Lewis Funeral Goers Receive Selective Enforcement of CV-19 Rules From D.C. Mayor
2020-08-02
[Wire via Red State] n Friday, we reported about a man who was flying in for his father’s funeral when he observed the large funeral for Rep. John Lewis (D-GA) and made the heartbreaking tweet that his family would not be allowed to have more than 10 people at the funeral, because of virus rules.

"I get it. My dad wasn’t important. So it’s ok to limit his funeral to 10 people tomorrow," Brink said.

An ABC reporter, Wendell Edwards, accused the man of making an attack on Lewis, which he was not doing. He then responded about the man, "His father was important and should be celebrated. But he was not John Lewis."

Translation: some people are more equal than others.

Now, on Saturday, Washington, D.C. confirmed that was true. Ordinary people going to Atlanta, then trying to go back to D.C. are required to self-quarantine for 14 days, according to the order of Mayor Muriel Bowser on July 24. That means they would have to "stay at their residence or in a hotel room, leaving only for essential medical appointments or treatment or to obtain food and other essential goods when the delivery of food or other essential goods to their residence or hotel is not feasible" as well as monitor for virus symptoms.

St. Louis Blues? Clever musical puns always appreciated here, Pancho Clunk2773, especially when performed by a master musician.

#3  Roger that whole 'entitlement + power' thing, but I think the time is past for some other term than Elite, which still bears other connotations for many.

#2  Something akin to 'selective enforcement' of speed limits on I-285 around Atlanta.
