How is there no coverage for this? I found one other article that stated the victim 'didn't seek medical care' but nothing on her name. 0 information on the perpetrator beyond it was a GEO employee. Like they have to know who did this, why is there nothing on charges?

I read in another thread that it was a prison employee

the victim ‘didn’t seek medical care’

What sort of argument is this supposed to be from the journalist who wrote it? That socialized healthcare is really non-existent and for-profit healthcare prohibitively (literally) expensive?

Also, it appears to be not true: the above article states that "The protester was transported to University Hospital and treated for non-life-threatening injuries, according to Newark Public Safety Director Emanuel Miranda."
