You hurt someone intentionally, you should not be breathing free air for a while.
Genuine question; is that only physically? If I like causing people pain and anguish and suffering, and my weapon of choice is words, should I also be incarcerated because I hurt people intentionally? I tend towards not giving people a free pass simply because their weapon of choice is words, but (amongst other things) the US has a reputation for being very permissive with the spoken word.
- bilvar 3y agoPlease don't equate words with physical violence. It's Orwellian and the only purpose it serves is to destabilize society.
- DiggyJohnson 3y agoSticks and stones may break my bones… I think there is a massive difference between physical violence (and property crime) and words. What sort of words are you envisioning here?
- bavell 3y agoAgreed with the sibling comments, physical violence is an entirely different beast than verbal "violence".
- naijaboiler 3y agoOr I'm a greedy or incompe exec taking silly risks and now people are out of a livelihood and are hurting because of my actions
- filoleg 3y ago> If I like causing people pain and anguish and suffering, and my weapon of choice is words, should I also be incarcerated because I hurt people intentionally? No, you shouldn't be incarcerated for that. You would be an asshole if you intentionally caused people anguish with your words, but being an asshole is not a crime (and shouldn't be).
