Criminal charges?

The DA was talking about bringing criminal charges against this guy if he survived for 'knowingly brining a harmful disease into the country'..actually I'm paraphrasing it...but welcome to North Texas.

I had forgotten hearing about that, thanks. Sure they won't go after the surviving members of the familynhe was staying with, especially after the $100+k it cost to clean the apartment?

This was a very carefully laid out and executed plan to get him here on short notice.  The most likely helped a lot, so should share the cost.

And I bet he had no insurance, so that bill is likely to be just hanging there....

Just some stupidity that people had to discuss in order to make it look like Ebola reached America by some sort of criminality.

I thought the prosecution was going to be done in the Country he left. Supposedly because he lied about his health in order to get on a plane.

It wasn't a given it was going to be done here, but I saw an interview of the DA in Texas earlier this afternoon who appeared, to me anyway, to be considering it.

Uh....he did.  He lied on the forms Liberia requires - a criminal offense there.  Kinda like....by definition.


This was actually a very well executed, intentional plan to get here since he knew he was seriously exposed.  He no doubt had heard how the two brought to Atlanta were cured.  And he had a landing place here - family in Dallas.  He did what ANY rational person with the means to make it happen would do.  Came here to take his best shot at getting better care.  Nobody would do any different, regardless of whether criminal act or not.

Well now just one day later. Jesse Jackson is in town stirring the pot. He appeared at the side of Mr Duncan's fiance and is calling for a full review of his treatment. Because the other five (white) patients treated here have either been cured. Or are being treated better than Mr Duncan.

And the family is looking at suing the hospital because he received “unfair” treatment.  SRSLY?
