The Pandemic has truly brought out a LOT OF IDIOTS. Like idiots who hoard toilet paper and disinfectant and then posting it for sale for over $100 on-line (taking advantage of people in this desperate time) as we have seen locally.
This week's blog highlights TWO Idiots:
1) A woman who was caught on video outside a Florida Dollar Tree store after having bought ALL the napkins, toilet paper and paper towels saying she'll sell them on-line for exorbitant costs (which is ILLEGAL In Maryland) and yelling ""Donald Trump! Go Donald Trump!" and 2) Idiots who steal protective masks from hospitals and first responders, like this idiot in London. Here are the Stories>>>
Coronavirus: London Ambulance contractor 'stole face masks'
BBC NEWS
9 April 2020
A contractor for the London Ambulance Service has been arrested on suspicion of stealing "a large number" of face masks.
The man, in his 20s, was arrested at the Edmonton Ambulance Station on Wednesday morning.
The Met Police alleged the man was trying to sell the face masks and other products online. He has been bailed until a date in mid-April, the Met Police added.
Det Insp Jason Colby said he was "saddened" anyone would "take advantage of the NHS for their financial gain". "These masks are a vital piece of PPE for emergency service personnel and are used to keep both themselves and patients safe," Det Insp Colby added.
"We will continue to crack down on anyone attempting to take advantage of our emergency services for personal gain, especially at such an unprecedented time." Officers were able to recover a number of items during their searches and these have been returned to LAS.

IDIOT #2 Florida Woman Yells, "Go, Donald Trump!" After Buying Out Store's Toilet Paper

Crises can bring out the worst in people — or maybe they just bring out the worst people. That's certainly been the case with the outbreak of the novel coronavirus, which has been illuminating in the same way as flicking on the light switch in a filthy kitchen — you get a glimpse of the roaches before they scatter.

While much of Florida faces shortages of basic goods such as paper towels and toilet paper, there's been no shortage of hucksters and hoarders stockpiling more supplies than one person could ever need. One recent example is a Florida woman who apparently bought every last package of toilet paper, paper towels, and napkins from a Dollar Tree in Pompano Beach. The video, which went viral this weekend, begins with the woman standing on the curb, loading dozens of boxes of paper products into the back of a black truck with the help of a man standing in the truck's bed. A woman filming the incident narrated as the loading continued.
"Look at this wonderful woman who just told me to f— myself and mind my own f-ing business, who just bought the entire store out of paper towels, toilet paper, so that nobody else can have any. It's really lovely," the woman filming says.
