I think so..
Not justified..
It against the Constitution. We have the freedom to peacefully assemble even during a pandemic. It isn’t up to the government to go against the constitution

we may have freedoms but people are having to be left in the hospital to die alone because of how serious this illness is. don’t be stupid.
Because we live in a free country, American blood wasn’t spilled fighting nazis and communists for their authoritarian beliefs to reign supreme over the US in a “crisis”.

We should recommend that people stay home but when forced is when it becomes unconstitutional. When that happens more will choose not to follow the stay at home order.

It’s a violation of many rights you are entitled to. It might be reckless but it isn’t illegal and you shouldn’t be arrested for it or fined as that would probably promote the gov’t to limit rights
Reply
If the government can take our freedoms every time they say there’s an emergency, then we have permissions, not freedoms.

It’s a pandemic, the government has the right to keep people indoors. It’s also the people’s responsibility to stay home to slow the spread of a lethal virus.
The whole quarantine is BS. How about we actually quarantine the people at risk? Elderly, people with existing health issues, ect. Let the healthy who won't die get infected to build up antibodies.
Reply
There is no evidence that people will develop immunity once infected with the virus and recovered. And there are plenty of people who don't even realize that they are immunocompromised.
These “orders” are absolutely unconstitutional and a crime in and of itself. This reaction to COVID-19 only goes to show how much of our freedom the government can take with only a little fear. 💯🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

It’s because a lot of America is stupid and don’t know there rights. Probably 50% of the people hear have the same mind as cardi b
2,000,000+ cases and about 150K deaths is not a little bit of fear. That’s a pandemic, and it will play out as it did during the Bubonic Plague, the Cholera Outbreak, and the Spanish Flu
Everyone is so full of themselves with “freedom this” and “freedom that” that you ignore the fact that some things have to be taken away for the safety of humanity
Go catch real criminals and stop violating Constitutional rights to the pursuit of life, liberty and happiness... so stated in Constitution. STOP BEING THE NAZI GESTAPO!!

The government is not a parent figure and my rights don’t stop existing because of a “crisis” me going outside only puts you at risk if you are outside as well so if you’re worried about it stay home.
Reply
Bc fuck the government Quarantine this dick fedbois This isn’t about a virus anymore it’s about control
Reply
They’d just fucking let them out of jail like they are for a bunch of criminals now
Reply
It goes against the right to assemble in the 1st amendment and violates article 1 of the 14th. The states which closed bars violates the 22 as well.
Reply
It’s sad how entitled and self absorbed you are that you can’t cooperate for even a little amount of time to stop the spread and help save people’s lives.
It would violate our rights. Per 14th amendment, with regards to Michigan taking clause from the 5th amendment comes into play.

