Militant Proud Boy Less Proud: Calls Newsmax from Jail to Whine About Wanting to Go Home
BY JASON MICIAK
AUGUST 25, 2021
Jail changes people. Prison really changes people. At least, that is the idea. Some people dont want to change, some dont really feel the need to change. They usually have a bit more trouble.
Christopher Worrell is a serious Proud Boys member who remains in pretrial detention for one reason. He is dangerous. He allegedly pepper-sprayed a law enforcement officer. Try that in your hometown and see if you are released. However, Worrell also has non-Hodgkins lymphoma, in a phone call with Newsmax host Greg Kelly in a phone call from jail, Worrell said that he was told he would receive treatment and he has had none.
If his assertion is true (and there are reasons to doubt the truth), and a medical doctor pours over the records and finds that Worrells assertion is true, then the judge needs to haul the Sheriff (who oversees the jail) into court to explain why Worrell is not getting treatment. The judge may rightly find that if the Sheriff cannot guarantee treatment for cancer, then the judge is forced to allow limited visitations to his doctors and clinics for treatment, which will take a big bite out of the Sheriffs budget and perhaps expose the Sheriff to a few more serious problems. Or the judge will be forced to release Worrell to home confinement and medical treatment, another problem.
But Worrells biggest problem is that he didnt start his interview with Kelly by complaining about his medical condition, which is what 99% of us would do. No, the man accused of pepper-spraying a law enforcement officer insists he is innocent.
