Enforcing Social Distancing

In the postscript to my last post, I noted that some of the orangutan’s fans were ignoring the medically mandated social distancing as a political act. As one who is highly threatened by the Coronavirus, I started thinking about what I could do if one of the Hitler-wannabe’s cult members entered my expanded space and came up with the solution pictured here - a baseball bat.

Anyone that I could possibly hit with a baseball bat is within 6 feet of me - Bats are about three feet long, and my arms are as well, so I cannot reach anyone that is truly six feet away. That means that if I swat someone, they had to be within that 6-foot zone that the medical community says is the minimum safe distance between people. The strike proves the guilt of the struck.

Now whether the courts will accept that this is a reason for self-defense is another matter. As one who is over 60 with diabetes and asthma, I am in the high risk category if I catch the virus, so I consider anyone who comes closer than 6 feet a threat, and their presence there constitutes assault. They are a clear and present danger to me.

Swatting a couple of them with a baseball bat could just knock some sense into their heads - following the bad hair-do with nothing under it that inhabits the White House is obviously not doing them any good.
