    This will end up in a commercial.

    Orange piece of shit either needs to see NYC hospitals up close or shut his dumbass mouth. Neither will happen.

    Not the only place they're letting inmates go

    Letting inmates out of jail because of the coronavirus is ‘foolish’, official says

    Neutral Corner, 3_Octave_Fart, Slacker, PCLoadLetter, Azrael -- many thanks. There was some definite disgruntlement on the other side of the Pacific, but we've agreed on a Skype call this weekend. It's just as well as I'm starting to feel sick myself. No fever as of yet, but I'm going to get to our university medical center before things get worse.

    I'm hoping the Postal Inspectors are going to want to throw the book at the guy. I didn't get a chance to ask mom what the inspectors are planning to do. I'll try to find that out. She officially pressed charges so hopefully in a few months this will be worked out. Probably not the dungeon with bread and water that I want but something.

    I know the guy was going to be out by that night or even the next morning but was hoping he could sit in a cell trying to figure out how to make punching a 60-year-old woman sound tough. Then there's trying to talk tough to whoever bailed him out.

    In all seriousness, I'll bug my mom to keep on it. She is someone who can make a scene.

    Hang in there. I'm so sorry you can't be there for him. This whole Covid thing sucks really hard.

    Be well. I hope it's nothing.

    The threat of a federal charge should have this guy pissing down his leg. Of course, if you're dumb enough to punch someone over a piece of mail (or a motorhome, ahem), you never know.

    Here's the quick document from the DOJ: 1570. Assaults On Postal Employees -- 18 U.S.C. 1114

    And yeah, I get the instant revenge. But his trouble could be just beginning. Let's just say I've been there, done (the time).

    Take care of yourself. Things will be hard enough without you getting caught in between two countries who don't want to allow someone sick to enter. I think you are making the intelligent decision.

    From what I have heard, postal inspectors don't screw around. I suspect he'll get his.

    They'd have to deflate one of the Goodyear blimps to make a gown that fits him.

    Hopefully, it's nothing serious. Be safe.

    Thanks for that. I'm guessing they'll defer to Sacramento County but it is nice to know this guy's lawyer will have to tell the him he could be facing federal prosecution.
