Brickbat: Run It Off

A man in the Philippines died after police forced him to do 300 squats for breaching a COVID-19 curfew. Darren Manaog Peñaredondo left his home to buy water. But he was caught by police and forced to perform exercises in punishment. Human Rights Watch says people violating COVID-19 restrictions in the Philippines are being abused, saying that officials locked five young people in a dog cage and have forced people to sit in the midday sun for breaking the rules.

COVID-19 claims another victim.

If you don't want treated like this stay at home, simple.

I am shocked that such a thing could happen in the Philippines of all places, they're normally so strictly observant of human rights and not at all an authoritarian dictatorship.

So this means death is a side effect of government regulations, and we have to "pause" all laws and regulations for a long term study, right?

Beautiful.

Barbarians. In the civilized world we just shoot people for their minor infractions.

If we were truly civilized, we’d use light sabres, not blasters.

Trump and Duterte were such good buds too. Shameful.

Authoritarians gonna authoritarian.

"Did 300 squats on Wednesday, went into convulsions and died on Saturday? Clearly the issue was that he didn't superset with some burpees or medicine ball training." Crossfit FTW.

If you're not doing anything wrong you got nothing to worry about.
