Proud Boy Who Allegedly Pepper-Sprayed Capitol Cops Catches COVID in Prison

A member of the Proud Boys who was accused of blasting a line of police officers with pepper-spray during the Capitol riot on Jan. 6 is begging to be released from prison after supposedly coming down with the coronavirus. According to Politico, Christopher Worrell’s attorneys claim he contracted the virus while awaiting his trial in a Washington, D.C., jail, and they say their client is particularly vulnerable because of his ongoing blood cancer treatment. The lawyers revealed Worrell’s COVID-19 diagnosis as part of an appeal after a federal judge rejected his bid for release last month. At the time, Judge Beryl Howell noted that Worrell took part in the Capitol riot without wearing a mask, so didn’t appear to be overly concerned about his health at that point in time. Howell also said Worrell’s alleged attack on police with a chemical spray justified his continued detention.

1. What goes around...

[no_hypocrisy]

2. He could have Covid and have no symptoms, thereby negating the need to release him.

[Treefrog]

4. You do know how contagious the virus is, right? He can give it to prison staff, other prisoners.

I’ve got no sympathy for the guy, but the possibility of his spreading the virus is real.

[Xipe Totec]

5. To be clear, the virus is contagious no matter where you are.

The guy can be quarantined in prison just as well as anywhere else.

[Treefrog]

31. I was responding to the person who thinks no symptoms, means no problem.

The virus is contagious with or without symptoms. As far as being quarantined in prison, staff will still have to interact with him. That being said, I agree with the judge who pointed out he didn’t wear a mask at the insurrection, so he obviously wasn’t too worried about it.

[GoCubsGo]

9. He caught it while in prison.

The virus has been rampant in the prison system all along.

[soothsayer]

3. Can't catch a hoax. Who's he trying to kid

7. Insurrectionist Anarchist asks the State to protect him?

Oh, man, such a libertarian snowflake!!

[2naSalit]

13. +1

[Ziggysmom]

8. Let him suffer alone in the hole

He wasn’t wearing a mask at the Capitol, big fool.

[Vinca]

10. I guess that means he needs to be in solitary confinement. Too bad, so sad.

[apnu]

11. Hold up, he claims to have ALL or AML and he went to the Capitol to riot?

This "blood cancer" thing is bullshit. Ask anyone who has it, even if you aren't undergoing treatment, it kicks your ass. Even the fantasy of playing soldier is a stretch.

[wnylib]

28. I don't know much about this particular cancer,

but I do know that people being treated for cancer are at higher risk for having a more severe, deadly case of covid.

While I don't have sympathy for insurrectionists, they should not get a death sentence before they've even had a trial.

[WhiskeyGrinder]

12. Prisons don't keep people safe.

[augyboston]

14. Put his sorry ass...

Put his sorry ass in Solitary Confinement, that will isolate him.

Sorry, not sorry about having no compassion for these treasonous racist fascist bastards.

[Evolve Dammit]

27. Well stated. Zero sympathy for the insurrectionists. His photo says it all. He came to kill.

[Randomthought]

15. Thoughts and prayers

Not

[KS Toronado]

16. When in jail, you get prison food & prison healthcare.

If he had been a law abiding citizen he would be enjoying other endeavors.

[Vogon_Glory]

17. He took a risk when he joined the Trumpie sedition mob

He may have thought to die a heroic death from a deadly macrame needle thrust by a septuagenarian ex-hippie, but it looks like he’s facing the Covid virus instead. I’ve no sympathy for these people.

[not fooled]

21. "Deadly macrame needle"

[lark]

18. Karma came. n/t

[IronLionZion]

19. Nobody deserves blood cancer

but this boy made bad choices that he shouldn't be proud of. Black and brown boys often pay the ultimate price without any special treatment.

[George II]

20. Thoughts and prayers.....

[Harker]

22. I guess it's his blood type on the small chest patch.

It does say "A POS", so maybe it's a character description, also.

[zaj]

23. He's joined the Gates/Soros conspiracy to control freedom lovers!!!!

[Beastly Boy]

24. I've got one word for him:

Bleach.

Ok, two more words: UV bulbs.

[cayugafalls]

25. Awe...traitor has the sniffles? Buck up cowboy, your leader says its just a cold...

[ProudMNDemocrat]

26. Karma, baby. She will get you in the end.

[Roisin Ni Fiachra]

29. Another tragic victim of The Orange Liar and his Big Lie.

Mama don't let your babies grow up to be fascists.

[marble falls]

30. I do not care. Just as long as he stays in jail, I am all right with it.

[malaise]

32. Consequences MoFo

Think about them in advance next time
