So the virus makes people act violent. Follow the science.
If true; why are they releasing people from the prisons due to the virus?
I disagree; I think its the lockdowns which make people violent. Both Red States and Blue States have been hit by the virus, but mostly only the Deep Blue cities are being racked by violence - which are under much more strict lockdowns decreed by Deep Blue politicians.
The reason prisoners are being released is because of Deep Blue politicians, who somehow find doing this to be in their interest.
