Letters from the gulag homeichapelago ii

Fascism rears its head

I was out on my state sanctioned walk

Three police cars pulled up to a couple waiting at the bus stop
One police officer got nose to nose
as he slapped the cuffs on the guy
no face mask, no social distancing

I could hear the woman sobbing
We are just waiting for a bus

Later I saw police handing out fines to people come back from the shops
I guess it's a crime now, that basic necessity of being able to buy food.
