From CNN:

Man released from jail amid coronavirus concerns is arrested on a murder charge

Amid rising concerns of the coronavirus being spread in a Florida jail, many inmates were released early, including Joseph Williams.

Now, the 26-year-old is back behind bars for several new charges including second-degree murder with a firearm, according to the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office.

Williams was originally arrested March 13 for possession of heroin and drug paraphernalia, according to court records. He was one of more than 100 inmates released March 19 to curb the spread of the virus in detention centers and protect inmates and staff.

Yeah, drug possession is a non-violent crime.  Those inmates are just harmless puppy dogs who need to be set free to spare them from the virus.

“There is no question Joseph Williams took advantage of this health emergency to commit crimes while he was out of jail awaiting resolution of a low-level, non-violent offense,” Hillsborough County Sheriff Chad Chronister said in a statement.

I’m sorry.  Haven’t rational people been saying that might happen.  The LA Sheriff just admitted to it.

Williams has a lengthy criminal record that shows he has been arrested for 35 charges, according to the sheriff’s office.

Real perfect candidate for Virus release. A true standup citizen who should have been totally trusted with a “get out of jail free” card.

And now somebody is dead.  The bureaucrats who thought to release inmates because of the Virus should he indicted as accomplices.

This really is a farce.

One thought on “Good job Sheriff Florida-man”
  1. Too bad ‘Felony Murder’ can’t be applied to the IDIOTS that let him loose. Someone should be held responsible, but they never will be.

Only one rule: Don't be a dick.
