Conventions are canceling plans, citing Texas ending its mask mandate | The Texas Tribune (Me: double shot Texas Gov – risk deaths and kill business at same time!!)

At least four organizations canceled conferences or conventions in Austin citing health concerns after Texas ended its statewide mask mandate earlier this month. The cancellations cost the Austin Hilton hotel $350,000 of revenue, according to Austin Convention Enterprises, a city-created corporation that owns and manages the hotel.

“These were rooms that were already on the books and largely, what we saw was fallout, ironically, from the governor opening the economy,” said Joe Bolash, Hilton Austin general manager, during a March 16 Austin Convention Enterprises board meeting. “It was groups that were not comfortable returning to a fully-opened economy where there was no mask mandate in place.”

Gov. Greg Abbott ended the statewide mask mandate and capacity limits on business on March 10, pointing toward fewer COVID-19 hospitalizations and cases in the state. Public health experts and political opponents lamented the move, saying it was too soon before the majority of the state was vaccinated against the virus or even eligible for a shot.

Supreme Court makes it harder for police to shoot people with impunity – Vox

“We hold that the application of physical force to the body of a person with intent to restrain is a seizure,” Chief Justice John Roberts wrote for the majority, “even if the person does not submit and is not subdued.”

Roberts’s opinion was joined by his three liberal colleagues, plus Justice Brett Kavanaugh.

Man arrested outside hospital with body armor, explosive and firearms | TheHill

Police in Lexington, Ky., on Thursday arrested a man outside of the University of Kentucky’s Chandler Hospital after being tipped off by nearby authorities that a possibly armed and dangerous man was coming to the premises.

NBC News and local news affiliate WKYT reported that a man identified as Bryan Carroll was arrested at the hospital without incident; police told reporters that he had multiple weapons and body armor on his person, and they found “suspected explosive devices” in his vehicle.

“He will be charged with multiple state charges as well as pending federal charges,” said University of Kentucky Police Chief Joe Monroe, according to NBC.
