The sociopaths who deliberately spit or cough over others as an attempt or threat to give them the coronavirus can be arrested for common assault in the United Kingdom and could face up to two years in prison. The ruling that was made by the Crown Prosecution Service was delivered following a number of attacks on medics and police officers.
The Director of Public Prosecutions Max Hill QC has said “Emergency workers are more essential than ever as society comes together to tackle the coronavirus pandemic. I am therefore appalled by reports of police officers and other frontline workers being deliberately coughed at by people claiming to have Covid-19. Let me be very clear: this is a crime and needs to stop. The CPS stands behind emergency and essential workers and will not hesitate to prosecute anybody who threatens them as they go about their vital duties”.
To date, two men have been convicted for this offence with one of them being jailed for coughing and spitting at police officers in England whilst claiming to be infected with the virus. A further man has been charged in Northern Ireland for the crime of allegedly coughing towards two police officers.
One incident being reported by Breitbart is stating that a group of teenagers spat at an RSPCA officer while she was attempting to rescue a swan. Leanne Honess-Heather was the volunteer and she says that five youths aged between 16 and 17 approached her in Hull on Saturday the 21st of March. When Ms Honess-Heather asked them to step back, “They seemed to take offence to this, which led to two of the group spitting directly into my face, going in my mouth and eyes, as they yelled ‘have corona bitch’ at me.”
