“#Idaho protesters burn masks at state capital<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

\n

Protesters in Idaho staged a mask burning event at the state capital on Saturday, as frustration over coronavirus-related disruptions to daily life continue to fester. <\/p>\n

At least three lawmakers from the state legislature and the Lt. Gov Janice McGeachin were there to cheer them on, according to local media reports<\/a> from the scene.<\/p>\n

Video posted to Twitter<\/a> suggests that most of the actual burning of masks took place inside small, self-contained fires lit in garbage bins. At least one person was filmed burning a picture of Joe Biden.<\/p>\n

Many protesters, often with children in tow, displayed signs reading \u201cI will not self-suffocate,\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re standing here today to rein back government. To reestablish our Republican form of government, a government that has balance between the branches,\u201d said Daar Moon, a protest organizer, in a Twitter video. \u201cIt\u2019s a widespread grassroots movement, an uprising in that regard, it\u2019s come off very well today here in Boise.\u201d<\/p>\n

Last week Idaho legislators introduced a bill to make mask mandates illegal. Though there is no current statewide requirement, mask mandates are in force in seven of 11 Idaho counties, according to the Associated Press<\/a>.\n <\/div>\n
