Topic: People have been protesting massively during the COVID-19 pandemic.

 

Title: “ First lockdowns, then riots- here’s how left’s hypocrisy added fuel to the fire”-Rep. Ken Buck

 

Thesis- Protesting is a good thing for when you want to fight for what’s right.However, not during a COVID -19 pandemic.

 

Reason 1- Meanwhile protesting, you’re surrounded by a bunch of people when you’re supposed to be socially distancing.

 

Reason 2- Protestors have taken it a little too with looting, damaging business , even getting hurt by the police.

 

Related Stories- 

  • My friend Nyah went to go protest and it turned out to be so dangerous and reckless that she had to leave immediately.
  • Protestors were getting hit with rubber bullets and injured very badly.

 

Quotation- “Yet, as these vigilantes take to the street, I have yet to hear any state or local leaders cry “social distancing” and break up these mass gatherings out of coronavirus concerns.”

 

Counter argument- “I will always stand up for Americans’ First Amendment rights — whether it be peacefully protesting or practicing their faith. However, in no way is the behavior we are seeing a peaceful demonstration.”

 

Refute the counter argument- The behavior isn’t right, but what would you have expected? We have been going through this for a long time and people have reached their point where something needs to be done. Voices and feelings needed to be heard and that was their breakpoint to do so.
