A man who was arrested for rioting at a Black Lives Matter demonstration of 250 people in Pennsylvania has told authorities that he went out without a face mask despite knowingly having coronavirus.

Julio V. Torres, 22, wasn’t practicing social distancing measures at the event on Monday and drew attention to himself when he threw “objects which could cause bodily harm at police officers” and spoke to other individuals in the crowd “appearing to be directing their actions”.

Torres flailed his arms and kicked an officer in the side of the head twice, according to police. He also headbutted another cop, a police report states.

He was booked into jail on charges of riot, aggravated assault on police, resisting arrest and disorderly conduct, and held at Lancaster County Prison in lieu of $25,000 bail.

“During the arraignment, it was discovered that (Torres) tested positive, was told to self-quarantine and chose to attend or participate in the protest without proper social distancing, without a proper face mask and has placed other people at risk — both the public who were peacefully participating in the protest and law enforcement,” Lancaster County President Judge David Ashworth told Lancaster Online.

Bring Out Your Dead

Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.

The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.

The false positive rate was 100%.

At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.

*sigh* Such is life, and death...

If a quarantine saves just one child's or one old fart’s life, it's worth it.

Potential murder or attempted murder charges at least.

Our country is insane. Not long ago people were shot for less.

Lancaster has a surprisingly large run down urban area. It’s relatively far from the Amish human zoo area.

there are probably a lot of infected rioting. If they don’t care for other people’s property or the laws of the land, why would they care about other people’s health?

I wouldn’t cry if all of them were infected. Except I’d cry for the nurses and doctors that have to try to save the lives of those who don’t care about life.
