When it became apparent that Blue States were actively murdering elderly people in Nursing Homes I think the average person stopped caring.

When it became apparent that Blue States were actively murdering elderly people in Nursing Homes I think the average person stopped caring.

LouieFisk found this gem:

There’s what’s called “depraved heart” murder - from Findlaw cuz I don’t trust my memory right now:

“Often the intent to kill (or malice aforethought) element of murder can be satisfied by showing that the defendant showed extreme indifference to human life. These are also known as “depraved heart” murders.

Acting with extreme recklessness and knowing that act is dangerous to human life (i.e., firing through the floor of your third-story apartment) and ending a human life may satisfy this intent element, even if the person never intended to kill anyone. This has been argued in fatal DUI cases in which the driver was far too intoxicated to form any intent.”

It seems to me that forcing nursing homes to accept patients infected and still infectious people while safe alternatives were available would be an act of a "depraved heart".
