The mayor of Austin, Texas, told his constituents on a video call last month to 'stay home' and avoid unnecessary travel. The message was a bid to stem the spread of the novel coronavirus in the city and across Texas, as COVID-19 patients are already overwhelming hospitals. But according to Business Insider, Mayor Steve Adler, a Democrat, neglected to mention where he was when he filmed the public service announcement. In fact, he was speaking from a timeshare in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, to which he'd flown on a private jet shared with eight other family members and guests. The day before the flight, Adler had hosted a wedding for his daughter, with 20 attending. As of Wednesday, more than 13.8 million Americans have tested positive for coronavirus and over 272,400 have died. Texas is the second worst-hit state in the US. It's surpassed 1.25 million cases and 22,100 deaths.
Personal injury attorneys Mark and Patricia McCloskey were photographed aiming firearms at Black Lives Matter protesters this summer from their pristine lawn. Photographer William Greenblatt has since sent a cheeky $1,500 bill to the couple for attempting to profit off one of his photos of the incident. According to Gizmodo, the couple apparently was selling Christmas cards with autographed copies of the photo on them. The McCloskeys counterattacked last week with an upwards-of-$100,000 lawsuit for alleged trespassing, invasion of privacy, and emotional distress. They went after not only Greenblatt, but news outlet UPI, and even print-your-own merchandise company, Redbubble. For each count, the couple asks for over $25,000 in damages. Authorities indicted the McCloskeys last month with a felony charge of unlawful use of a weapon, and a misdemeanor charge of tampering with a weapon.
