Shaming works: Mike Pence shamed into wearing mask as Grim Reaper hits the beach
As many states and individuals are eager to return to “normal” after months of
restrictive social distancing measures to help prevent the spread of the
coronavirus, many Americans are seeing efforts to “shame” people into following
CDC guidelines. VP Mike Pence received backlash for not wearing a mask during a
hospital visit, while Yale University backed down and offered its dorms for
housing to nurses treating Covid-19 patients. Jennifer Jacquet, NYU
environmental studies professor and author of "Is Shame Necessary?,” discusses
the keys to “constructive shaming,” using ethics, proportion and strategic
thinking to help curb the virus. Dr. Megan Ranney discusses medical guidance,
public perception and its impact on social norms with MSNBC’s Ari Melber.

Unarmed black jogger gunned down in Georgia, igniting protest
Viewer discretion is advised: Video footage show the last moments of Ahmaud
Arbery, an African American Georgia resident, who was killed in broad daylight
while on an afternoon jog. The video shows two men, who have not been charged,
shooting and killing Arbery after following him in their vehicle. The case,
which has caught the attention of VP Joe Biden, remains stalled as the state’s
District Attorney vowed to bring the evidence to a grand jury, while state
courts are closed until June despite businesses being open for use amid the
pandemic. Former NYPD Detective Marq Claxton joins MSNBC’s Ari Melber to discuss
the evidence. Claxton argues the status of the case, saying “the cover up would
have been quite successful if there had not been some disclosure of this
videotape.” S. Lee Merritt, Esq, civil rights attorney and attorney for the
Arbery family, also joins the discussion.
