Remember this guy? Walmart-licker charged with ‘Terrorist-Threat’.
A Warrenton man was charged with making a terrorist threat after he filmed himself licking bunch of items at Walmart.
“Who’s afraid of the coronavirus?” he taunted in a video which he later posted to social media. If you haven’t seen the video before, it was re-uploaded on reddit:
He needs to be punished for this. from r/PublicFreakout
Name and shame:
Cody Pfister, 26
Warrenton, Missouri
Pfister was taken into custody this week, and Warren County prosecutors charged him today. The charge is a low-level felony.
Bizarrely, he’s not the first person to get in trouble with police for licking surfaces as public health officials beg people to wash their hands, keep at least six feet apart and avoid touching their faces in hopes of slowing the spread of COVID-19. The manager of a grocery store in Wisconsin called police after a woman licked the door handle to a freezer, reportedly to protest the virus, while a manager was disinfecting the store.
I couldn’t make this stuff up even if I wanted to. Reality is more oniony than theonion.