The government has the right to order all residents to stay home in a time of crisis. Unfortunately some people are to arrogant and self centered to obey gov orders and stay home
There is not enough space inside prisons as it is and they are not kept under great conditions. This would spread the virus more. Instead of arresting there could be a fine or warning.
Reply
People need there freedom if they aren’t infected,qaurintine is to prevent the infectious people from getting around slavery is to keep all in
Reply
Quarantine is to prevent people from getting the virus. If all the “healthy” people go outside, a lot of them will get the virus unknowingly and spread it to all the other people
A humans basic rights shouldn’t be taken or way or at least heavily regulated. It’s called freedom; people’s ignorance shouldn’t be the excuse for heavy government control over the lives of its people
Reply
That “people’s ignorance” has lead to over 150,000 people dying so far. If people are allowed to go out, that will go to the millions
Mr James Bond, your death count numbers are wrong. In fact most deaths have been counted as though let’s say the person died really from cancer, but had covid in the background. That’s now a cov death
this is a country of freedom of we get arrested for being outside what next? they will arrest us for speaking out against the tyrannical government
Reply
Going outside puts you, your family, and everyone else you go near at risk of death. It’s for the safety of humanity, not a method of control
I don’t think it’s justified because you are well aware of the risk you’re taking, so punishing those who gather would just cause more fear in the public than anything else. Recommendation not control
Reply
it’s not just a risk for people going out, it’s a public danger and people continue to do it. it would be great if ppl were smart enough to stay inside
The first amendment (among other things) prohibits the gov. from preventing “the right of the people to peaceably assemble” I think its foolish to go out, but it’s not their job to make it illegal.
Reply
James man, what if I had the flu and gave it to someone and they died. This happens to almost 40,000 Americans a year already and the economy continues. Flu is also one of those that kill the young.
If you “peacefully assemble”, you will get infected, infect others, and possibly be the cause of somebody’s death
If people who have covid are arrested without being tested then people who are apart of the task force and their families and the people who are arrested Are likely to get covid they should be fined
Reply
Let people choose their safety. Imprisoning people for not staying home is pathetic. People will eventually have mental breakdowns and family problems. It’s better to advise rather than force.
Reply
I believe that some form of punishment for endangering the public health is good. However, arresting violators infringes upon rights of individual citizens more than it helps the common good.
Reply
That is the most ridiculous thing ever. Massive waste of police time and resources and money. Plus it is not possible to arrest them because by law, they have not committed any crime.
Reply
Some people don’t listen to warnings. A punishment needs to be in place for any violators of the stay at home order
People need to be able to shop at the grocery or even eat out to still be able to put money into the economy so it won’t totally collapse they are just putting themselves at risk so just let them
Reply
People are entitled to what they want to do . The govt has too much control over people
Reply
The government shouldn’t have the power to force people to stay inside or anything of that nature no matter the cost.
Reply
That’s stupid, Stay at home orders are in place and the death toll is only rising. If there was no stay at home order, the death toll would be through the roof
Freedom of assembly, as much as it sucks that people are breaking quarantine, it would be infringement upon a constitutional right to stop them
Reply
Bruh lmao. The constitution doesnt mean anything in this situation because people’s lives are at risk. “ThE coNstiTuTioN sAys We HavE a RiGhT—“ such a selfish argument in a time like this
The government cannot blame an individual for not staying home. How can we be expected to pay our bills when jobless? It would be easier to stay at home if we didn't have to worry about money.
Reply
This poll is talking about people that ignore the government’s demands to stay home to have fun and do what they want. Going outside to make money or provide for your needs is excusable.
Ok. Now I think if you were to throw a huge event with 20+ ppl. Then yah. But not if you are just going out and living your life
Reply
Why would you charge someone for not staying home ? That’s like charging someone for exercising there right ? You can’t take a citizens rights
Reply
going to social gatherings despite being told to stay home by the government is also an infringement of other people’s rights. By not staying home, you’re putting others at a large risk.
People have to work in order to obtain money. If you can’t get money you can’t get food. That’s forced starvation
Reply
Bruh they never said you cant go outside for food. You can’t go outside for fun is what it means. Social gatherings are a no-no.
You can’t force someone to stay at home when they either need to make money, get food, etc. Especially if they aren’t an at risk person, they take the risk of getting corona or not
Reply
Yes, the right thing to do is to self quarantine. However, someone leaving there house when they aren’t supposed to is not grounds for arrest. Citizens should not be arrested for leaving there house.
Reply
SEVERE violators. As in, people who go outside to party and have fun. Not people who go outside to get groceries.
The government should not and does not have the right for arresting people who are expressing their freedom to assemble. The government should only put in place a strong recommendation to stay home.
Reply
Assemblies infringe on other people’s rights in this type of situation. it puts other people in danger. I have the right to remain healthy and you being selfish & throwing a party infringes on that.

