Lawyers say coronavirus risk too great, ask sheriffs to quarantine jail guards attending Northampton Trump rally to ensure inmate safety (Massachusetts)

Due to ongoing concerns about the coronavirus pandemic, multiple Western Massachusetts defense attorneys are urging area sheriffs not to let correctional officers attend a Northampton rally in favor of Republican President Donald Trump and then go to work after the event.

The request was made after “Correctional Officers for Trump 2020” appeared as a listed contact for the rally, called “Trump Standout & China Virus Liberation Celebration.” The event is one of dozens happening across the U.S. this week in support of Trump’s reelection and the reopening of the country amid the COVID-19 public health crisis.

The Northampton event is scheduled to happen Saturday afternoon near the Calvin Coolidge Bridge and Damon Road. The event’s website urges attendees to bring “banners, flags, signs and MAGA apparel.”

“Remember to show your love for all our Police and 1st Responders. We are not ANTIFA or BLM agitators. We are Patriots!,” the site says.

In a letter sent to the four sheriffs in Western Massachusetts, six lawyers in the Northampton area urged the law enforcement officials to ensure nobody who attends the event is then allowed to work without first being quarantined for an appropriate amount of time.

“Since the purpose of this rally is explicitly to support relaxation of social restrictions, we believe it is your responsibility to ensure that none of your correctional staff will be attending this rally, and then reporting for duty at your jail,” the attorneys’ letter said.

I remember a similar situation years ago with aids. All gay people were tested to see if they had aids and are quarantined. What do you think about that? sarcasm

And if it was a “vote for Joe” rally these officers were attending, the lawyers would not utter a peep.

Telegraphing yet another of many attack vectors this virus hysteria is going to be used for, in this case to hamper Trump's re-election campaign. They're gonna try to milk it all the way to November and beyond.
