Don't Bruise The Hand That Heals

Yes, Shelob, I'll do that. [pause, opens Word, types and edits following]

It's come to my attention that various people are harassing and even assaulting medical personnel because they feel angry about wearing masks and getting vaccinated. It's a REALLY stupid thing that they're doing, but understandable that stupid, suggestible people so messed up by all those manipulators out there would do that next stupid thing.

I do NOT believe that the stupid people committing these crimes should be punished to the fullest extent of the law. I DO believe they should:

1. Serve the minimum sentence for their crimes if they cooperate fully, including turning themselves in before they are caught.

2. Submit to extensive therapy aimed to teach them how to think for themselves better and talk to smarter people when they need to.

3. Testify against each and every influence they had that pointed them in the criminal direction they took.

The charges would be whatever suitable version of "Reckless Endangerment Of The Public At Large" or "Incitement To Riot" or "Malicious Mischief" that fit the level of incitement. 

It IS my understanding that "Deliberate Wounding Of A Public Health Professional" is punishable as a separate charge of 5 - 30 years. Thank you to Shelob, for your preliminary law research.

DON'T BRUISE THE HAND THAT HEALS. Your hand might need healing soon too. Remember, we're in this together, and your family and friends might ALSO need one more healer.
