This Sunday, I will discuss this issue of restorative justice within the context of a deadly pandemic once again, spiraling out of control. Journalist Thom Hartmann, recently called out the "Trumpies and Maskholes" as they gleefully act as the 21st century equivalent of 'Typhoid Mary or Typhoid Mark," with no consideration for the people they hurt and possibly kill. Meanwhile, the GOP is using COVID to tank the dems, again--with no consideration for the ever-growing death toll.
Hartmann mentioned that Germany is going to forcefully restrict anti-vaxxers from the public sphere. He backs up the idea by mentioning the 1905 Supreme Court Case that stated no individual has the right to infect others with a deadly and highly communicable disease. The case of Jacobson v Massachusetts established the right of the government to mandate vaccines and other measures to protect the common good.
Rick Spisak sent us a piece of his erudite writing to enjoy, and then there's the "Jackass of the Week" feature.
Check it out.
