A member of the Proud Boys charged with pepper spraying a line of police officers at the Capitol is urging a federal appeals court panel to free him from pretrial detention, citing a Covid-19 diagnosis he received while being held in a Washington, D.C., jail.

Christopher Worrell is particularly vulnerable to Covid, his lawyer Allen Orenberg said, because he's also in the midst of treating non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and has a compromised immune system. Worrell had previously sought relief from U.S. District Court, citing symptoms that had emerged as a result of his lymphoma, saying that he had been unable to access his cancer medication while in the D.C. lockup.

...

Howell questioned Worrell's assertions that he had been unable to access his cancer medication while in jail, attributing it instead to his doctor's actions, and she noted that Worrell joined the Capitol mob maskless and without apparent concern for his health. Health concerns aside, Howell said, Worrell's alleged attack on police with a chemical spray, as well as his other conduct on Jan. 6, justify his continued detention. She also ordered him detained in part because of an apparent threat he made to a witness while FBI agents were taking him into custody.

1. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes...

I hope he gets all appropriate medical care for every condition which afflicts him, but beyond that I'm totally unmoved by his situation which is largely of his own making.

12. Right on RR

He f***ing grew it, he can f***ing chew it.

He and a bunch of other fellow seditionists are gonna learn that their actions have consequences...................
Couldn't happen to a better group of traitors.......

At any other time in history past, catching Covid would be a big nothing burger compared to a Death Sentence for Treason......

I'm in hopes he contracted it from numerous other criminals repeatedly, if you know what I mean....................

11. Anyone that sick shouldn't be playing w pepper spray.

Matter of fact, sounds like he’s so sick he needed to stay home and in bed instead.

You have to admire the depth of stupidity many of these people are able to reach.
