Stifled Liberties Pique Protests

Protests have broken out across the country in response to the decision made by many state governments to restrict its respective citizens’ freedoms.

Seeking nothing less than the reversal of this decision, protesters across the Lone Star State demanded this week that they once again be allowed to realize the agency afforded to them by the constitution within the public sphere.

For their part, states have continued to assert that such efforts at mitigation are ultimately in the interest of the polis at large, which occasionally comes at the cost of individual privilege.

When asked whether the citizen was endowed with rights from the state or, instead, whether freedom inhered to the citizen upon birth, protester, Jay Russo, said, “Look around, dude. Man was born free, right? But, then, everywhere he’s in chains. What’s the point of government if I can’t even walk to the mailbox to get my unemployment check?”
