Michigan diner owner who defied state shutdown dies of COVID-19

[James48]

BRANCH COUNTY, MI – A diner owner who kept his restaurant open in defiance of state shutdowns has died after more than a two-month battle with COVID-19.

John Parney Sr., 62, died Dec. 14. He owned the Quincy Diner, 174 E. Chicago St. (U.S. 12) in the village of Quincy. He kept the restaurant open in December 2020, in violation of the partial shutdown ordered by the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services.

(Snip)

Parney was first hospitalized for three days Sept. 29. Two days after his discharge, his family found him incoherent and confused and took him back to the hospital, according to a GoFundMe raising funds for his family.

He had not been vaccinated against COVID-19 prior to his illness, according to the GoFundMe post, but told his family he planned to get vaccinated after his discharge from the hospital, because the virus was worse than even the toughest military training he endured.

Well, he owned those libs, didn’t he?

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

1. Yep. That's freedumb for

idiots.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

2. How sad. Such a shame.

The really sad part is that he went to a hospital. And why bother with a GoFundMe? That's the part I really don't get. Surely he knew that eventually he'd die and had money set aside for that eventuality, yes? No? Huh. I guess I've missed something here.

As Roseanne Roseannadanna would say, Never mind.

[NBachers]

8. Instead, they should be sponsoring a Go Fund Me for the hospital he stiffed.

Don't worry, his bill will be Socialized and we'll all pay for it. Ain't Socialism grand, you fucks?

12. Well they've

raised 22k plus from the GFM. I guess when the going gets tough, get the cyber begging going...

[FSogol]

[RockRaven]

4. Nobody could have for seen this outcome.

[dchill]

5. I don't know about anyone else, but...

...I just feel so OWNED right now!

Actually, kind of depressed. I'm pretty sure he must have heard at least SOME of the other dead libowners that have gone before him. Right? Their heads are above diamonds on the hardness scale. Everything else - way softer.

[orleans]

7. i'm surprised he didn't drop dead long ago

i'm surprised he wasn't in the hospital before september of this year.

and he worked part time at a casino and hotel. and not vaxxed. god, people are so fucking selfish!

[Captain Zero]

11. Must have taken a huge virus load to drop him

But it found him somewhere.

16. "he planned to get vaccinated after his discharge from the hospital"

The thing with most of these people is that until something happens to them they refuse to think of anyone else . He probably viewed people who were getting sick from Covid and dying as responsible for their own death because they were not healthy or strong and it was because they were lazy unlike him .

[Skittles]

35. he didn't get vaccinated even though his wife was fighting cancer

what a fucking asshole

[llmart]

17. Too bad, so sad.

Not really.

[Emile]

18. You think he was a Republican?

If I was a betting man, I would bet he was.

Another sinister prick assumes room temp.

I am sure the berk killed off others with his shithole diner.

[GoCubsGo]

25. I hope his family has more sense than he did, and got vaccinated and boosted.

Or, at least enough to learn from this.

[bif]

26. He showed us!

Cry me a river, pal!

[Midnight Writer]

27. Lived "free" and died. For his right to infect others. What a patriot.

[NowISeetheLight]

36. We need a flag

Like the Gadsden flag. Make it yellow with an elephant and a vaccine syringe with the ghostbuster cross over it, and Lived Free, Stupid, and Died
