'Paranoid about the pandemic': How COVID-19 brought the 'largest criminology experiment in history
A strange article about some people who are locked down and isolated have a break with reality and commit spectacular crimes. Duh. I have posted several threads and posts about the dangers associated with the lockdowns and how they exceed the benefits- at least after the inital phase to flatten the curve.
Read the rest of the article at the link.If there were one specific crime to define the current phase of the pandemic, it could be the allegations against Adam Zaborowski.
After the 35-year-old man walked into a cigar store in Bethlehem Township, Pa., he flew into a rage when staff asked him to put on a mask. Instead, he grabbed two cigars and left without paying. A clerk followed him outside, where Zaborowski shot at him. When police tracked Zaborowski down, he grabbed an assault rifle, police said. After a shootout with seven officers, Zaborowski was airlifted to hospital and charged.
His lawyer, John Waldron, explained that Zaborowski was “just not handling the pandemic well.”
Another crazy thing in a crazy, crazy time.
Is it only that? Or, are there real, tangible links between crime and COVID-19?
Canada has seen its own iterations of apparent pandemic paranoia or stress linked to spectacular crimes.
