Daniel "Duke" Trujillo, 33, served as a deputy sheriff for 7 years and had recently been appointed vice-president of the Denver Sheriff Latino Organization. He died this Wednesday from the virus, according to an announcement from Denver Sheriff Department.

Images and video shared to Twitter show posts from Trujillo that rejected the COVID-19 vaccine. A Facebook profile photo he posted in early May said, "I have an immune system," suggesting that he could fight off the virus naturally. In late April, he posted a profile picture that read, "I don't care if you've had your vaccine."


"You f***sticks are really out on social media going 'Of course I went and got my vaccine! I did my research, I know what's in it, you peasants,'" a man says in a TikTok video shared by Trujillo. "Oh buddy, you are the research."

1. It's not smart to be an idiot about a deathly disease spreading. Such a level of ignorance. n/t

[thesquanderer]

32. Maybe technically covid, but the true cause of death was Assholitis. n/t

42. Exactly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! n/t

2. United States Coronavirus Cases:

13. Why is Geogia at number 7 with deaths and it has the same number as Texas #2?

.

[TexasBushwhacker]

16. It isn't

Texas has had over 51K deaths. Georgia is around 20K.

[COL Mustard]

26. Wait... Didn't Lauren Boobert Say

That Texas had no new cases since the mask mandate ended? You mean she was WRONG???????

[TexasBushwhacker]

30. She's a piece of work, isn't she

Perfect illustration of the following quote from a famous Republican:

"Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and to remove all doubt."
— ABRAHAM LINCOLN

She also illustrates the Dunning-Kruger Effect.

FWIW, according to that page, Texas is fairly low on the "Cases per million" scale, as is Georgia. The 9 of the top 10 are red states. Surprise Surprise!!!

3. The benefits of stupidity devolve upon the stupid

Some get to punch their Rewards Card just the way they like it.

Who cannot say they prefer it that way?

20. How true

4. 😏🙄🥱

5. Colorado

Guess they did not heed bang bang Barbie’s advice to stop Covid. Shoulda shot it.

[IronLionZion]

6. It might be a rough summer for the unvaccinated folks

as they gather indoors to escape the heat, enjoy some nice air conditioned freedom from tyranny. And spread joy, cheer, and COVID to each other.

Yes, the vaccines are so dangerous that Trump, McConnell, and most GOP leaders have gotten it without any problem.

7. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

I feel badly for his family, having to deal with his idiot choices.

[twodogsbarking]

8. I will never wish harm on others,

especially dumb shits.

[mahina]

36. Come sit by me

I might like you.

I’m with you on this point anyway- too bad for him and his family. I don’t know how we get through to these people before it’s too late, honestly.

[twodogsbarking]

39. Staying out of the way

9. The SECOND deputy to die

I think this sheriff has some explaining to do.

[Fullduplexxx]

10. He fafo'd

[FlyingPiggy]

12. I work with so many people like this guy. They think they know everything. It's sad but as my father

used to say, "you make you bed, you lie in it". Sad that they let their arrogance lizard brain rule them.

[TexasBushwhacker]

18. I'm pretty sure the vast majority are Trumpublicans

He downplayed it, called it a hoax, said it was no big deal, and they have stuck with his story.

[BigmanPigman]

21. My sister always says,

"Live by the sword...." whenever she hears one of the stories about the deplorables.

[lonely bird]

14. His family and friends are suffering due to his arrogance

That is the sad thing.

[COL Mustard]

15. No Sympathy For Him.

I have zero fucks to give for people who are so stupid, defiant, resistant, whatever you want to call it to not get vaccinated. Condolences to his family and friends, but zero fucks for him.

[myohmy2]

17. shame...

...ain't that a shame...

...

[RVN VET71]

34. I think I like Fats better, but the Seasons did a nice cover

and Frankie Valli’s voice sounds much more, um, joyfully scornful than Mr. Domino.

I’m sad this Trujillo kid let his arrogance prevent him from getting vaccinated and staying alive. Stayin’ alive? As the brothers Gibbs sang it, with maybe a bitter bit of irony for Mr. Trujillo:


Got the wings of Heaven on my shoes
I'm a dancin' man and I just can't lose
You know it's alright, it's okay
I'll live to see another day
Life goin’ nowhere . . .[but I’m]
Stayin’ alive.

19. Like COVID, his reported death is probably just a hoax. He is on that secret Island with JFK, Elvis,

Like COVID, his reported death is probably just a hoax. He is on that secret Island with JFK, Elvis, and Hoffa.

31. And Jeffrey Epstein? N/t

[NCjack]

22. His medical advisor was Donald J. Trump.

[LiberalLovinLug]

23. Q: What kind of law officer was he?

A: A Murphy's law officer

[marble falls]

24. Youthful arrogance'll get you every time you give it a lead. I am sad he leaves a grieving family.

[Marthe48]

25. I'm thinking fewer swing states?

n/t

[DesertRat]

27. A tragic lesson

k&r

[YoshidaYui]

28. MAN WHO DOESN'T BELIEVE IN SHARKS coats himself in fish chum.....

What could go wrong?

[nycbos]

29. This is very sad.

This person got brainwashed to the point where it cost him his life.

[Yavin4]

33. All staff and inmates at prisons/jails should be vaccinated.

If you don't want to be vaccinated, then you cannot work in that environment. Otherwise, you will become a vector for the virus.

[SunSeeker]

35. K & R & Retweeted!

[Sucha NastyWoman]

37. Oh the arrogance!

Hard to find sympathy for that.

And how does a sheriffs deputy get away with posting videos with language like that?

Drunk on his own power trip.

[southerncrone]

38. Mr. Tuff Guy finds out Covid-19 doesn't like hearing his shiit!

[SarcasticSatyr]

40. I guess his immunity wasn't that qualified ...

Oh well, what can you do ....

[Martin Eden]

41. Natural immunity? More like natural consequences of rightwing propaganda

It's tragic enough that he lost his own life but he actively tried to influence others against taking the vaccine, which may have led to more illness and death.

And I doubt he was an original thinker. Who influenced him?

This goes all the way up the chain of the rightwing noise machine. American "conservatism" is bad for everyone's mental and physical health.

[Roc2020]

43. Simply unforgivable that Trump would

play politics with such a dangerous vicious killer disease and fooled so many people to their death. enraging.
