If you say something isn't a rights issue, and has nothing to do with rights, then you are indeed saying that it isn't an infringement of his rights.
No, I'm not saying it's not an infringement of rights. I'm saying it's such a small infringement, it's not even worth noting. Nobody has the right to touch you but if someone bumps into you on a crowded street, are you going to call the cops? Jay Walking is against the law, but if someone does it, should they call out the SWAT teams?

Are familiar with the phrase "to throw the book at someone", I extended it, I did not imply they should be beaten, please stop using a straw man. Ditto for the water baloon.
The water baloon example is by no means a straw man. It's a concrete and clear example of what we're talking about here. Someone making a big deal out of NOTHING. As far as the "throw the book at them" thing, you can blame your own poor writing skills.

The line between a prank and malice is a dangerously thin one, if someone TPd your house you might think it`s a harmless prank but if they drop a molotov on your lawn you might think differently, if you don`t teach people to respect the rights and property of others from the start, they only get worse until they get pulled up.
And in this case it wasn't even as bad as the TP let alone the molotov cocktail. It was the no worse than taping a "kick me" sign on someone's back.

If you can`t understand that you do not hae the right to lay your hands on another person you deserved to be pulled up on it fast and hard.
If you can't understand the difference between violent crime and completely harmless and funny prank such as taping your teacher to a chair, you have no common sense or understanding of the word "justice". You're beyond stupid.

One year they left the guy for a couple of hours and he had a chest problem, he came close to dieing, yea, great fucking joke that was.
Someone should have called the whaa-mbulance!
