[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you pulled out a can of pepper spray or mace and tried to use it on these kids, I’m betting it would wind up getting stuffed up your butt. After you got the beatdown of your life.

Escalating the level of violence against children who are essentially just playing around is only going to get you hurt or killed. They are being violent, so why introduce violence into the equation?  [/quote]

They are not playing, they are assaulting people. [/quote]

Ummmm, no.

What YOU consider “assault” , and what they would likely consider assault are probably two very different things. I’d imagine your threshold is probably a lot lower than theirs.  You probably think common trash-talking or making outlandish, boastful threats is an assault. Their reality is that a REAL assault is something that puts you in a hospital. And less than that is just goofing around. And kids goof around. If those kids really wanted to hurt you, do you really think they wouldn’t be capable of doing more to harm you than making boasts and maybe invading your personal space? If they wanted to hurt you, they’d HURT you.  But they don’t. Because they’re just playing.

Toughen up and grow some thicker skin, snowflakes. [/quote]

You must be one of the teens on the metro. No, an assault is any time you touch me. These kids are not playing, they are criminals and they should be arrested. Where are metro police? [/quote]

No, sorry, you’re quite wrong. An assault is not merely touching you. Perhaps maybe by the most hair-splitting technical definition, but in the real world, no.

No jury in DC is going to convict a kid of assault simply for touching you. No cop is gong to arrest a child just for putting their hands on you. No prosecutor is going file those charges simply because you were scared of kids. It’s not going to happen, snowflake.The only way those kids are going to get charged with anything at all is if you have to carried off the train on a stretcher.

Grow up. Stop being afraid of children. If you’re that terrified of them, give them some money and they’ll leave you alone. [/quote]

NP. Let me put it a different way. Your rights end at the tip of your nose. The moment you invade another person's space and touch their body without permission, that individual can file assault charges. [/quote]
