See through government overreach

To the Editor;

Gov. Mills, the Department of Economic and Community Development and the CDC. It is nigh impossible to contact you for clarification. I pose this logic to the public in hopes that they might see through the madness of the government overreach that has been occurring lately.

Proponents of 24/7 mask donning and the destruction of people’s livelihoods argue that this is a state of emergency and that this overreach is worth it if it saves even one life. Certainly, one cannot deny that COVID-19 can cause an inflammatory reaction that might kill a person that is elderly or already sick. In other words, COVID-19 could cause serious bodily injury or death. 

Following the same train of logic; Title 17-A subsection 107 in layman’s terms, justifies the use of deadly force when a law enforcement officer reasonably believes that there is threat of imminent use of deadly force upon themselves or a third party. Likewise, 17-A subsection 108 allows for private citizens to do similarly. 

In this law, one must reasonably believe that imminent deadly force is going to occur. In the “enforcement” section of the Governor’s mandate, it states that a law enforcement officer should enforce the order by any means necessary. It is not such a leap for me to state that, according to Mills, her DECD, the CDC and any mask security force out there, not wearing one’s mask is tantamount to murder. A person that does not abide by the “guidelines” is putting everyone around them at risk of death and/or serious bodily harm. Therefore, police and private citizens should not just be arresting, fining or ratting on their neighbors for non-compliance. They should in fact be using deadly force upon the people that deny the science and defy the Executive Orders. 

This train of logic should make it pretty simple. 

One must either agree that dissenters are vectors for a seriously deadly disease. This person must push for stricter sanctions, for rounding up or, even shooting the non-compliant due to the risk that they pose to even one person, let alone the general public at large. 

Alternatively, the far more reasonable thing might be that; one must disagree to the use of deadly force in order to protect others because COVID-19 is not as deadly as Gov. Mills and her bureaucrat friends claim that it is. The science is on my side here.

Before accusations of straw manning occur, let me put it this way. If you ever had Influenza or an upper respiratory infection; you killed somebody’s grandma. A person cannot and should not be held accountable for the spread of a virus with such a low efficacy rate.

The reality is that 99.95 percent of all age ranges that catch COVID-19 will survive COVID-19. It is a political fear tactic that has been pushed on the people in order to divide and control them and rob them of their freedoms. If it isn’t obvious to you after 10 months then there is no saving you. If you have some semblance of a brain you will realize that the police are not enforcing the dictates because they know it isn’t an emergency. If they thought it was, they’d be shooting people left and right. Let businesses go from the political extortion. Stop pitting people against each other with social shame and fear tactics.
