Lutz sparking social unrest

Dr. Bob Lutz, MD, (public health officer/Spokane Regional Health District) has become emboldened with his new-found celebrity and power to patronize us (i.e., residents of the Inland Northwest) on social justice. I know Bob personally, and his roots as a United States Marine Corps physician (Semper Fidelis, Major Lutz!), however, much of the social injustice and systemic racism imposed upon and encountered by urban Black Americans have been under the watch of democratically and liberally controlled cities (Minneapolis, Chicago, Detroit, NYC,, Newark, Seattle, Portland, LA, Atlanta) for over 60 years.

Furthermore, the draconian lockdown measures implemented by blue state governors (Jay Inslee/Washington, Kate Brown/Oregon, Gavin Newsom/California, Gretchen Whitmer/Michigan, Phil Murphy/New Jersey and Andrew Cuomo/New York) have inflicted immeasurable harm on society with the collapse of economies, massive unemployment, shutdown of schools and sport activities, and millions protesting-rioting over their pent-up anger and anxiety over the pandemic lockdown.

Dr. Lutz, sadly, is implicated in the cabal to ignite social unrest from lockdown ideology; hence, the good doctor should return to his roots as a United States Marine.

Semper Fidelis, Major Lutz!!
