TY for posting pix! Incredible...

doing Satan's virus spreading work for him. So tired of American assholes. Dumb, mean and thoughtless.

So stupid & selfish. I live among them here in red, shithole TN. Awful people!

Fear? Greed? Stupidity?

from the event... The Hospital goes nuts normally with out virus during the event..

Greed is never good motivation for anything, imo.

I'm sure.

Little towns in the middle of nowhere reporting cases. Well, given the nature of the crowd at Sturgis infections will be spread far and wide as these folks return home I know it’s an outdoor event but the density of people, plus motels and restaurants, seems pretty likely to me

Darwinism in action. But, they will all go back home and be in other people's grocery stores with NO masks.

Would be nice if the virus would only take out those who are selfish and careless, but that's not how it works.

Idiots!

What could go wrong?

is everything a good answer?

I bet we will run out of Darwin Awards.

Not many of them have reproduced, so they will be eligible! Just makes me angry that they will go back home & be wandering around other people's grocery stores maskless!

250,000 people converging in one place. Heaven only knows how many people will pick up the virus. And then they will take it back to their own communities.
And to their families, and to their friends.

dare wear a mask for fear of being labeled snowflake liberals by their peers.

to give as a final gift to your loved ones. It is to die for.

Can we quarrantine these knuckle draggers there? Say for a month or so?

South DuhCOVID

Good one! Why would the state allow such a gathering during pandemic? Fear? Greed?

even if there was no official rally, so law enforcement and local businesses decided to prepare for it and let the rally happen, since it was going to happen regardless.

No mask mandate = stupidity, I guess, but I can't imagine anyone, not even a cop, trying to tell Hell's Angels or Bandidos to mask up.

I thought perhaps fear was a factor.

This is insane. Taking it back not just to their hometowns but all the food & gas stops in between.

or the Angels are sitting on a mountain of crystal meth for another year. Angel babies gotta' eat, you know? PPP is running out for them too!

The theme of this year's gathering is, "Cull the Herd."

Good one!!!

and every one of them leaks oil like it comes out of the ground, or something. Seriously, after this weekend Sturgis will look like the Exxon-Valdez ran aground in their town. Why can't Harley-Davidson make a bike that doesn't leak oil?

Halloween is over? You can take the costume off now...
m

but you don't. Discretion is the better part of valor.

Yes, voting for Trump was a pretty big example, but this is way bigger on the scale of massive human stupidity.

All these Village Idiots will return to Small Town America and reinfect our towns with the Trump Virus. Lovely. I wish they would die on the way home instead.

They should be quarrantined there for at least a month beyond anyone testing positive or exhibiting symptoms.

Poor SD residents!

Yes, it would be nice if they would all die on the way home, before they arrive in their hometowns to infect others at grocery stores without masks!

'Merica!

Fkn idiots!

If these fools start experiencing the first symptoms of the virus while riding home, it could result in some fiery wrecks.

Before they infect others!

Motorcyclists (I'm one) are already taking some extra risk to have fun just by riding motorcycles. It's uncool to take risks with other people's lives though.

But you are not a covidiot!

Alaska by bike. Now it's dangerous just going to a hotel or restaurant.. And at the end of the day is there a hotel or restaurant open? Are the places I want to see going to be open?
This sucks...
m

half of these "Bikers for Trump" will be too sick (or dead) to vote for the Orange Anus come November. They'd rather die than send in one of those pansy-ass mail-in ballots that Trump hates so much!

Idiots!

is it kind? No.
is it necessary? No.
is it true? Absofuckinglutely.
I'll pass.

KOOL DEADWOOD NIGHTS ( Deadwood South Dakota) will finish the job!! THAT happens in August! 26th to the 30th! People, ELBOW to ELBOW on main street!!! TOTAL IDIOTIC STATE!!

WTH???

Lots of estate sales in 1-2 months.

Too bad they will all travel "home" & infect others in grocery stores while maskless.

But my grocery shopping trips are never longer than 20 minutes, and I avoid maskless people like the plague.

I've been 100% isolating since early March. 👍

The frustrating thing is after thumbing their nose at taking the necessary precautions, when any of them return home and become severely infected with it will expect to be treated as a high priority at their local hospital, even if there's no room.

I wish there was a way to put them at the end of the line for medical care! 🤬

three weeks after they return home. No need for them to make other people sick.

I'd always avoid them.

They should be easy to spot, they are the assholes not wearing masks, avoid them in stores, wear a mask and limit your shopping trip to 20 minutes max.

Lots os asshats in red shit hole TN.

I do avoid them like the plague that they are! And shopping trips short to minimize potential exposure. 👍

They wish worse deaths for us Libs.

I hope they do not infect others in grocery stores, etc!

What are they trying to prove? Other than that they are incredibly stupid and careless.

Not sure. Someone saud they are all Hell's Angels. Not sure.

You know, be one in "spirit"? It's like they are making a point to advertise their stupidity. SMH.

I honestly hope that a lot of these people contract the virus and drop out of the gene pool. I think it would be a good thing.

Natural Selection at work!

But, they will infect many innocent people qt grocery stores & such in the meantime. Maskless. 🤬

tRump virus has ruined everyone's lives.

These morons in SD are just an extension of willful, deliberate destruction of our country by trumputin. 🤬

How many innocent people will become infected by these jerks in grocery stores & other places?

And it's rabid pro-Trump owner, who promised to open even if the nearby town of Sturgis said no rally.

Here's my question: can he be sued by those hospitalized, or the families of those killed, if his campground is shown to be Ground Zero in a mass outbreak?

Asshat!

Thank you for sharing info. Someone else said the town's budget depends on this event for 12% of its revenue.

I wondered whether it was fear of these knuckle draggers, greed, or stupidity.

Who does he have for bands?

The governor and local republican Congressfolk should be there in person to support this event.

🤣🤣👍

That's what bothers me! How many people they will infect. 🤬

IF we had an effective leader, well you know.......people will fail you, science will not.

You stupid cockwaffles!

No wonder repukes deny science. It does not change with whatever is convenient in the moment. 👍

the dangerous fools who get CV from this and irresponsible behaviors elsewhere would show up at the ER and be automatically triaged to the end of the line for refusing to value the expert medical advice enough to follow it. I hate to see medical professionals working tirelessly to save a bunch of arrogant jackasses who couldn't be bothered to take their advice seriously.

1,000%!

Assholes! 🤬

Only 82 cases as of 8/6/20:

Meade County, SD Cases


Of course, this will only reflect how it affected the local population and not how this event helped to spread COVID-19 around the nation.


KY.......... ..........

I feel so sorry for the people who live there!

And I hate that these knuckle draggers will, undoubtedly, infect innocent people in grocery stores, unmasked, of course, when they return to whatever rock they crawled out from under to attend this event. 🤬

This guy is an excellent writer and I may post this as an OP later.


KY........

Yes, please do post it!

Gives people a glimpse into an alternate life form.

Shithole sounds like TN!

The only saving grace here is great Dem leadership in Memphis region.

The author is correct about unconstitutional things that they do here, too!

Thx again for sharing. Please do post this article separately!

in the central area east of Nashville during the 50s/60s. Back then, Tennesseans were the best of everyday people. It was almost all blue in my days and I hated to watch it turn red after Nixon/Agnew's southern strategy. I moved from the State around 1970.

Now, I can't even talk to my few remaining classmates and family......

Republicans and their wealthy backers have divided and ruined our nation.....
