Harris and VP Biden call for mandatory face masks

Exactly.

The person that you responded to was obviously not very well-informed.

 

Malicious false alarms absolutely may be prosecuted successfully.

Such alarms can be considered wanton disregard for others. And, that even starts with acts such as students pulling fire alarms at school, though the penalties are unlikely to be significant.

 

The question being asked is whether masks were necessary in this particular case.

The use of the February quote in the context of the efforts being made to control the last half YEAR of American health care policy debacle is not just stupid - it is malicious.

It has NO effect other than to exacerbate the catasrophe that has been allowed to blossom. And, the very first requirement for accomplishing that damage is that of ignoring medical science.

 

There absolutely is room for prosecution if that exclamation resulted in damages.

 

I could walk all day and not get within 6 feet of another human being ... even if I walked into town on a busy day.

Where do you live, that people are forced into such close contact?

 

That's not the point of the legislation. It's designed to accustom you to donning a mask every time you leave the house. If exceptions were made based on your distance from others, nothing on earth would ever get done. You'd need 3.5 billion people to follow the other 3.5 billion around with a measuring tape.

 

Oh I have huge issues with, rest assured. Being on the medical side of things myself, I knew that masks were key from day one. Everyone did (in medicine). It was the boffins at the top who told the pork pies. The worst one was 'if you wear a mask, you might touch your face more'. ****.

 

Parks and beaches aren't great if they're in suburbs and cities. National forests and similar are a much better option during a pandemic. Better yet, have your own thousand acres!

 

Exceptions? It is designed to get you accustomed to letting the government think for you. If you oppose government overreach and abuse of power, you don't care about killing grandma! Its BS. So far, no one has attempted to explain the science behind mask laws.

Dick is going on a walk. At no time will he be within 15 feet of another human. Please explain how taking $100. from dick benefits society:

I have been going to our parks and beaches long before Covid. Can you guess how many times someone set up their blanket and chairs closer than 20 feet?

 

I could also, in the woods — if I go to a store or restaurant that isn’t possible

 

In a state of emergency, I WANT my Govt 'doing my thinking for me'. That's what I pay them for. I don't pay them to do cower in fear of criticism, I expect them to put their big boy pants on. I expect them to fight on my behalf.

It benefits society because it makes Dick (the dick) think twice about behaving like a spoiled baby.

 

Well .. I must say that you're out of your ever loving mind if you're still going to eateries. I haven't set foot in a cafe or similar since February. But as for shops, I can shop in my local village without getting closer than 6 feet. The only incidence is the probably 6 feet it takes to hand my money through the perspex shield to the store clerk. I don't go to supermarkets, period .. but even if I did, ours are rarely so busy that you're forced to be within 6 feet of someone else.

 

Not what the question was... The question was "can you yell fire in a theater" and the answer to that question is yes, you very well can. There is nothing illegal about the exclamation "fire!"...

 

You keep adding in irrelevant information to the question asked... We're not talking about damages; we're talking about if one is able to yell "fire!" in a theater, and the answer to that question is yes, one is able to do so. Again, there is nothing illegal about the exclamation "fire!"...

 

Perhaps you are too young to remember Katrina. Government has proven unworthy of such power time and time again. Do you really need the gov to tell you how to avoid a virus?

Dick is enjoying a day of pursuing happiness and will not be within 15 feet of another human. Your attempt to explain the benefit to society is missing the main point; the actual benefit!

Letting the government think for you is the product of cowering in fear and refusal to wear big boy pants.

 

There are many outoor areas where 6 feet is not at all an issue. Running daily errands (at least in my area) can be a challenge. Were just not use to always keeping distance like this.

 

The question did not have to do with the possibility of prior restraint and it did not have to do with the physical ability to yell that word.

As for what happens AFTER someone does that, what I wrote is correct.

And, it includes and properly positions what you are saying here.

 

I think you didn't read my post.

Your answer does not include how criminal prosecution or tort will proceed from such an event that does cause harm.

As a result, your posts haven't answered any meaningful question concerning such acts.
