New Normal: Neighbors reporting Neighbors

July 5, 2020 by Wayne Creed 3 Comments

When did ratting on people in your community become normalized?

Democratic candidate for Congress Nate McMurray calls for people to report “support” for Trump. The same candidate said if you support Trump you are a traitor, and hence guilty of treason. This is a dangerous chill of 1st Amendment freedoms. Is this an outlier?

This seems to happen all the time. My friend in DC told me that at the height of the quarantine, he was out in his driveway lifting with his sons, when his neighbor called the police on him.

I myself have had people turn me into the Facebook thought police on several occasions, mainly because they disagreed with my point of view.

Social distance shaming was very popular on the Shore, and if you can’t wear a mask, you are basically considered a murderer for going out to get groceries.

    This guy is beyond the pale! I cannot believe that someone like this would even be considered eligible to run for congress. We are certainly in trouble. We must fight back. Speak up and speak out. The silent majority cannot afford to be silent any longer.

    Very ignorant, insecure people.
    There are limits yo snitching on a neighbor. Sure if it is murder, domestic violence. Not every day crap. Get real people, this is NOT a communist country
