Man charged after New Jersey police break up alleged 'Corona Party' with 47 people

[left-of-center2012]

Law enforcement in Ewing Township, N.J., reportedly broke up a party Friday night with 47 people in a small apartment, despite recommendations from health officials amid the coronavirus pandemic.

The department confirmed it received an anonymous call about the alleged party Friday evening. Officers immediately dispersed the gathering that "the renter of the apartment called a 'Corona Party,'" according to a Saturday statement. The apartment renter, Wade Jackson, 47, was issued summonses for allegedly obstructing the administration of law or other governmental function and violating emergency and temporary acts, according to the statement.

New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy (D) released an executive order earlier this month banning “gatherings of individuals, such as parties, celebrations, or other social events.”

Murphy tweeted Saturday, “Can’t believe I have to say this at all, let alone for the second time. But here we are. NO CORONA PARTIES. They’re illegal, dangerous, and stupid. We will crash your party. You will pay a big fine. And we will name & shame you until EVERYONE gets this message into their heads.”

2. They might be punished in another, more serious way.

Nobody should ever forget that Nature bats last.

5. Make it a low grade felony,

Lock him up a week,
Then probation until November 4, 2020 until 1:01am.

We can call it SOFT - voter disenfranchisement - -then the idiot stupid fucker can't vote for trDumpie.

He will miss the chance to place his ballot by one day - because his felony had not yet fully cleared.

3. I really like Gov. Murphy

I don’t live in NJ, but it’s just across the bridge. I think the viruses can easily cross the Delaware River.

4. "we will name & shame you until EVERYONE gets this message into their heads."

Trump and his slavish followers seem to hate shame above all things.

We should see the guy on all news.

6. They have no shame
