It's only going to get worse. Unless there are clear standards which are followed. There is a socialogical reason why this is happening in numerous social gatherings!

Perhaps from the isolation that occurred during the pandemic? Pent up anger and resentment? Whatever the reason it’s awful and people continue to ruin it for the rest of us. Like they say this is why we can’t have nice things.

Oh my GOD ! Please stop with the Oh-so terrible Pandemic sufferings. And don't get me wrong - I'm not talking about the folks who actually SUFFERED - like the ones who died /or their families / or folks who lost their jobs & savings because of it.

No - I am talking about the millions of other folks who are STILL whining because they were asked to stay home so it might protect the Vulnerable ones. Or be asked to Suffer so terribly by wearing a mask. Or they had to actually spend time in the homes they claim to want ,or the families they supposedly Love. But they are still crying about it.

Are you joking? Leaving aside the specifics of what impact pandemic lockdowns had on people, you honestly think they were no big deal, we shouldn’t be going on about them?

They “trampled” on your precious human rights to try to protect as many people as possible. It didn’t happen to just you or just a single ethnic group, IT HAPPENED TO ALL OF US! They didn’t know a whole lot of anything in the beginning, so they were grasping at straws to see if anything could affect the growing outcome!

It’s people like you that turned it into a political issue, when it was really a medical health issue!

I disagree with the notion that the pandemic is the reason for everything under the sun happening! People just suck & they look for things to rebel or fight against! Stop Your Bullshit!

It sound like you ticked off some guys who are upset that their right to throw a punch ends before it hits someone else's face. There are people like that.

This is a time when a "down-vote" button would be helpful for Mr. Wind. Apparently rights are trivial things to be managed by our betters, according to him.

Puhleees, don't turn this into an argument on Who is the (Most) Evil One. Whatever else, people were trapped inside, which can make even an introvert like me cuckoo.

Plenty of people have died with many more being crippled, and the pandemic is still *ongoing*. What with all the other, ahem, interesting things happening, I am more surprised that people are not acting crazier than they already are. Like with throwing hard things at performers.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say, that despite being "cuckoo" you haven't gone out and thrown things at anyone.

There's no excuse for this behavior unless one accepts a total breakdown of morality. We may be close to that, but I hope we're not there.
