Man coughed on supermarket employee and said he had coronavirus accused of terrorism

A man has been accused of exploiting people’s fears by deliberately coughing on a supermarket worker while claiming he had coronavirus.

George Falcone, 50, has been charged with making terroristic threats while in a branch of Wegmans in Manalapan, New Jersey, on Sunday evening.

According to the state’s attorney general Gurbir Grewal, an employee inside the store asked Falcone to move away from prepared foods while she covered them up.

It is alleged that at this point Falcone leaned towards the woman and deliberately coughed on her and laughed, telling her he had coronavirus.

My spider-sense tells me it'd be OK to bet that this is the kind of guy who thinks anyone the government calls "terrorist" should have their human and civil rights eliminated...
