Brickbat: First Do No Harm

Rajesh Motibhai Patel, a physician at the Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Decatur, Georgia, has been sentenced to two years in prison followed by 15 years probation after being convicted of violating a patient's constitutional right to bodily integrity while acting under color of law and of abusive sexual contact. Prosecutors said that during a routine medical exam, Patel touched a patient's breasts and genitals without her consent and for no medical reason. Patel will be barred from practicing medicine while he is on probation.

Touching the genitals with no medical reason, you say.
Hmm.
*taking notes*
Someone tell the TSA about this.
Would a man complain of having his breasts fondled?
I'm pretty sure there aren't a lot of borders on the diagram that explains how touching a trans person's genitals violates bodily integrity.
"I am not familiar with your cultural norms, this is wrong?"
Queen Spermy Daniels is SUCH a whiner! Will She make another $130 grand off of this? I want the babes to touch me and then pay MEEEE $130 grand! Where is my sexual equality?
(Maybe I need to change my name to Hooker Hulk Hogan?)
See http://reason.com/blog/2016/03/18/florida-jury-awards-115-million-to-hulk# Florida Jury Awards $115 Million to Hulk Hogan in His Gawker Lawsuit… About Hooker Hulk Hogan… “Hooker Hulk” gets $115 MILLION, v/s “Spermy Daniels” gets only $130 K, for each of them being skanky hos. The MALE skanky ho gets almost THREE odors of magnitude and magshitude more money!!! How is THAT for sexual equality?!
But what gets my bowels in an uproar even more, is that through the courts and policemen enforcing court orders and/or contracts here in these kinds of cases, Government Almighty is the Pimp Daddy and hit-man enforcer of it all! And then they go and jail $50 and $100 poor hookers, to “protect us from trafficking in sex slaves”.
If Government Almighty is going to be the Big Pimp Daddy and hit-man enforcer, for the rich and famous, then could they PLEASE stop being hypocrites, and stop punishing the “little people” for doing the same things!??!
SIDE-BAND SNIDE COMMENT:
As a socio-economic and sexual-political experiment, I think someone should get Hooker Hulk Hogan to fuck Spermy Daniels. Which of the two would owe how much money, to the other?
MAIN COMMENT:
I think I have fingered out WHY does Government Almighty play Big Pimp Daddy to the rich and famous, while punishing the dirt-poor hookers?! When $130 k or $115 million gets thrown around, Government Almighty gets to tax the payment and the lawyers, and grab at least 1/3 of it. Easy-peasy on the big transactions… When a small-time hooker turns a trick “under the table” (a kinky place to do it!), it is MUCH harder to collect! Especially if he or she is paid in smack or crack or Ripple wine…
I am UTTERLY crushed to have fingered out that Government Almighty (which claims to LOVE me and want to PROTECT me from sleazy sex), is actually just wanting to line its own wallet!!!
Where is the brickbat? Man commits crime, goes to jail.
He was a government bureaucrat! Where is your humanity?
Rajesh Motibhai Patel
I assume that's the balding white guy on the right?
Patel touched a patient's breasts and genitals without her consent
I assume that's the crewcut behind the shade without pants on the left?
Seriously, you ridiculous clown world joke - why do you DO things like that?
