Send him to their office.
Doesn't common sense dictate that a person who has a highly communicable disease and refuses to even attempt to control it is, in fact, a criminal who needs to be detained?
Just trying to give extreme drug-resistant TB the same “rights” as AIDS.
They stick their nose into everything. One of these days they are going to stick it into the wrong place.
He doesn’t have a disability, he has a virulent, contagious, resistant disease. They are different. His existence is a threat to others; a crippled person, on the other hand, merely by breathing the same air others do, jeopardizes no one.
They’re just too stupid to understand that a nation full of dead and dying people have no use for the ACLU...
I agree that this is more of the same from the ACLU, but there might also be just a touch of wanting to take a shot at Joe Arpaio, the famous Maricopa County sheriff that they hate so much.
Heard on FoxNews last night that Daniels does`nt understand why he`s being treated so badly. Being quarantined.
If some Iranian were to show up in NYC, covered in smallpox sores, walking up to people at the airport and coughing at them, the ACLU would defend his right to do so.
This is insane. Ban the ACLU.
Fix it by charging the guy with criminal endangerment. Or criminal stupidity. Both fit.
If he did not understand, then he needs to be involuntarily committed to a sanatarium and held there until he is cured, both for the sake of his health and the health of everyone else.
“In his defense, Daniels has insisted that he did not understand the contagiousness or gravity of his condition.”
That explains why he was in such a hurry (he was afraid he was going to die) to get back to the US to get top notch treatment. He did`nt understand the grvity of his condition. Uh, huh.
gezzzzzzzzzz...the ACLU has to be dumber than dirt!
I predicted yesterday that they would get involved.
But I liken that to predicting nightfall.
I doubt that anyone is at all surprised.
IMHO, this shouldn’t even be news.
The ACLU can contact all those people which had ‘German measles’ up through the 1950s. They were quarantined also. Signs on home doors read, “No one out. No one in!”
We should place Mr. Daniels in a luxury suite in a swanky hotel.
And, since the ACLU attorneys don’t think it’s any “big deal” having Mr. Daniels around other people, they should move in with him.
Or at LEAST give him an INTERNSHIP at their offices.
Just who in the hell does this jackass think he is? And screw the ACLU. This rotten organization is so darn anti-American they should be rode on a rail out of the US. Better still lets just get the lawyers for the ACLU to visit him and hope this nut coughs.
This will be an interesting legal battle. Manadatory quarantines, from the thread of the guy with TB who flew in from Europe, haven’t been done since 1963. That’s before the ADA, which the ACLU is citing. If anything, it will help clarify the law. But this guy needs to be isolated if he refuses to mitigate the risks he poses to the community.
I see this as no different than someone with AIDS engaging in unprotected sex with someone without telling them they are infected.
I wonder who the ACLU would support in such a case?
