A patient accused of fatally beating his 82-year-old hospital roommate with an oxygen tank after the victim began praying has been arrested on suspicion of a hate crime murder, the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department said Wednesday.
The assault took place last Thursday morning at Antelope Valley Hospital in Lancaster, a sheriff’s news release stated. The victim, who was diagnosed with COVID-19, and the suspect — identified as 37-year-old Jesse Martinez — were sharing a two-person room in the hospital and were both receiving treatment, according to the department.
Martinez “became upset when the victim started to pray. He then struck the victim with an oxygen tank,” the release said.
The victim succumbed to his injuries the following morning. He has not been identified. Martinez was arrested on suspicion of murder with a hate crime enhancement, as well as elder abuse. He’s being held on $1 million and is scheduled to appear in court Monday. No further details have been released amid the ongoing investigation.

Arguably 2 Covid-19 deaths from this.

Probably left their blinker on.

His entire extended family is presumed to be positive with Covid and added to the state covid case rate.
Now do you people understand why we have to wear masks at all times except when eating in a restaurant?
Just imagine how bad it would be if every store that didn't contribute millions to congressional lobbying efforts were allowed to be open?
My god.

Why didn't they name the victim?

Yet another uplifting thread by John88.

Thought crimes.

Under the rules Louisiana uses, that is absolutely a Covid death. Oh, and the new DA out there probably won't even prosecute. Good times.

Wtf. That is so extremely fricked up. I'd be filled with so much anger if that was my loved one.

Add him to the count.

When did elder abuse become a thought crime?

Plot twist: the new LA County DA has pledged to eliminate the practice of sentence enhancements.

Friend,
Meanwhile, otherwise healthy 41 year old Representative-elect from Monroe moved to ICU due to covid today. But that would not make the OT or PT's headlines in today's forum climate. Attempts to underplay the severity of this virus are foolhardy.

I worked with a lady once that was upset about a turn in her life. Her tactic to deal with it was while we were in a vehicle to chant to Mary and pull around on a string of beads. I didn't consider beating her up over it but it was a trying experience to listen to her droning on and on. I told her there was no wonder so much bad stuff went on in the world because she kept God tied up tending to her problems.
