“Should be charged with a fine”? Should be charged with attempted murder!!!
Where is he right now in jail?
@sharon kriese how can he be? Jails are trying to avoid outbreaks also, if he’s contained anywhere it’s probably not a jail yet… but he does belong there..
It’s not attempted murder though
And cant go to jail for it
You just can not fix stupid
I hear acid does a pretty quick job of it
I hope if there won’t be residents that get infected from this individual and if they do end up losing a family member due to this person’s recklessness and complete lack of morals and empathy for human life the are charged with manslaughter not just charged . I have a family member in a long term care facility and there have already been 4+ deaths there. This is completely unacceptable.
How stupid do you have to be to visit the most vulnerable group when you know you have covid? He had to know he was guaranteeing the death of many or just insanely dumb.
Ochams razor my friend
The better question: why hasn’t the government implemented the proper procedures to ensure such a thing couldn’t happen?
It should be a criminal offence to knowingly and effectively spread a pathogen towards those most vulnerable. Especially during a state of emergency during a pandemic.
@Kevlar44 he’s a conspiracy kook
@Jarod 144 stfu
I think Jarod meant it in general. Educate yourself so you know what you are dealing with. Maybe I am wrong tho…
@fil a I imagine the story would read that the guy was arrested and awaiting trial if he had taken a gun into the care home and just had a few desk pops.
@fil a If that is the case, then my apologies!! Sometimes context is hard to understand through comments haha.
Get your parents out of these places, any way you can!
jail time
How do they know the unnamed person knew they had COVID if it’s still under investigation?
Just because they may know who the person is, they need to be sure before accusing and have all the info before they can complete the investigation.
He visited a vulnerable, elderly relative, while fully aware that he had COVID. Was he hoping for an early inheritance?
I don’t know who, but someone actually needs to hear this, you’ve got to stop saving all your money. Venture into investing some, if you really want financial stability
The guy desperately wanted his inheritance?
Why Albertans need babysitting
They should be charged so they will learn lessons.
alberta, aka little america.
Criminal negligence.
Criminal
So charging him with murder?
They should be charged and jailed
Yes. Criminal offense – charge them. And more than just a fine!
Settle down
@jointcheef it’s true tho
Ya sure,only idiots would make such a stupid comment
If lives are lost he is a knowing murderer.🇨🇦
Sickening! He needs to be identified and arrested
