1. We need a 2nd and 3rd test. I don't believe it. Its his lawyer's ploy to get him released.

[we can do it]

13. Why waste another test?

20. +1. So many near-death experiences since his arrest

He is where he needs to be

[Progressive Jones]

2. So, filthy fucking criminals get a test, but the rest of us can't? nt

7. I think it's because 38 tested positive in Rikers and Weinstein was in Rikers.

3. well

if other countries are releasing the prisoners to prevent prison infections... i see that on the horizon

[Laffy Kat]

4. Hmm. Seems like they'd be in the perfect place to self-isolate. nt

6. Cue the drop the soap jokes. At least, Weinstein deserves it.

5. just when i wanted to watch the news at 6 tRump decided to have a briefing about how great

he's handling things so people can't watch the real news.

21. My take exactly. Engineered campaign plan.

8. Thoughts and prayers

9. I am certainly no fan of Harvey Weinstein

but I despise the conditions in prisons that hasten the spread of diseases like Covid-19. Punishment is one thing, but this will be a de facto death sentence for many.

12. Prisons must be worse environments than cruise ships for spreading this thing.

They should probably limit prisoner movement and make sure all the kitchen staff are negative or this could be a real problem. Maybe the privatized prisons will realize they don't want their assets to die and do something. Of course, I understand that many of their contracts require states to keep them at a certain capacity or else they have to pay them X amount anyway. So maybe they don't care. Less work for them if they die.

10. Oh, well, he doesn't get a pass. They need to isolate him and any other inmates to

to a separate section of the prison.

[TheFourthMind]

11. He'll be sipping cocktails with Epstein and Ken Lay soon. Gotta lose a Covid battle first. n/t

15. I asked a DUer if Weinstein would get his Karma

when I read about the prisoners at Ryker's two days ago. I love it when Karma happens in real time.

[marble falls]

16. Suicide by Convid19?

[Firestorm49]

17. Who the hell cares?

[Joinfortmill]

18. Karma was surely pissed at this guy.

[Happy Hoosier]

19. That's a damned shame...

and.... nope. No fucks to give.
