http://www.buzzfeed.com/jinamoore/two-days-after-it-opens-mob-destroys-ebola-center-in-liberia#38oksxm

Quote A mob descended on the center at around 5:30 p.m., chanting, “No Ebola in West Point! No Ebola in West Point!” They stormed the front gate and pushed into the holding center. They stole the few gloves someone had donated this morning, and the chlorine sprayers used to disinfect the bodies of those who die here, all the while hollering that Ebola is a hoax.
They ransacked the protective suits, the goggles, the masks. They destroyed part of Tarplah’s car as he was fleeing the crowd.
Jemimah Kargbo, a health care worker at a clinic next door, said they took mattresses and bedding, utensils and plastic chairs.
“Everybody left with their own thing,” she said. “What are they carrying to their homes? They are carrying their deaths.”


Schit just got real.

Heck of a story there Turbo.  It almost makes one wonder how many cases there really are.   The WHO stated cases are 'vastly' underestimated.  And Guinea not really reporting these days, and then you hear stories like this.   Exactly how many more cases are there?  5 x?  10x?  There is probably not a lot that can be done by way of stopping it in Africa.   I would seal off that chunk of land before this happens in other parts of the world

Reminds me of the crew in Mexico that stole some cobalt and exposed themselves to an impressive amount of radiation breaking the casing open. Stupidity of this magnitude has a way of taking care of things - they probably won't be repeat offenders.

Knowing these idiots, they're probably eating off them.

They also kiss bodies of Ebola victims.

What is the guy in the red shirt pointing at the space suit ppl right at the start of this clip? I'm hoping its a mike or...? ie. hoping not a gun!

I'm 'assuming' not a gun as the 2 suits don't seem to be reacting, other ppl are moving away but they may just be getting away from suits vs. red. Just seems odd
