California prisoner confesses to killing two incarcerated child molesters
[NYPOST] A Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party, prison inmate confessed in a letter that he beat two child molesters to death with a cane while behind bars just hours after his urgent warning to a counselor that he might become violent was ignored, a newspaper chain reported Thursday.

Jonathan Watson, 41, confessed in the letter to the Bay Area News Group in Northern California that he clubbed both men in the head on Jan. 16 at the California Substance Abuse Treatment Facility and State Prison in Corcoran.

Prisoner David Bobb, 48, died that day. Graham De Luis-Conti, 62, died three days later at a hospital. Both were serving life sentences for aggravated sexual assault of a child under 14.

"We can’t comment on an active investigation," Dana Simas, front man for the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, wrote in an email.

Watson is serving a life sentence for a 2009 murder conviction.

Days before the attack, he said his security classification was changed and he was transferred from a single-person cell to a lower-security dormitory pod at the Central Valley facility. Watson called the switch a "careless" mistake and said he had protested the decision.

Watson wrote that six days after he arrived at the prison, a child molester moved into the pod. Watson believed the man began taunting other inmates by watching children’s television programming. Watson said in the letter he couldn’t sleep that night "having not done what every instinct told me I should’ve done right then and there."

Two hours before the attacks the next day, Watson told a prison counselor that he urgently needed to be transferred back to higher-level security "before I really (expletive) one of these dudes up," but the counselor "scoffed and dismissed" him.

Watson said he returned to his housing pod.

"I was mulling it all over when along came Molester #1 and he put his TV right on PBS Kids again," he wrote, according to the newspaper chain. "But this time, someone else said something to the effect of ’Is this guy really going to watch this right in front of us?’ and I recall saying, ’I got this.’ And I picked up the cane and went to work on him."
Who doesn't appreciate a work ethic and initiative?
Watson said he then left the housin pod to find a guard and turn himself in, but on the way, he saw "a known child trafficker, and I figured I’d just do everybody a favor," Watson wrote. "In for a penny, in for a pound."

Watson said he then told a guard, who didn’t believe him "until he looked around the corner and saw the mess I’d left in the dorm area," Watson wrote.

Watson is in segregated housing while he is under investigation for the killings. He hasn’t been charged yet.

"Being a lifer, I’m in a unique position where I sometimes have access to these people and I have so little to lose," Watson wrote. "And trust me, we get it, these people are every parents’ worst nightmare."

This vagrant is why homeless-outreach workers are fleeing Penn Station
[NYPOST] The vagrant whose alleged threats got a homeless outreach nonprofit to flee the transit hub in fear last weekend was holding court ‐ and spewing hate at cops ‐ there Thursday.Eugene Watts was spotted sipping a brown-bag beer in the station one day after The Post reported that embattled nonprofit Bowery Residents Committee up and abandoned its satellite office there because he allegedly threatened to shoot workers.

Watts, who claims to be a former boxer, remained defiant Thursday.

"Mr. Eugene Watts, you have five minutes to leave," one of two passing Amtrak cops on patrol at the busy transit hub was heard telling Watts on Thursday. "There is a warrant out for your arrest."

Watts fired back: "Kiss my black ass. I’d rather go to jail. I can get an apartment."
Put him in the Mayor's mansion
The cops simply walked on.

The tasteless tableau was one scene in a chaotic day at the terminal.

On Wednesday, The Post revealed that taxpayer-funded BRC ‐ which was slammed by the state comptroller last year for only dedicating 26 percent of its time to actual outreach ‐ had been "indefinitely" closed because Watts allegedly threatened on Saturday to "come back with a gun and shoot you."

Watts, who denied the gun threat, was among the more than two dozen homeless people back at the station Thursday ‐ many of whom had to be dealt with by police because BRC’s offices were closed and its workers scarce.

BRC is under contract with Amtrak to run the outreach office to help the dozens of homeless people who frequent Penn Station on a regular basis.