They put others at risk. Not okay.
ReplyBecause it is severe violations not just violations
ReplyThey endanger everyone else and should be held accountable for that. They should be charged with manslaughter. This needs to be taken seriously, especially by the president, who is encouraging this!
ReplyNo point if the world pandemic is playing around.
Replytherere people DYING unless u HAVE to see another person, they should be punished This is a serious situation and I know people who have lost loved ones and couldn’t even say goodbye bc of ignorance.
ReplyBecause this pandemic is serious, we need to stop the spread, it's unfair to the people who stay home and see others still going out.
ReplyI think they should be arrested because violators are pretty much lengthening a pandemic and are killing people in a way.
ReplyThey are not only risking themselves but others too. Contagion is fast and invisible.
ReplyPeople should be locked up and their assets sold and proceeds donated to the ATF, DEA, and FBI. We should also burn the Constitution, including its amendments, because that’s the only it’s legal.
ReplySome people aren’t taking this serious. This is very serious! You could be infected and not know it. The more people out, the more time we’ll have to be stuck indoors.
Replypeople who have the balls to just go out and take a dump on everyone else’s efforts to do their part is inexcusable. These people are making this whole ordeal more drawn out for ALL of us.
ReplyThe virus would not spread faster if we just stayed in our homes. Like I understand the need to go to work but walking around outside for fun come on man
ReplyWe need to stop the virus. Think about everybody else around you. Be a hero. Stay home
ReplyDrastic times call for drastic measures. Some people are selfish enough to care more about their enjoyment than the well-being of others. We need to put an end to this so that we can solve this issue.
ReplyI think the only way to get over this quickly is if everyone listens. People not listening are being selfish and there needs to be consequences or it just won’t make a difference.
ReplyThey may not care themselves. But they know that they could be putting others (especially with compromised health) in danger by helping to spread the virus when violating quarantine rules
ReplyAlthough it's really nice to get out and spend time with people, what's a higher priorty: Your personal wants or lowering the risk of people catching this virus thay are more likely to die from it?
ReplyThis entire situation is a crisis that will only be solved if we all work together. Every single person on the planet, or someone they love, has a pre-existing condition making COVID-19 lethal to them
ReplyBecause we need to be protecting our people of this country the best we can. Yes it’s a right to be able to go into public, however in this circumstance there are certain measures that we need to take
ReplyBc there being stupid there gonna spread it more like I hate being at home all the time so damn much but our lives are more important!!!!
ReplyHuman life is more valuable than money
ReplyThey’re endangering everyone around them, especially the extremely young, old, and immunocompromised. They’re glorified new wave anti-vaxxers
Replythey put other people’s lives at risk for seeing friends, or unneeded activities. people are having to leave their dying mother or father, or CHILDREN in the hospital by themselves to die.
ReplyReckless endangerment, includes this i think because they are are bienf irresponsible In risk of other people lives but we might not have have enough jail space considering there is so many violator
ReplyBecause it is not only endangering yourself but endangering others and this will only lead to more infection. People need to stop being self centered, selfish, and entitled. This bigger than everyone.
ReplyThey should be arrested, name taken down, and then sent home, if they violate it again, they they get jail
ReplyIt’s for people’s health and safety. Being in New York and seeing the amount of death that took place and how it’s being managed through social distancing, it shows the positive impacts of distancing.
ReplyIt really depends on the situation, if they’re out all day and ignoring the stay at home order all together then yes
ReplyAnyone violating the orders is spreading the disease, which leads to more people being infected, more deaths, and a longer stay at home order
ReplyThey are knowingly endangering themselves and those around them, isn’t that technically assault
ReplyThese people are disobeying a goverment order, and endangering other people, therefore by disobeying a goverment order they are defying the law. and by endangering people is almost like terrosism
Replyhonestly everything would go back to normal if these people stopped going outside.. punishing them for things they shouldn’t be doing? justifiable enough.
ReplyThis is why, if a person is robbing a bank then they are putting those hostages in danger, and if you replace the bank robbing scenario with people with covid then they are putting people in danger
ReplyAmerica is in a state of emergency, these stay at home orders are put in place for a good reason, and those who violate them not only put themselves at risk, but all those they come into contact with
ReplyThey’re putting themselves and other people at risk by refusing to stay home. Their actions are selfish and could spread the disease further, which could kill someone and cause them to be responsible.
ReplyPeople are just too selfish and not Cooperating with the rest who is trying to Cooperate. It’s not fair for the rest. Should teach them a lesson.
ReplyPutting the public at risk
