Jonathan Corman

Jonathan Corman acted as a spokesperson for the U.S. Army after the Roxbury Food Riot in Boston in 2077.

Background
Before the Great War, one of the multitudes of nationwide riots over food shortages took place in the neighborhood of Roxbury. In response to the chronic food shortages, violence broke out between the Army and civilians, resulting in four civilian casualties and injuries to eight others.

The riot began after soldiers of the United States Army's 184th Infantry Regiment opened fire on a group of unarmed civilians after an unknown person smashed the plate glass window of the Roxbury Food Bank, prompting several people in the line outside to storm into the establishment.

Corman, the spokesman for the Army, responded in a statement insisting the troops acted within their authority, stating that they issued several explicit verbal warnings to not break the line and attack the food bank, and that hunger is no excuse for civil disobedience, vandalism or starting a riot that puts the lives in the area at risk. He emphasized that it was the role of the United States Army to maintain order in that difficult time, and taking the time to note specifically that the soldiers of the 184th Infantry Regiment have not had a food ration in two days, and understood their hunger "probably better than anyone."