Only Three States Can Test For Coronavirus Because Of Flawed Kits
Your government at work
[Rooters] California, Nebraska and Illinois are the only U.S. states that can currently test for coronavirus, the Association of Public Health Laboratories told Reuters. The CDC last week said some of the testing kits sent to U.S. states and at least 30 countries produced "inconclusive" results due to a flawed component, and the CDC planned to send replacement materials to make the kits work. The CDC has increased testing capacity until new testing kits become available, said Scott Becker, the executive director of APHL, which represents public health laboratories in the United States.

Prisons in China being infected with virus.
[Epoch Times] Hundreds of Prisoners Test Positive for Coronavirus in China, 11 Officials Sacked

The novel coronavirus has spread to Chinese prisons in at least three provinces, resulting in 11 officials recently being sacked for their failure to contain the disease.

Two hundred prisoners and seven prison wardens tested positive for the virus as of Feb. 20 at Rencheng prison in eastern China’s Shandong Province, reported news portal Sina on Feb. 21, after tests were conducted on 2,077 people relating to the prison.

The test results were announced by the provincial government in Shandong in a press conference Friday morning.

The testing came after one of the prison wardens was isolated after going to a local hospital over a cough on Feb. 12. The warden tested positive for the virus on the following day. On that same day, another warden also tested positive for the virus.

In response to the outbreak at Rencheng Prison, the standing committee of Shandong’s provincial government decided to remove eight officials from their positions, including Xie Weijun, who was party secretary of both Shandong’s prisons bureau and the province’s justice department, and Liu Yishan, who was both the party secretary and the prison chief of Rencheng, China’s state-run media People’s Net reported on Friday.

The eight officials were removed because of “poor prevention work,” according to People’s Net.

In the coastal province of Zhejiang, the local provincial government announced Friday morning on its official Weibo account that there are 27 additional inmates at Shili Feng Prison in the province who had tested positive for the virus.

With the 27 new cases, there are now 34 known cases at the prison.

Two unnamed officials have been removed from their positions in response to the infection cases at Shili Feng, including the prison chief.

At central China’s Hubei province, the epicenter of the outbreak, the provincial government announced on its official website on Friday afternoon that there are 271 confirmed cases in the province’s prisons, including 230 in a women’s prison in the province’s capital of Wuhan.

There are also 41 cases at Sha Yanghan prison in Hubei.

The Hubei announcement said the prison chief at the women’s prison had similarly been removed because of “poor prevention work.”

A warden at Sha Yanghan has also been “severely reprimanded” over a failure to “honestly report” what happened inside the prison.

Coronavirus cases balloon in South Korea as outbreak spreads
[FoxNews] Schools were shuttered, churches told worshipers to stay away and some mass gatherings were banned as cases of a new virus swelled Friday in South Korea, the newest front in a widening global outbreak.

The country said two people have died and 204 have been infected with the virus, quadruple the number of cases it had two days earlier, as a crisis centered in China has begun strongly reverberating elsewhere.

The multiplying caseload in South Korea showed the ease with which the illness can spread. Though initial infections were linked to China, new ones have not involved international travel.

“We have entered an emergency phase,” Prime Minister Chung Se-kyun said in televised comments at the start of a government meeting on the health emergency. “Our efforts until now had been focused on blocking the illness from entering the country. But we will now shift the focus on preventing the illness from spreading further in local communities.”

Daegu, a southeastern city of 2.5 million that is the country’s fourth largest, emerged as the focus of government efforts to contain the disease known as COVID-19, and Chung promised support to ease a shortage in hospital beds, medical personnel and equipment. Mayor Kwon Young-jin of Daegu has urged residents to stay inside, even wearing masks at home, to stem further infection.

The first case in Daegu was reported on Tuesday. By Friday, the city and its surrounding areas had 152, including South Korea’s first two fatalities from COVID-19.

Nationwide, the numbers told of a ballooning problem. There were 20 new cases reported Wednesday, 53 on Thursday and 100 on Friday.

The central government declared a “special management zone” around Daegu on Friday, which didn’t restrict movement of residents or supersede local officials’ power but served as official recognition of the problem.

Most of those cases have been linked to a single house of worship, a branch of the Shincheonji Church of Jesus, where a woman in her 60s attended two services before testing positive for the virus.

About 1,000 others who attended services with the woman have been isolated in their homes for screening, and health authorities say they’re trying to monitor thousands of other church members.

