The overwhelming majority of protesters attending the government's self-inflicted economic downturn in Ohio and across the nation have been
common folks, average Americans and households, families, mothers and fathers
with their children, youth, adults, veterans and elders. These people are seeking a redress of their
grievances at the symbol of state power in Ohio, the Statehouse. They are not typically or necessarily Trump-supporters or anti-vaccine or other special interest or cause groups.

The concerned citizens’ signs tell the story, “Open Ohio Now,” “Unlock Our Economy,” “People Are Essential,” “Jobs Are Essential,” and even “Give Me Liberty or Give Me COVID-19.”
The only hate that I observed was the deep disgust and dissatisfaction with Ohio’s leadership, the Governor and the Director of the Ohio Department of Health who carelessly insist on issuing edicts which have had the affect of killing small businesses and jobs of Ohioans. Their orders are seemingly based on questionable guesstimates, which have proved to be based seriously flawed mathematical models.
Apparently, Ohio’s leaders continue to rely on these unrealistic models using them in making their plans to reopen Ohio.
What is hilarious to me is that the writers of one of the stories said that reporters were afraid for safety reasons to attend the protests, yet young children as young as 4 and 5 hold signs protesting the future ramifications for them as the economy is crushed and the debt skyrockets.
