I have to say, some people are really short on brains nowadays.

He’s lucky no one hit him with a 10’ pole - or at least a 5’ steel pole.

Note to self: NC has ‘perpetrating a hoax’ law on the books.

Maybe he will catch the whoo-hoo flu during his stay in the jail.

Except for sideways comments I make here...I don’t joke about this sickness in the general public. I did jokingly tell my wife and a neighbor to keep a socially acceptable distance while they were talking down at the street the other day. They yelled back “We know, six feet!”. But that’s it. Doesn’t seem right. That, and I’m just sick of the hate-filled Left and their constant anti-Trump rhetoric.

Give him a choice. 5 years in jail for a hoax, or serve 120 hours waiting on and assisting Coronavirus patients!
