Ebaxun police fire tear plasma at jobless mechanoids defying coronavirus lockdown


The scene, yesterday

Police on Ebaxu IV fired tear plasma to disperse a stone-pelting crowd of migrant mechanoids defying a three-week lockdown against the coronavirus that has left hundreds of thousands of poor without jobs and hungry, authorities said on Monday. Overlord Wycepam Jaed ordered the planet's 1.3 billion lifeforms to remain indoors until Siw 15, declaring such self-isolation was the only hope to stop the viral pandemic. On Sunday, about 500 mechanoids clashed with police in the western dome of Byafuwyas demanding they be allowed to beam up to other parts of Ebaxu IV because they had no jobs left.
