Comeuppance at a Cost

Throughout this Covid pandemic multiple individuals had a feeling of power and some abused it. All along I wondered if some of these overbearing individuals would eventually receive a comeuppance for their haughty behavior. Hopefully the arrogant school board members will be the first. But this feeling of power was not limited to school board members, and in many situations, those in authority overstepped. Hopefully those individuals who were overwhelmed by their own feeling of power will receive a comeuppance at a cost … a cost to themselves and to those entities that supported them.

It would be nice if the following situation was just the first of many.

On 5/1/21 Mr. Chad Hummel was arrested and charged with criminal trespassing for refusing to wear a mask at his son’s outdoor baseball game.

From Blazemedia:

“The Trespass charge arose from an incident where Hummel was standing alone in a field, hundreds of feet from anyone, maskless, when he was approached by security guard employed by the Irondequoit Chief of Police, Alan Laird‘s private security company in Town,” the statement recounted. “The plain–clothes guard ordered Hummel to leave his son‘s baseball game despite the Executive Order at the time that did not require outdoor masking. There was even a sign on the Stadium entrance that stated masks were optional when 6 feet apart. Mr. Hummel stood his ground and the police arrived, handcuffed him and took him to jail.”

“Days after the arrest, the school district sent a letter signed by Superintendent Mary Grow to Hummel informing him that he was “prohibited from entering or remaining anywhere on East Irondequoit Central School District property or attending school district events from May 3, 2021 until June 30, 2021.

The ban period extended past the date of his son’s graduation ceremony, which he could not attend.

Last week he was acquitted of criminal trespassing charges after a four-hour bench trial before Judge Joseph J. Valentino, the Daily Wire reports.

Now that he has been cleared of all charges, he  plans to sue the school district.

In previous statements to the Daily Wire, Hummel had demanded a public apology from the school district and the resignations of several officials, including the superintendent. But it appears he’s changed his mind since being acquitted of the criminal charges.”

Go for it, Chad! Sue their ass off. All of them! Sue the superintendent; Sue the school district; and finally sue the Irondequoit Police Department for false arrest.

Hopefully this will be just the first in a series of stories about well deserved comeuppances.
