      You dont get charged with assault for being a shitty person. Not even wokism can manage that travesty yet.
      Assault is an attempt to commit a violent injury to another person.
      The doctor would likely be charged with battery as well. Battery is the actual use of violent force against another person. Hurling heavy machinery into someone’s eyes out of anger and causing injury would be battery. Larry even has black eyes to prove it.
      Secondly, she broke the number one rule of doctors: do no harm. Now we are up to malpractice on top of battery.
      She’d get a criminal conviction for something and that would make a civil suit against her a virtual slam dunk. She’d be toast.

    My daddy's parents were sharecroppers . The only sweets the nine children had came from the garden: watermelon and cantaloupe.
    Except on Christmas day, if, after the cotton crop was sold and "furnish" deducted, and enough was left for luxuries, the kids got oranges .

    Aaaw Memories (pun intended). My office was located in the Spanish historical building that faces the direct view (side entrance) of where the crash scene was filmed.
    Weird my bosses last name was also David.

    Curb Your Enthusiasm season 11, episode 4 recap
    Harrelson is the obvious guest star, another potential recruit for a character in Young Larry, but here he’s an uber-woke Academy Award-winning interspecies equality enthusiast who thinks having cream in one’s coffee perpetuates a cycle of terrible violence - a viewpoint that forces a desperate Larry to lie about having a cow named Jessie, whom Woody would like to meet before he leaves town. But where to find a cow? As it turns out, quite by accident.
    The accident involves Larry spilling his coffee on Joe (Marc Menchaca), a surprisingly reasonable Klansman who nonetheless can’t attend his upcoming hate rallies with coffee stains on his robes. Curb is uniquely positioned to mock this kind of thing, it seems. I thought about it, and I couldn’t come up with a single other comedy that could get away with having its protagonist run around doing favors for someone in the KKK. Of course, everyone else, from the Jewish dry cleaner to Susie, thinks Larry is nuts. But he’s adamant about the robes being his responsibility now. The whole thing works because Larry and his neuroses are being ridiculed. The ridiculousness of Joe’s extremism is treated as self-evident. Curb isn’t preaching to us about racism being wrong - it expects us to know that already. In the same way, Woody Harrelson making a ridiculous speech at the Academy Awards is clearly poking fun at all the celebrities who have done so in recent years, without coming down against the ideology.
    “The Watermelon” isn’t about bigotry. It’s about Larry David. Everything being filtered through his perspective lets the show make jokes about modern politics and cultural issues without getting on its soapbox about them. There’s a whole subplot with Larry trying to help Leon get over his shame of eating watermelon in front of white people that ends up being a nice moment of friendship, not to mention proof that Larry is, fundamentally, a decent guy. He wants his friend to feel comfortable doing something he enjoys. It’s the same attitude that allows him to put dry-cleaning responsibilities over moral outrage. For better and worse - often worse - Larry treats everyone the same.
    This is how Larry also manages to ruin Freddy Funkhouser’s relationship with Kaley Cuoco’s ophthalmologist. She carelessly drops a Pirate’s Booty cheese snack and makes a conscious decision not to pick it up, which Larry can’t ignore. When he tells Freddy, he can’t ignore it either. The whole thing’s absurd, but it gives Cuoco an excuse to have arguments with them both, which you can tell is the point. Out of spite she also hurts Larry’s eyes, which leads to him crashing into the back of another Mary Ferguson, which allows for the payoff to the watermelon subplot. For a show built on so many inane encounters, it’s often amazing how cleverly everything gets tied together by the end. And how many times serious actors can say “Pirate’s Booty” with a straight face.
    ...................
    Larry returns to the eye doctor, only for Heidi to yell at him for telling Freddy about her dropping the Pirate’s Booty on the floor. In an angry fit, she pushes the eye equipment into Larry’s face, giving him two black eyes. His impaired vision results in a traffic incident with a Black woman, whose name turns out to be Mary Ferguson - meaning Leon has a new companion to travel with him to Asia. But when Larry brings Mary to his house to meet Leon, she walks in on him eating watermelon with the other Black man from the grocery store earlier. She abruptly leaves, and Larry asks Leon, “Who told you to have a watermelon orgy?” “You did, Larry,” Leon correctly answers.
    The Klansman shows up to the rally in the outfit Susie made for him, only to discover there’s a Star of David embroidered on the back. His fellow Klansmen proceed to beat him up.
    Afterwards, he tracks down Larry at his house and threatens to beat him up. Larry grabs the shofar that the rabbi gave him as a gift and blows it into the sky. The Klansman then runs for the hills, as this week’s punchline puts a nice bow on this episode’s religious themes.

      Larry forgot about the accident and was focused on her being a “Mary Ferguson”.
      Mary was curious as to why Larry was so excited about that, but overlooked that when he offered her the trip to Asia.
      Larry then invited her to his house to meet Leon, so in her head it’s like “cool can’t wait to meet him”. So when she walked into the kitchen and finally saw Leon, she saw he was black and was eating watermelon with another black guy.
      I’m assuming she thought there was racist intent, or some kind of racist thing behind Larry getting all excited to offer her the trip and inviting her to his house to meet Leon.
      Everyone eats watermelon but there is a stereotype of black folks liking watermelon and some racist folks use that to make racist comments or jokes.
