Fundamentally I believe non-consensual violence is the result of suffering. I think isolating violent people and protecting yourself is much better than meting out arbitrary punishments. Consider that someone willing to punch a nurse in the chest over a turkey sandwich very likely has some kind of mental health issues. If the assault is actually a problem on the level of a crime, then call the police.
