A California city official said COVID-19 should be allowed to run its course, killing elderly and homeless residents to “fix what is a significant burden on our society.”
Now his public position could be a pandemic-era casualty, and he’s calling that a violation of his rights.
Ken Turnage, a member of the city planning commission in Antioch, said in a now-deleted April 23 Facebook post that coronavirus lockdowns should be lifted to “let nature take its course.”
“We would have significant loss of life, we would lose many elderly, that would reduce burdens in our defunct Social Security System, health care cost — once the wave subsided — make jobs available for others and it would also free up housing in which we are in dire need of,” Turnage 47, wrote, according to the East Bay Times.
In another excerpt reported by SFGate.com, Turnage said the natural spread of COVID-19 would also cull the “herd” of other people he considered undesirable.
“Then we have our other sectors such as our homeless and other people who just defile themselves by either choice or mental issues,” he wrote. “This would run rampant through them and yes I am sorry but this would fix what is a significant burden on our Society and resources that can be used.”
Antioch’s mayor, Steve Wright, called for a special city council meeting Friday night to recommend Turnage be removed from the Planning Commission.

It doesn’t “cull” anyone unless you deny them the chloroquine.
Hitler would be proud... Stupid f****n Socialist California lunatics.
What’s his political affiliation, hmmmmm?
Playing God is NOT a good thing for this goofball.
You know what he’s talking about, right? All those “useless eaters.”
Why can’t we cull the murderous Marxists? No virus needed.
Idiot. He was removed. One of the main purposes of government at all levels is to protect the lives of the people, not to just let them die. This is just death panels by way of Mother Nature.
You just can’t tell your own truth anymore.
Release your inner Dr. Mengele!
What an asshole
seriously, I don't know how those homeless bums in LA and SanFran stay alive....disease should have bit them yrs ago....
Have you ever wondered how Hitler managed to get “good Germans” to do what they did? I guess for some people it would not be a moral issue.
However misguided he is allowed the right to his own opinion (and people have a right to respond to that opinion).
Governor Lamm award.
Hmmm... what would happen if he had added to the list those persons chronically infected with AIDS virus and others debilitated by the consequences of high risk behavior?
Nope, don’t go there
Imagine trying to get plans approved from a commission with little gruppenfuhrers like this on it. Who put the guy up for a seat on the commission? They had to have known what sort of person he was.
Honestly, I have long hoped that the same befalls his political side.
