He just was supposed to deny entry to customers without masks. Now the entry-denied wife, her husband, and their son are all wanted for First Degree Murder. They are considered armed and dangerous (despite hubbies' previous felony conviction) so I expect police will end up putting them down when a confrontation occurs.

I think states need to issue immediate arrest orders for anybody found in public without a mask. We need to nip this in the bud. An appropriate penalty would be one month of house arrest with an ankle monitor. Step out without your mask and you go right back into quarantine for a month.

Yes. In Italy they passed a law establishing that someone violating the stay-at-home order is charged with a felony they called "aiding an epidemic" and the sentence guideline is up to 12 years in prison. Last time I checked the Italians had indicted 40,000 people.


Please take COVID-19 seriously; don't panic but don't deny it; practice social distancing (stay 6ft from people); wash your hands a lot, don't touch your face, don't gather with too many people, so that you help us contain it.
