I'm not mourning the guy. He purposely put a whole bunch of people at risk, including several children. What he did was downright evil.

This. Good riddens.

:iagree:
He took an ebola patient to a Liberian hospital, and when that hospital wouldn't take the erstwhile patient, he took her home where she later died. He had to know how serious it was, and found out first hand his chances of getting treated for it in Liberia weren't good.
So he flew to Brussels, Belgium, and then on to the US, where he knew US law would require him to get treated for free (read: the taxpayers pay).

Didn't they go to 4 hospitals and all 4 of them turned them away? 2 people died that he was in contact with.

Hadn't heard that. I got my info from Reuters:
Dallas Ebola patient vomited outside apartment on way to hospital | Reuters (http://www.reuters.com/article/2014/10/01/us-health-ebola-usa-idUSKCN0HP2F720141001)
Not that the MSM gets it wrong or incomplete quite a bit......

Sorry assed POS.
The biggest problem isn't him, though.
The biggest problem is all the people who will come to the US for free treatment, and he showed the world how to do it.

I hadn't thought of it that way, y'all are right.

Maybe having Jesse Jackson take up your cause isn't such a good idea after all. :rofl:

Picture Jesse as Moses, Parting the Red Tape, to allow tens of thousands of broke ass, sick unfortunates, to also come here, get treated for free, and spread the pandemic.

I agree he put thw whole world at risk and should have never left Liberia.
He was supposed to be quoted as wanting to see his son. The son was in Dallas yesterday and was only allowed to skype with his father.
The two people who died were family members of his.
Remember that a hospital over there is not much more than a MASH camp set up from during the Korean war.
If any of the family here in Dallas develop syptoms - we will have a problem, but it can be contained by earlier treatment interventions.

Meanwhile due to ObamaCare my insurance company has cancelled my $120/month policy and offered me one that currently meets the requirements but will only be available to me for just this next several months ($320/month, but no place in this area is in network) or I can just fend for myself on the exchanges. Cheapest exchange policy is over $550/month.
Gee, thanks ObamaCare! You are AWESOME!!!!!

Why not? Media will just turn a blind eye just like every other low life piece of crap Jesse stood up for.
I especially loved the baby mama all over the 6 o'clock news screaming on how the government wasn't taking care of her. I'm sure she'll be Jackson's new best friend and he'll help her file a multi million dollar lawsuit again the city of Dallas because Texas didn't provide her free lobster and a new BMW.

You are a citizen of the world. Now suck it up, stop acting like a baby and break out your wallet.

I did not know she went back to his home and died.

Oh yes. He also got into a cab with a nearly-dead Ebola-ridden person and tried to get the cab driver to take them to a hospital. Something like that. He was responsible for exposing literally dozens of people to the disease, and do so knowingly.

He might be alive if he would have told the doc at his first ER visit that he might have ebola.

It's all over the news here that one of the deputies that had to go to the apartment and round up the family because they were ordered to be Quarantined and refused to obey it, "is not feeling well." With news choppers showing him being taken to the hospital as a precaution in case he has Ebola.
This deputy was in the apartment for 30 minutes, but did not have direct contact with Duncan or his body fluids. So they are just being cautious! But the media is hyping it up showing him being transported to the hospital. Breaking News!
Duncan lied about being exposed to Ebola to come over here.
What did all the terrorist say? Commit jihad against the infidels any and all ways possible...or was he just after free health care because he knew the US could beet this Ebola. Look at the two doctors that were flown here and survived!
If nothing else he was selfish and wanted to live but put everyone in this country in harms way!
I'm sorry but I have very little sympathy for him and his family.

It's going to get worse.
Our current administration (or lack there of) + Ebola = biological terrorist weapon.

The whole planet needs to be quarantined now before it is too late..
All Travel should be banned.. :yesnod:
A little I've 100 years ago we quarantined many new arrivals from Europe at Ellis Island.
To quarantine those from Africa today just doesn't fit in PC America.
