Florida governor proposes felony charges for violent protesters
The legislation also aims to hold back state money for municipalities that want to defund the police.
The state of Florida is cracking down on people who engage in violence and vandalism during demonstrations.
Gov. Ron DeSantis announced new legislation on Monday (Sept. 21) that calls for mandatory jail time for those who physically assault law enforcement officers, and felony-level penalties for anyone who causes injury or destroys public property during a protest.
The bill also prevents violent agitators accused of crimes from gaining employment in the state or receive state benefits, according to Politico. Additionally, it would be a misdemeanor to harass patrons at restaurants during a demonstration.
“You see these videos of these innocent people eating dinner and you have these crazed lunatics just screaming at them and intimidating them,” DeSantis said. “You’re not going to do that in the state of Florida.”

DeSantis said individuals who lay hands on cops during a protest will be jailed for a mandatory minimum of six months.
“We’re not going to go down the road that other places have gone. If you do it, and you know that a ton of bricks will rain down on you, then I think people will think twice about engaging in this type of conduct,” he said.
The bill is being hailed by conservatives for its support for law enforcement.
“This is a very robust package,” the governor said. “I think what it is saying is we’re not going to let Florida go down the road where some of these places have gone.”
Democratic leaders, meanwhile, call the bill a desperate stunt to help Trump’s re-election bid.
“The governor is attaching himself to Donald Trump’s propaganda and manufacturing a non-existent law and order crisis in Florida,” said Senate Democratic Leader Audrey Gibson. “It’s political fearmongering to bolster a president’s re-election bid.”

Kelly Benjamin, a Tampa activist and co-founder of Tampa for Justice also questions the governor’s motives.
“The right to peaceably assemble is enshrined in the U.S. Constitution. This is an attempt to chill legitimate dissent and somehow equate protests against police killing Black people with criminal activity despite the clear evidence that the protests occurring in Florida are overwhelmingly peaceful,” said Benjamin.
The legislation also aims to hold back state money for municipalities that want to defund the police.
“We need to do more in terms of a strong legislative response so we do not always have to play whack-a-mole any time you have situations like this develop,” DeSantis said.

Single plane passenger gave COVID-19 to 15 others: CDC
‘Seating proximity was strongly associated with increased infection risk,’ wrote the researchers.
A 27-year-old businesswoman aboard an international flight infected 15 others with COVID-19 earlier this year.
According to a new study from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the unnamed Vietnamese passenger was suffering from a sore throat and cough when she boarded a flight from London to Hanoi, Vietnam. She tested COVID positive four days later, NBC News reports.
Researchers used contact-tracing to determine that the woman passed on the potentially deadly contagion to others onboard the March 1 flight. Out of the 217 passengers, twelve in business class and two in economy, as well as a crew member, were infected, the study says.

Health officials said at the time of the flight that passengers and crew members were not required to wear masks in airplanes or at airports. Thermal imaging was used to screen travellers from high-risk COVID-19-infected areas, including the U.K. The CDC study does mention whether the woman’s symptoms were flagged during the screening process prior to boarding.
. “Seating proximity was strongly associated with increased infection risk,” wrote the researchers, Forbes reports.
“The risk for on-board transmission of SARS-CoV-2 during long flights is real and has the potential to cause COVID-19 clusters of substantial size, even in business class–like settings with spacious seating arrangements well beyond the established distance used to define close contact on airplanes,” the researchers noted. “As long as COVID-19 presents a global pandemic threat in the absence of a good point-of-care test, better on-board infection prevention measures and arrival screening procedures are needed to make flying safe.”
The Washington Post reports nearly 11,000 people have been exposed to the coronavirus on flights. Meanwhile, there are reportedly 215 COVID-infected TSA employees.
The CDC’s official guidance warns: “Air travel requires spending time in security lines and airport terminals, which can bring you in close contact with other people and frequently touched surfaces. Most viruses and other germs do not spread easily on flights because of how air circulates and is filtered on airplanes. However, social distancing is difficult on crowded flights, and you may have to sit near others (within six feet), sometimes for hours. This may increase your risk for exposure to the virus that causes COVID-19.”

