A Connecticut man has been charged after police say he intentionally coughed on staff members at a Waterbury, Conn., hospital.

Waterbury Police Lt. David Silverio tells local station WFSB that officers responded to St. Mary's Hospital around 9:20 Saturday night for a report of a disturbance.

It was later determined that a male party, later identified as 30-year-old Robert Gordon, was not adhering to the hospital's rules and instructions, which had been implemented in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.At one point, Gordon took off his protective mask and intentionally coughed on/towards staff members, informing them that he had tested positive in New York for COVID-19.

Gordon was then placed under arrest and charged with five counts of breach of peace in the first degree. He was eventually released on a written Promise to Appear pending his court appearance, which is expected to take place at a later date.

The Canadains are really bad people:

The Canadians are acting like this all across Canada :

Canadians are notorious for this kind of behaviour:

A Canadian Man...

Why not lethal injection?

If black belts can be charged with use of a deadly weapon, by using their hands or feet in a fight resulting in injury, then should these idiots not be charged with the same?

Notice this is happening more and more? People are stupid!!

Another nut job

Why report actions like this. It only encourages the other deranged folks to copy the behaviour. I know. It’s all about $$ for CTV. It’s a US story.

Charge him with attempted murder.

What’s wrong with these people

Should have just given him a shot never to wake up again and blame it on the virus. Nobody would ever miss him and no funeral just burn the idiot. See pretty simple no courts, no police.

This doesn't make any sense though: If he tested positive, put him in quarantine (hopefully in a nice jail cell) If he was in the hospital for treatment, well, let him wait and THEN take him to jail If he has to stay in the hospital, well, not much else they can do

Must be one of Trump's kids

All across Canada, example of the same behaviour.

Canada just says, “sorry”.

The Canadians:

Canadians are notorious for this kind of behaviour

A Trumper, for sure.

Present day Son of God. He rose again on Easter Sunday ! I hope this opens his eyes to the severity of this pandemic and the resources the medical community now requires. Is this where ppl say thank god instead of the humans that actually physically, really helped?
