don't want to be the only one not to. Still, things improved over time, and slowly people shed their masks. These days, I'd estimate maybe 10-20% of people still mask up, and they're overwhelmingly boomers. I have not been asked to wear a mask at all since then except for my local comic shop, which I put up with because I like the owner and don't want to upset him. I feel he'll probably be done with it soon too.
I'd argue that most people were done with the pandemic last year when even the dreaded Delta variant proved to be pretty much a nothingburger, to say nothing of OmIcrOn. It's pretty much just the serially-online lefties that are still living in fear of a literal cold. I mean, look at all those histrionics on display in your post: overstating the efficacy of masks (I got the coof when I was masking up everywhere, and in the time since dropping it I haven't been sick once despite being in public plenty), whinging about the "immunocompromised" (aka deathfats that ate themselves into the betus (I know, some have a legit issue, but plenty of them have gotten over the coof just fine)), conflating transmission with severity, blind faith in the statistics they've been fed, and hyperbolic "neverending nightmare" statements.
Meanwhile, in the real world, you wouldn't even know a "pandemic" was happening, barring the occasional mask you might see. They're living in an alternate reality that they can't escape from. Can't say I'm going to miss them.
