No, I honestly don't get it. But whatever. I'm not going to respond to this tangent again.
(Just to put the record straight, I don't have a diagnosis of any sort. Not sure why that would be relevant anyway.)
Would you report people to the police for for breaking the conditions of the Covid 19 lockdown

Joggers, the new cyclists!
seriously though, the least considerate people I've encountered on my state approved short walks have indeed been joggers.

FFS, there's another thread for having a go at joggers:
As a "jogger" (I prefer the word runner) I am entitled to run, so I do have an sense of entitlement.

Yes. Either the journo or the coppers are talking shit.
What course of action would you take on your worst enemies in reality?

No point, even if you were so inclined. A bunch of reasons...
The law as it stands is lax. The consequences of breaking even what restrictions can be enforced is potentially very serious but in each instance indirect and intangible; you can't be sure what risk people are actually exposing other people to. There's little that I can personally observe that isn't self-evident to anyone else. Finally, the likely response is none, and the likely consequences of that is just to stress you out about your impotence, so it's a pretty bad idea for your mental health, as is silently raging at the same.
All that said, what these discussions usually come down to is something political about the role of the police in relation to people that in some way or other don't deserve the treatment that would be forthcoming. My opinion about that varies but this case I don't have a lot of sympathy for people flouting the rules. In many ways, albeit perhaps not immutably, they're the enemy. If you want something better from societal organising then these are the people whose self-interest stands in the way of it.

I have an image in my head of a brawl that respected social distancing, it would be a joy to watch as harsh language and cutting insults were flung amongst the group.

That's not a brawl, brawls are fisticuffs.

Sometimes you have to adapt to stay within the law.

Not until the police have a shoot to kill policy . And then probably still wouldn't bother as my laziness wins over misandry.
No you only demonstrated that it is never OK
Yes it did and no I didn't.

Can you quote the part of Griff's post where he wished ill on anyone?
Saul Goodman

No it didn't and yes you did. You felt the need for attention, so you completely misrepresented someone's post, to suggest they said something that everybody knows they didn't say.

Evolution of government policy:
The result is many people are confused or have little respect for the rules because the authorities appear to be making it up as they go along. This means that, except in certain clear-cut cases, many fines and orders to go home under threat of arrest amount to summary justice. For that reason, I will not report people, except in those clear cut cases, which I have not so far witnessed.
- Business as usual, herd immunity
- Don't shake hands (unless you want to, then it's OK)
- Think about not going out as much
- Don't go out except to shop, oh, and exercise, yeah and work if your boss says so; that includes on building sites
- + various interpretations of the above depending on which government minister is talking.

So this like so many "forums" is a place where a few mouthy gits rule the roost and anyone who dares to disagree or say anything "they" don't approve of comes under increasingly hostile ad hominem attacks until they get bored and leave?