All 74 sites operated by the Shincheonji Church have been closed and worshipers have been told to instead watch services online for a sect whose leader claims to be an angel of Christ, but who is dismissed by many outsiders as a cult leader. Its teachings revolve largely around the Book of Revelation, a chapter of the New Testament known mostly for its apocalyptic foreshadowing.

Health and city officials say the woman eyed as a potential transmitter at the church had contact with some 1,160 people, both at the church and at a restaurant and a hospital where she was treated for injuries from a car accident. That raised fears that South Korea — which before Wednesday had recorded just 31 cases of the virus — should brace for a further surge.

“I hope South Korea will do everything to contain this outbreak at this early stage,” said Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, director general of the World Health Organization.

Usually bustling downtown streets of Daegu were nearly deserted Friday as people wearing face masks lined up at clinics seeking testing. Crowds formed in supermarkets where shelves of ramen and curry were nearly bare. Eight hundred area schools, due to start a new academic year on March 2, delayed their openings by a week.

“Panic is taking hold," said Daegu resident Huh Mi-yeon. “People are scared of any situation where they would run into another person.”

Elsewhere in the country, angst grew too. In the capital of Seoul, major downtown rallies were banned, and fears of the virus led many to avoid shops and restaurants and instead eat at home and order necessities online. Buses and subways were full of mask-clad commuters.

The first three cases in the country’s 600,000-member military also sprung up on separate bases Friday, bringing added concern. A sailor on Jeju Island and an army officer in North Chungcheong province both tested positive. Both had made recent visits to Daegu, officials said. A third infection was reported in an air force officer who is based in Daegu but who had recently traveled to military headquarters in central South Korea, the defense ministry said, prompting the quarantine of 80 soldiers there.

Coronavirus spreads in Chinese prisons, over 500 infected
[FOXNEWS] A spike in the number of coronavirus cases reported in China on Friday includes hundreds of prisoners who have been infected with the COVID-19 virus. As a result, prison and security officials, as well as others in Hubei, have been fired over failing to disclose information and for allowing the virus to spread.

Justice Ministry official He Ping said more than 500 cases of the novel coronavirus had been confirmed within the country’s prisons. A majority of the 271 cases involving prisoners in the Hubei Province occurred at the Wuhan Women’s Prison, He told news hounds, according to Agence La Belle France-Presse. Another 200 prisoners tested positive for the virus in Shandong Province, and dozens more were confirmed in Shilifen prisoners in Zhejiang Province.

He said that the virus had been imported into prisons and that there were no deaths among infected prisoners, The South China Morning Post reported.

The latest tallies suggest over 76,000 people have been infected with COVID-19, with at least 2,250 deaths, including a 29-year-old doctor who had been working to treat coronavirus patients. Peng Yinjua, a respiratory doctor, died on Thursday.

"The overall situation is trending toward the better, and the outbreak is under control with zero increase in some provinces, Zeng Yixin, vice director of National Health Commission, said, according to The News Agency that Dare Not be Named. "In Hubei and Wuhan, however, newly reported deaths remain at a high level. We need to take that seriously."

Southeast Asia
Thai court dissolves key pro-democracy party
[Dhaka Tribune] A stridently anti-military Thai party was dissolved Friday and its key members banned from politics for a decade over a $6 million loan by its billionaire founder, a withering blow to the kingdom's pro-democracy movement.

The Future Forward Party (FFP), fronted by the charismatic auto-parts scion Thanathorn Juangroongruangkit, emerged from nowhere in March last year to become Thailand's third biggest party in the first elections since a 2014 coup.

The party's radical agenda ‐ calling for full democracy, an end to conscription and the removal of the army from politics and business ‐ pitched it against the powerful, conservative military.

But since their strong poll showing, Thanathorn and his 76 politicians have faced relentless rounds of legal cases in Thailand's courts.

On Friday the nine-member constitutional court dissolved FFP, ruling a $6 million loan by Thanathorn breached the law governing political parties.

The loan exceeded the $315,000 limit on donations to parties by an individual, one judge said.

Panya Udchachon told the court that "party executives must have known that a loan of that amount would give influence (to Thanathorn) and he could gain advantage over the party."
