--- Quote from: Zero999 on March 31, 2020, 09:38:50 pm ---I suppose it could be argued that people are terrified of Covid-19, so infecting food would it would cause fear and terror. At the very least she should be done for criminal damage, but making people believe they can catch a potentially deadly illness is more serious. --- End quote --- You would be rightly terrified if I pointed a gun at you and threatened to kill you. Should I ever do so I'll be charged with "Assault with a firearm contrary to the Firearms Act 1968" and get five years for it, I won't be charged with a terrorist offence just because I made you and any onlookers terrified. But I'm not really talking about the tendency of prosecutors (especially US ones) to be as nasty as they can be to the accused by piling up the harshest charges they can twist to fit the case, but the tendency of everybody to misuse the word nowadays. |

--- Quote ---A woman charged with terroristic threats for allegedly coughing and spitting on produce, meat and other merchandise at a Pennsylvania grocery store.. ..She was booked into the Luzerne County Jail with bail set at $50,000. --- End quote --- If it was something really "terroristic" there wouldn't be such low cost bail set, imho.. |

This is sort of an interesting take on the whole coronavirus thing here in the US, just ignore the title. |

--- Quote from: nctnico on March 31, 2020, 07:49:37 pm --- Well, the experts over here say masks are useless (do more harm than good) in the hands of the general public and people should also refrain from making masks themselves. IMHO you have to see this in the light of culture and how well people will adhere to lockdown and distancing rules. If people don't adhere to lockdown / distancing rules then wearing masks may be better than nothing. Also how and where the mask is worn matters. It is still cold in Europe so a mask will get wet in seconds when worn outside. In some places it seems they hand people masks when entering a shop and throw the mask away when exiting the shop. --- End quote --- Corona Dumbassery FAQ: 1. Those 'good luck' masks for 'better than nothing' painting and dust use, can quickly fog up glasses too, so idiots will likely be walking or DRIVING a vehicle half blind, and have an accident that may take them out before any deadly sniffle comes along or worse, causing a fatality event on others, and the idiot lives, to be stupid again.. >:( 2. Hoarding toilet paper, future generations will belly laugh :o :-DD :-DD after verifying that this generation were indeed gold standard imbeciles for priority #1 stocking up on such 'vital essentials'. It may/should become a future military gaming favorite shoot up game 'Toilet Roll Call 11' 'WC Space Invaders' 'Frugal Bowling Alley' and so on.. :D There's probably some great standup comedy about it by now in venues. 3. to Infinity. TBC... ::) |
