Right, because we can really expect criminals to follow orders.
FACEPALM. Houston, we have a problem.
Just wait until the virus calms down, then proceed to your usual criminal behavior…?
According to Breitbart:
Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner (D) on Sunday urged would-be criminals to remain in their homes and “chill” until the Chinese coronavirus epidemic subsides in the Texas city.
“The best way to help police officers is to not commit a crime,” Turner told reporters during a press conference on his city’s latest efforts to combat the deadly illness. “Until the coronavirus is resolved, criminals, take a break.”
If criminals are going to commit a crime, their last concern is how to help police officers, especially when the chances of the criminals going to jail for their crimes is eliminated for the time being. If anything, the duration of this pandemic will appear to be more opportunistic for criminal behavior.
He actually stated, “Crooks, criminals, you chill.”
…maybe keep them in jail/prison so this wouldn’t be a worry in the first place.
More from Breitbart:
Earlier in his press briefing, Turner confirmed 53 new coronavirus cases in Houston, bringing the city’s total number to 937. 9 people have died from the illness and 57 recovered.
11 police officers and firefighters have contracted the virus, according to Houston Police Department (HPD) Chief Art Acevedo. As of Sunday, Texas has 2,552 total cases and 34 deaths.
Turner noted the jump in cases is likely due to an increase in testing.
Thankfully our gun manufacturers and retailers are considered essential and will remain open during this crisis. At this point, I dare any criminals to even attempt some nonsense while everyone is already tense.
