Nurses, lauded for virus efforts, find their tires slashed outside hospital (NY)
https://apnews.com/524f788cb9301d70d590f46e3d158c37
CORTLANDT, N.Y. (AP) — Some nurses at a New York hospital who had just been lauded for their work during the coronavirus pandemic ended their stress-filled overnight shifts to find their tires had been slashed while they worked.
New York state police reported that the tires of 22 vehicles were found slashed Friday morning outside New York-Presbyterian Hudson Valley Hospital in Cortlandt.
Daniel R. Hall, 29, was arrested on charges including criminal mischief and possession of a controlled substance. Police said he had a small amount of PCP when he was arrested.
Hall is due in court May 18. It’s not clear whether he has an attorney who can speak for him.
Hospital officials said they would pay for the damage.
“We were shocked to hear of this incident, especially at this time when our employees are working tirelessly and courageously” through the COVID-19 pandemic, the officials said in a statement to the Journal News.
Before the tires were slashed, dozens of police officers and firefighters had gathered outside the hospital Thursday night to applaud the health care workers, who like their colleagues across New York state have been treating patients stricken by the coronavirus, the newspaper reported.

execute that mofo imo.
You sound like you really need a break, I mean "execution" for slicing tires! He needs some drug rehab, and time in jail, not execution.
Maybe you need a break for awhile, it can't be easy staying up all night to get those 100 plus posts per day, all since March 26. 
I think this might be some new record if they get to 2,000 post in less than a month, although I could be wrong.
