This is a warning message: You have to destroy that evil government. Not only this biochemical weapon, I saw a nuclear war is coming. You have to protect children from corona virus to stop the war

Yes, put them in jail. Who ignores the rules during this time deserves to be arrested. They put other people at risk for their religious bullshit.

nyc jews don't obey shit. I swear, they don't look both ways before crossing the street. They forgo the sidewalk and just walk in the street. They don't use turning signals on their minivans. It's nuts!
