They’re kidding? We’re not even in the path and it looks like the storm is going further south. They must have nothing better to do for attention.
The diaper faces say “stay at home and be a superhero”
I can decide for myself!
My body, my choice.
City of Gainesville: you can lick my @$$!
Go ahead and try to be tyrants and enforce a curfew. Let’s see how well that works out for you and GPD (they wouldn’t even comply and enforce a curfew btw).
The city has zero right to halt private transportation and commerce. Your threats ring hollow.
Safety over ignorance
Constitution over feelings
Can they make a curfew on the panhandlers first to see if that works?
Was planning to stay home but now I feel the need for a civil liberty test case. If you want to waste tax dollars we will certainly accept you invitation for a lawsuit.
Yea, I think I’ll go out tomorrow night.
Screw ‘em.
Whoever the “city” is, please state your authority for this announcement and provide the legal basis for this deprivation of our civil rights. Standing by…
🤣😭😂 Who are they kidding? They can’t even keep panhandlers out of the medians.
Hahahaha!😂
Nailed it!
There isn’t going to be much of a storm here to speak of. These guys are idiots, as if we didn’t know that already. Just leave everybody the hell alone for once.
The Gainesville City Commission are a bunch of pathetic, self-serving attention-seekers. The storm is going way below us.
If you pretend to be homeless you will have a free pass to do whatever you want. They won’t touch you.
Surely you mean ‘unhomed’
‘Urban Outdoorsmen’, DAT
Urban: climate change refugees
Bravo City of Gainesville! I am so pleased to see the adults take charge. There is no good reason for anyone to be on the streets if our leaders have told you to stay home. SHAME ON YOU!!!! I will personally be monitoring this from my war room in Malibu. In addition, I will speaking to Dr Prizzia and others. Be advised citizens. I am serious.
Lots of big talk. You’ll do as you’re told.
Mike: keep your face mask 😷 on so you don’t spread your germs around and get another booster C19 shot 💉
To protect us unvaccinated!
This from the people who encourage smoking (cigarette ashtrays on the street) and drinking alcohol out of the bars on the streets.
