"Libertarian" has too many definitions. That's one of the problems with the label...it's too nebulous. I consider myself a Libertarian because I place a high value on the liberties defined in our Constitution and I despise big government, but others have their own definition. I can imagine someone applying the label to themselves if they have a live and let live attitude and want to protect someone's right to protest, even if it's a group like BLM, whose values are the polar opposite of what I consider Libertarian. Or maybe they said they were Librarians and were misunderstood.

GOVERNOR OF MAINE ORDERS RESTAURANT STAFF TO WEAR COVID VISORS LIKE DOG CONES! [infowars.com]

coalburned comments on Aug 20, 2020:

Only if they wish to use a face shield instead of a mask, which is still permissible. What I find laughable is this, from the maine.gov web site.... "It is acceptable for kitchen staff to wear face shields in lieu of masks when the kitchen or weather is warm. Front-of-house staff may wear a face shield in lieu of a face covering only if the shield is designed to be worn inverted, attaching below the face (e.g. as a collar) and open at the top of the shield, with the shield extending above the eyes and laterally to the ears. Face shields that are open at the bottom, directing breath downward, are not acceptable replacements for face coverings for front-of-house staff. (Updated 8/14/20)" How in the heck is a server supposed to do ANYTHING safely if their shield extends up above the eyes. Surely that would distort their vision. And does anyone really believe a shield that is open at the top is better than one that is open at the bottom. This has to qualify as the dumbest ordinance ever.

BLM is irrelevant in this discussion. Just because they siezed the opportunity to stir up trouble means nothing because, let's be honest, they don't truly give a flip about black lives. The video simply confirms what I believed all along. George Floyd was not a martyr. He was a disturbed criminal who, through a series of dumb moves, put himself in a bad situation. He didn't deserve to die, and Derek Chauvin still has to answer for what he did. But cops aren't bad people by default. We need them. Floyd's death was unfortunate, but in no way would I label it "tragic". And in no way should he be lifted up by the black community as a good person done wrong by the police.
