White supremacists encouraging their members to spread coronavirus to cops, Jews, FBI says
https://abcnews.go.com/US/white-supremacists-encouraging-members-spread-coronavirus-cops-jews/story?id=69737522
Racist extremist groups, including neo-Nazis and other white supremacists, are encouraging members who contract novel coronavirus disease to spread the contagion to cops and Jews, according to intelligence gathered by the FBI.
In an alert obtained by ABC News, the FBIs New York office reports that "members of extremist groups are encouraging one another to spread the virus, if contracted, through bodily fluids and personal interactions."
The FBI alert, which went out on Thursday, told local police agencies that extremists want their followers to try to use spray bottles to spread bodily fluids to cops on the street. The extremists are also directing followers to spread the disease to Jews by going "any place they may be congregated, to include markets, political offices, businesses and places of worship."

COrrect me if I'm wrong. Didn't people who knowingly spread AIDS to others face some kind of criminal charges?
It's not hard to mask for the duration of a Target or Walmart visit. Hour, tops?
Shouting, and lunging at people would seem to propel more virus into the air should those clowns have it.
I still say we tell them we are recovering, but still testing positive, and then cough like mad behind our masks in their direction.

And yes I remember people being prosecuted for spreading AIDS. This is not different.
