  1. He basically said nothing new
    As long as Residents just shake their heads to me (which they all do)I can enforce what ever i want, but when i fear any opposition i will all sudden melow down
    So residnets you decide when you had enough so far seemingly you havent

  2. There is no defending the indefensible, period

    Liberals have shown their true colors. They could care less about black people being killed, nor could they care less about their health or the health of the public, nor do they care about the people’s livelihoods, they only care about POWER!

    Fools will keep voting for them until these liberal leaders turn the America into a social state like communist Russia.

  3. His answer boils down to this.
    He will allow large gatherings of people ,who could otherwise overwhelm the police if told no, to do whatever they like. He will even praise them and use kid gloves, or in this case no gloves at all! This is because there is an underlying and real threat of violence, as we have seen.

    However, the rest of the peace loving citizens and business owners who are not a potential threat will be dealt with harshly. After all, they are law abiding citizens, so he will make them pay for any violations. As a bonus it’s desperately needed revenue for the state. He figures, what’s the worst that will happen? They won’t threaten violence.

    This does not mean that all protesters are rabble rousers. It means that he recognizes that there can be a mob mentality, as has been evidenced across the country, so in order to avoid that he will pacify them at all costs. Am I saying I doubt his integrity? Yes! Mr. dentures aka gov. Murphy is playing politics. He does not believe in the underlying cause for the protests. He just wants to avoid riots and looting. If he picks up votes at the same time all the better.

    Why he feels that since the rest of us don’t represent a potential threat of violence is any reason to act differently is beyond comprehension!
    Perhaps if he had looked at the underlying emotions and motivations behind other groups and gatherings such as funerals, weddings and graduations, he would have had a human response as opposed to a purely political and greedy response.

  4. Wow! What an epic tipish.. Blabbling so incoherently, cant even make sense of what the tipish is saying… Who even voted this guy into office???

    These need people need to be held accountable for their actions!

  5. Yet another fine example of the Democrats golden rule: “Do as I say, not as I do”.I’m not sure if I completely followed his ramblings, but what essentially was said was “if it feels different, than its ok”-that’s as profoundly dumb as it is scary…also a big fan of the juicebox look, gives a clearer picture of who we’re dealing with…

  6. You could see how much #blackvotesmatter to him;) ppl protesting lockdown are terrible for not staying home but protest blm obvs much more imp:) we’ve been fooled the hold time the lockdown was all a scam

  7. I guess we just have to be extremely angry and then we don’t have to follow the rules! The double standard is despicable! Time to hold the government accountable.

  8. What he was saying is ..that if a protest would not be allowed a lot worse then just coronavirus spread can happen and that would be very dumb to let happen… im maskim hes a tipish.. but at least listen to what hes saying!

  9. Here my evidence democrats are listening to protesting and want cut police funding !!! Hello we can’t live without the police department.., yet crime will shoot up. The police don’t want to respond calls if their wages is cut. This is ridiculous of destroying our community protection. Stop voting for Democrats and you see what they are doing in MJ and NYC and other states. They are destroying us.

  10. I did not have a hard time understanding him at all. I will help translate from insane liberalism into plain English.
    “This somehow felt different” = as a true liberal nut, I worship science unless it conflicts with my “feelings” sort of like the gender thing.
    “I couldn’t imagine from a law enforcement standpoint = that is liberal nut speak for “I couldnt care less about black lives as evidenced by the fact that I do nothing about crime which takes a lot more black lives plus I shut down the economy destroying jobs and the lives of countless black and white people. But I was scared if I don’t make believe black lives matter, I would get called all types of names by my fellow open minded progressives and the beheimos would go on a shopping spree. So I conveniantly forgot about social Distancing “

  11. Hello did you say something was something answered was there a question asked that was answered right now I didn’t hear anything did you hello but I didn’t think you just answered my question can you please repeat. Or hid he just mention tge siyum hasahs

  12. So the next time you get pulled over for running a red light just say “you know officer, it just felt right. I don’t know why but it just did” and see if it gets you off the hook

  13. This guy outdoes himself every day with his naked hypocrisy. I never fell for him and his ilk, never for voted for him.

  14. Although Murphy does not answer, the difference is that when freedom of assembly is connected with freedom of speech and freedom to petition, you have put together the most powerful force under our Constitutional scheme, the last resort in our system of checks and balances, a more effective check on power than three branches of government two-sovereign federalism. Sure personal freedom, habeas corpus and due process might be the most important rights to you and me, but freedom of speech is structurally necessary for the preservation of our republic.

    At any rate, the Supreme Court has long recognized the dual nature of the First Amendment speech. One the one hand, it is an individual right like all others, on the other hand, it is most important check on government power.

  15. Hello everyone, if I heard him correctly, he gave us very good news.

    His Executive orders are for the local municipality to enforce IF THEY WISH!!!!

    Please correct me if i am wrong.

    If thats the case. I THINK WE HAVE ENOUGH PEOPLE IN TOWN THAT CAN SPEAK TO THE MUNICIPALITY AND GET THING’S GOING!!!!

    OTHER THAN THAT, HE WAS JUST RAMBLING, AND I WOULD ASK THE GOVERNOR, TO PLEASE HAVE AN INTERPRETER EXPLAIN WHAT HE IS SAYING, JUST AS HE HAS ONE FOR THE PEOPLE THAT UNFORTUNATELY CAN’T HEAR!!!!!

    • That is exactly what i herd, it’s up to the local municipality to enforce.

      Time to go to town hall and ask the Mayor and Police to not enforce the lock down per the Governors instructions

    • Yep that’s exactly what he said. So mayor coles can you please open our schools. Or is it the police chief who calls the shots? Whatever it is let’s start a campaign and get this town open. There’s no reason to wait for Murphy, he said so himself.

  16. The supreme court 5-4 ruled California was not unconstitutional order because all gatherings had the same ban not just religious gatherings. Well… There are gatherings and gatherings. ..

  17. What he did was wrong and he certainly has no great answer to give. His numbers and dates seem to be irrational and not based on “science” as he says. It is totally hypocritical to march there and give summonses for those that attend a levaya.That being said,it does not mean that we should be more lax in social distancing because of this. Weather we should be social distancing and to what extent is a question for Doctors and Rabonim to decide.

  18. I would direct the governers statement back to him. He says you can’t deny protester’s the right to defend their stance against racism. I would ask him, how can he deny other’s their right to practice their religion?!
