Conspiracy-theorists and COVID-19



A conspiracy-theorist rips down barricade-band from a playground, because he "didn't consent" that children are under lock-down and forbidden from playing there.




A conspiracy-theorist harasses a utility-worker and steals his car-keys because of 5G and coronavirus.



And these guys are just the tip of the iceberg.

I remember the days when most people who talked about the flat earth were doing it as a joke.

Reckless Endangerment Law and Legal Definition
Reckless endangerment is a crime consisting of acts that create a substantial risk of serious physical injury to another person. The accused person isn't required to intend the resulting or potential harm, but must have acted in a way that showed a disregard for the foreseeable consequences of the actions. The charge may occur in various contexts, such as, among others, domestic cases, car accidents, construction site accidents, testing sites, domestic/child abuse situations, and hospital abuse. State laws and penalties vary, so local laws should be consulted.

People like this need to be carefully watched because their actions could very quickly grow bizarre and ugly.
