Shot... Again: shot with a gun... over a half dozen puppies to death
This will always be the most disgusting, but best, example of how bad Covid madness got.
To the point where a bunch of guys were so terrified of breaking social distancing rules, they literally walked up and shot puppies to death to keep other people away. Nothing else can properly express how comfortable Covid made people feel with being brazenly evil, while still convincing themselves they were the good guys.
It was literally the modern Crusade, where because they were pre-absolved of sin they could do the most vile acts possible in the name of their God.
It also demonstrated that there is no order too vile for a government foot soldier to fail to comply & complete all in service to maintaining the continuity of his relatively measly pay & pension.
The absolutely craziest part of that is that it was one of the first things they ever did.
"People are sick?!!! Quick! MURDER THE PUPPIES!"
They weren't being made crazy by months of propaganda. This wasn't cops watching thousands of bodies being burned outside hospitals because the morgues are overflowing. The initial reaction was murder the puppies with guns.
Not "confiscate the puppies", not "force everyone to take a covid test when they pick up the puppies", not "threaten the owners with arrest", not "force the store to refund the purchases". Hell, not even "take them to a kill shelter and dispose of them like we would with other dead puppies". No. The first thought was: gun the puppies down like you're the fucking punisher.
The initial reaction was eye-bleeding, mouth foaming, pants shitting, extreme cruelty, wild maliciousness, and unnecessary violence intended to terrorize the general population.
The government starts a lockdown and screams "I'M NOT LOCKED DOWN HERE WITH YOU, YOU'RE LOCKED DOWN HERE WITH ME!!!"
This is why I said to Australians on Reddit, "I wouldn't be surprised if 50,000 people die in Covid camps, due to overpopulation spreading disease, causing detentions to extend indefinitely, and simply burning the bodies to dispose of them rather than 'risk contaminating quarantined sectors'." The level of callous disregard for humanity was extreme and immediate.
It was late in the summer when it happened. So it wasn't immediate at the time, though 5 months does feel quick in the grand scheme.
Because March and parts of April were pretty chill. Everyone was fine with complying and the fear hadn't ramped up yet because we all still kinda believed that "two weeks" line because that made fucking sense. Then the fear mongering ramped up, likely because the Left saw a prime opportunity and they never slowed down.
That's what makes it so bad to me. That literal months after the worst of it had already passed, they were still so terrified and willing to resort to such extremes. They were far and away past anytime where "bodies piling up" could be possibly happening, and were jumping at literal phantoms.
And their reaction to those phantoms had them thinking shooting puppies made them the good guys.

And the rationalization of it all. "Yeah it looks bad, but it was necessary, and you deserve it."
holy shit
