This may be a bit moot in my area as things are already starting to open up but to respond to certain comments.
Protesters are not protesting just because they want a hair cut.
Protesters are not protesting just because they want to go to the bar.
Many of them are protesting because they are small business owners who could lose their business forever.
Many of them are protesting because they need to make money to feed their family.
Many of them are protesting because there are people in their life that are in desperate need of seeing them.
The right to peaceably assemble and petition government are Constitutional guarantees and when people claim this is the "new normal" of course there is backlash.
On the other hand, people could be responsible, by using common sense and not being too close.
If a business wants you to wear a mask, don't complain, that is their prerogative, they are free to make such rules.
(Note: I wrote this and posted this elsewhere before the protests against police brutality that are currently going on. I may address those shortly but this is about the shutdown protests)