Bobby Shmurda denied parole after nearly 6 years in prison
The rapper has been serving time since Dec. 2014, after being convicted on charges of conspiracy to murder and reckless endangerment.
Brooklyn rapper Bobby Shmurda (real name Ackquille Pollard) has been denied parole and will remain in jail until the end of 2021.
Shmurda has been serving time since Dec. 2014, after being convicted on charges of conspiracy to murder, weapons possession and reckless endangerment, Billboard reports. In Sept. 2016, he accepted a plea deal and was sentenced to seven years in prison. It was later reduced to five years after he received credit for the two years he was jailed while awaiting trial.
“Following his Sept. 15, 2020, interview with the Board of Parole, Ackquille Pollard was denied release and given a hold until the maximum expiration of his sentence on December 11, 2021,” a spokesperson from the New York State Department of Corrections and Community Supervision tells Complex.

theGRIO previously reported, Shmurda was taken into custody a week before Christmas in 2014, after leaving a recording studio near Radio City Music Hall in midtown Manhattan. His arrest followed a two-year investigation by the NYPD into a series of gang-related shootings and drug trafficking in the city. Pollard along with eleven other people, including his fellow GS9 crew member Chad Marshall, aka Rowdy Rebel, were said to be linked to the crimes.
Marshall was arrested inside the recording studio where police also recovered handguns, authorities said. According to Complex, the rapper is serving time at the Collins Correctional Facility. His release date is in mid-December.
“On August 11, 2020, the Board of Parole granted Chad Marshall an open date of release of December 15, 2020,” a DOCCS spokesperson confirmed with the outlet.
Shmurda is best known for the hit single “Hot N—a” and for a music video that popularized the “Shmoney dance.”
His parole hearing was originally set for mid August, but was delayed one month amid the COVID-19 pandemic. No reason has been given as to why parole was denied.
Shmurda is expected to remain in prison until the end of his sentence, which is December 11, 2021.

Mom and son, 2, removed from flight when toddler refuses to wear mask
American Airlines has stated that a mask policy is the reason why the mom and her son were removed from the flight
A mother was left frustrated and disappointed after American Airlines kicked her and her baby off of a flight when the 2-year-old refused to wear a mask.

Rachel Starr Davis took to Instagram last week to post a photo of herself and the sleeping toddler that detailed her experience.
“I’m at a complete loss of words. The eyes of a mama-bear who just bawled her eyes out as she was forced off an airplane because her 2 year old wouldn’t keep his mask on. I tried repeatedly, begged him, bribed him, pleaded with him, did everything I could while he was screaming and crying as I tried to hold him and put the mask on, feeling my absolute lowest of lows as a mother. Before I even sat in my seat, flight attendant Terry on American Airlines flight 5595 from Charlotte, NC to Manchester, NH on September 17th, approached me and asked how old my son is, and demanded according to their policy he wear a mask,” she wrote.
She continued, “I told her this is our fourth American Airlines flight this week, and he has never been asked to wear a mask. She informed me he (my overtired two year old son) would need to comply with their company policy or we would be asked to leave the aircraft. “
A spokesperson for American Airlines released a statement to the Portsmouth Herald.
“Policies are enforced and approved face coverings are made available at key points throughout the customer journey,” said American Airlines spokeswoman Gianna Urgo. “We’ve reached out to the family to learn more about their recent travel experience and to address their concerns.”
American Airlines did reach out to Davis who wants a formal apology, the Portsmouth Herald reported.
Major airlines do require children two and up to wear face coverings but parents are fighting back and say it’s an unreasonable request from a child so young. In August, a mother of six asked to de-board a plane because her 2-year-old refused to comply and wear a mask. Just a few days ago a Chicago mom was kicked off her Southwest flight because her 2-year-old wouldn’t wear a mask.

But parents are now fighting back. Moms are creating Change.org petitions asking that the Center for Disease Control change its regulations for kids and face coverings. A mother with two twins who have autism created a petition asking that children with developmental disabilities also be exempt from wearing masks. Her petition has close to 14,000 signatures.
But when passengers on Davis’ flight rallied to show solidarity for her, they were reprimanded. All of the passengers were ordered to deplane do to Davis’ child refusing to wear a mask. Taylor Cournoyer told ABC News the actions of the airline was wrong.
“It was very cold and cruel,” said Cournoyer. “This wasn’t an issue of a grown adult not complying out of spite because they don’t agree with masks — this was a child. And it was not a bad, irresponsible mom either — she was crying and trying to keep the mask on and asking the flight attendants for help and advice on what to do.”
Once Davis and her children were off, passengers re-boarded the plane and expressed to the staff they were being unreasonable.
“I hate to talk like this but once we get going if there are any problems, if you guys give them any problems at all about the decisions that I have made we will turn the flight around and we will come back,” the pilot is alleged to have said.
Davis was able to board another flight on Thursday. She also created a Change.org petition according to ABC News and is hoping for a policy change.
She told the outlet, ”I don’t want any other mother to feel this way.”
