Washington State, one of the first US areas hit by the coronavirus, still dealing with the fallout.

Over the weekend, 1,500 people gathered at the state capital and Olympia to protest

stay at home orders which remain in place.

A bunch of these protesters apparently picked up some tactics from the left.

On Facebook, they posted the names, emails, and phone numbers of snitches

who had contacted the state to tattle on businesses that opened in spite of the stay at home orders.

Two groups are behind the social media effort to out the snitches.

One group is reopen Washington State.

The other group is the Washington State, three percenters, named after the three percent of

colonists who supposedly resisted British rule during the Revolutionary War.

They posted a spreadsheet identifying those who taddled the government with this message.

You want a snitch on your neighbor, don't expect to hide behind your computer screen.

Leftist activists have used this tactic for years on people.

They've published the names of conservative political donors,

they've even threatened the jobs of people who contribute to ballot initiatives they don't like.

But now, all of a sudden, political outing has liberals outraged.

How dare these right-wing protesters snitch on their snitches!

It's just deplorable, it's beyond the pale.

It's amazing how things can change on a dime.
