Backlash Against Pennsylvania Quarantine Kicks Off in Anti-Shutdown Rally in Harrisburg
By
Protesters are converging on Harrisburg, Pennsylvania on April 20, 2020.
They are rallying against the state government’s recent measures that has shut down most of the state.
Some of the protesters will not be wearing masks, which runs against most health guidelines states are taking these days.
“I’m definitely not going to be out there shouting at people for not wearing masks,” commented Chris Dorr, the organizer of the rally taking place at the statehouse. “This is a free country, right?”
Dorr, is an Ohio Second Amendment activist, who recently created the Pennsylvanians Against Excessive Quarantine Facebook group as a way to give people a voice against the shutdown measures. On April 16, 2020 the page was able to attract 20,000 members. The next day it had over 46,000.
“It’s going insane, quite frankly,” he said.
Pennsylvania officials learned about the gathering and have cautioned Pennsylvanians to not attend.
“If you come to Harrisburg and you’re not practicing social distancing, then you are putting all of yourselves at risk,” Dr. Rachel Levine, Pennsylvania’s health secretary, said on April 15. “So if a gathering like that happens and they’re not practicing social distancing … then they will be more at risk for contracting the dangerous virus.”
