Protests are OK, but you can’t do anything healthy 🙄

Did it say that in the article? Please stop repeating lies. No one said this who protested police brutality weren't at risk. That's nonsense.

As a runner myself, I can assure you that nearly all of these types of events have been canceled. The treadmill has seen a lot of use this year.

My wife and older daughter did a 2-mile 'virtual' walk yesterday in place of an event that was supposed to take place Saturday in Springfield. Technically, the event was held, but the organizers kept folks in groups of 50 or less, letting them go every 15 minutes. And yet, according to my daughter, someone still called the cops on them for having too many people gathered at one time.

(In meantime, I got some great quality time with 18-month old grandson who has shown he's going to be a walker/runner someday like his parents!)

Where did she lie? She voiced an opinion based upon observations of the insane decisions and comments being made by democratic leaders nationwide.

JFC why are you so hateful?

Ummmm actually yes, they did. You’re buying into the false narrative.
