Lavrentiy Beria, the most ruthless and longest-serving secret police chief in Joseph Stalin’s reign of terror in Russia and Eastern Europe, bragged that he could prove criminal conduct on anyone, even the innocent.
“Show me the man and I’ll show you the crime” was Beria’s infamous boast. He served as deputy premier from 1941 until Stalin’s death in 1953, supervising the expansion of the gulags and other secret detention facilities for political prisoners.

I guess it would have been better to remove the mask and in the middle of licking the envelope have a coughing fit.
Then say, “Excuse me.”

Well, then. Let me ask you this. Suppose that clerk was your daughter. And some guy said the letter that he handed to your daughter had Covid on it. Would you tell your daughter to just laugh it off, and accept the letter?
Look, I’m not calling that Trsoz guy a criminal. Because he’s not. But I am calling him stupid. And being stupid has its consequences.

So you don’t need evidence that he did something endangering?

It’s a tough call. And that’s why I’d just give him a slap on the wrist. A hundred hours of community service should do the trick.
But there’s no getting around the fact that what he said could be perceived as a threat. And a threat does not require that he actually did something. A threat is just that, a threat.
It’s kinda like someone saying (as a joke) “maybe I’ll put a bomb on that plane.” It doesn’t matter if there is an actual bomb. That guy is going to get himself into some serious hot water.

I think 100 hours of community service is excessive.
$25 to $50 fine would be appropriate.

So a conservative makes a joke and is brought up on charges.
A liberal calls for my life and is applauded.
Got it! They are trying so hard to start a shooting war.

But the guy made more than just a bad joke. He made a joke that could be perceived as a threat.
From the original article, it was more of a comment that he could be getting COVID, or giving COVID - which is more stating a reality than any threat.

Except that’s apparently not what happened - but even if it did, it’s like the guy who was charged for peeing in the reservoir with wildlife on the banks and fish living in it. There’s probably COVID on quite a few of the envelopes going through the office.

And I am saying that there was no shortage of "stupid" in the entire exchange and the resultant actions.
Bureaucratic power is the problem here, not a bad joke.
PS. I would be ashamed of my daughter if she behaved like that...or him.
