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

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 think it would make more sense to quarantine the lawyers.

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

Since the prisoners probably haven’t been tested imo, how do the lawyers know that the prisoners don’t already have COVID-19?

In four U.S. state prisons, nearly 3,300 inmates test positive for coronavirus -- 96% without symptoms

Send "Orange Man Bad" federal and state government Democrats and RINOs home in November!

Supporting PDJT with a new patriot Congress and state government leaders that will promise to fully support his already excellent work for MAGA and stopping COVID-19 will effectively give fast-working Trump a third term in office imo.

MAGA, also KAGA! (Keep America Great Always!)

The wackos in Noho will be out in droves. The hate will run in the streets.

It might be worth the 25 minute ride to go watch.

It would be fun to ask them why they are disobeying the governors demand to stay home and why they are out infecting and killing people. Use their language against them.

“Or we will sue.”

Hidden meaning. I despise leftwing lawyers.

This could be arranged at the prison in question.

One might question the accuracy of these tests.

#5. Quarantine the lawyers? Too late for that. Do a Lexington and Concord on their leftist asses. We know who the internal enemies are in Massachusetts.
