A-hole press trying to scare lawyers away from taking First Amendment cases.

Or, Wittenbrink decided to not take precautions, and is now sick due to his own actions. It also would appear that Wittenbrink has no reservation in speaking to the press.

Anyone who publicly opposes the Lockdown really needs to be careful about their contacts.

The FearBros celebrate the deaths from Covid, and revel in the economic calamity. They’ve been that way since this all started. All you have to do is check out their posting history.

Just get treated with HCQ+ or CHQ+ plus Z-paks then body develops antibodies to fight off the virus to getting herd immunity. COVID-19 not bad disease unless person has underlying serious ailment.

They got it to BoJo they're still trying to infect Trump, I think the president took some HCQ+ as preventive.

“Anyone who publicly opposes the Lockdown really needs to be careful about their contacts.”

We should all be careful about our contacts. From his own words, it is evident that Mr. Wittenbrink was careless.

“I went to Alberton’s twice a day. I wen to Sam’s. I went to Walmart. I went to Lowe’s. I used gas pumps. I mean, I just wasn’t careful.”

Guess he was not one of the “chosen ones”. Not a “true” believer.

“I went to Alberton’s twice a day. I wen to Sam’s. I went to Walmart. I went to Lowe’s. I used gas pumps. I mean, I just wasn’t careful. God knows where I got it. The bad thing is I might have spread to somebody. I feel bad about that,” Wittenbrink told the newspaper.

So the guy represents a Pastor who defied lockdown orders. What does that have to do with the price of bat soup in China?

I’m just going to pray for him. He doesn’t deserve to be murdered by China.

“The FearBros celebrate the deaths from Covid, and revel in the economic calamity.”

You cannot cite a single example of that.

All your reveling and celebration is but imaginings.
