'You now have coronavirus,' man tells boy at Treasure Island restaurant, police say

12. Thanks!

That's what I am referring to.

There is little to no concern for public mental health and we leave it all to police if someone snaps or reacts inappropriately.

I think that was part of the thrust to "defund" the police, which meant to put more funds into a multi-faceted approach to community problems, not just allow for a punitive response to feed the prison system. Our prisons are the last resort and double as psych wards which reveals a system based on force and control, which is not how some other advanced countries treat their citizens.

It is a matter of having someone to turn to when the mindset turns bad. Studies show that 1 in 4 people have no close confidant to even talk to or be with in America now. That's a form of social isolation that only contributes to this and we all pay for it in some way. Prevention would be the sane and rational approach when possible.

Yeah, I know, dream on.
