Incredible and senseless scenes in which protestors gather together and endanger others

Where here was poor me believing that all lives matter, irrespective of class, creed or colour.

However, having said that, today every person on the planet is threatened by the ongoing coronavirus, where globally millions of people have been infected, many of whom have already succumbed to an early death.

Now communication with the world has never been easier, as technology gives everyone opportunity to express their opinion worldwide, without putting their own life and the lives of other people in danger of contracting Covid-19.

To have thousands of people, not only breaking the law, but gather in mass, contrary to the scientific advice, endangering others is incredible and senseless.
