The man who passes the sentence should swing the sword.

Great example for his son. Personally a sentence of standing on the side of the road with a large Packard reading "I mock handicap people in front of my son" would be more fitting. What a disgusting excuse for a father.

Maybe we should make him sew a scarlet D on all his shirts to show everyone he's a douchebag, too? Originally Posted by Zigzagzoom

The guy is a douche and all but honestly I'm more angered by the injustice done to him by putting him in jail. He hasn't done any of the things he's charged with, he didn't behave "menacing" under the legal definition nor was it disorderly, it was just, rude and generally not nice. He deserves our scorn, not a prison cell.

He's been publically humiliated, similar to the girl he publically mocked. If people feel nothing but sympathy for him because he was put in jail for it then it was all for nothing. I hope it wasn't. Originally Posted by Rupture91

A videotape of physical violence displays somebody being hit. A videotape of 'verbal violence' displays somebody saying something to somebody, it doesn't tell you if they've been 'hit'. Originally Posted by caractacus

the dude's actions were pretty shitty, and them coming from a 43 year old is just mind boggling. i dont know about jail though... maybe they could slap him about the face with a trout in public or something

What a load of crap. Yeah, the guy was being a prick, but c'mon the ramifications of this on his life could be enormous. A prison sentence looks terrible on your record, he could lose his job over this. Where is the line going to be drawn? People take the piss out of each other and have a laugh at other people's expense all the time, is it against the law now to "be a big meanie"? Absolute joke, the judge who gave the sentence and the woman who thought it'd be a good idea to bring this to court ought to be ashamed of themselves, they've made an example of, and potentially ruined the life of, an innocent man who's guilty of nothing more than being a bit mean which, last I checked, wasn't a crime.

What if I punch someone in a friendly manner? It shows physical violence, clearly, but it doesn't tell you if someone was actually "hit" or not. Originally Posted by Bergtau

Pretty obvious if it's in a friendly manner.. You don't punch your friends full force in the face. Originally Posted by Tzalix

I disagree, freedom of speech does not give you the right to persecute and infringe upon the rights of others. He is welcome to mock the disabled, but it's not acceptable to do so in public. That girl has the right to live in society without fear of being mocked and ostracised. It falls under disorderly conduct and the guy got a judge who clearly felt a sentence was needed, good for him I say. Originally Posted by Laize

That's your risk to take. If you cause somebody harm in a non-subjective manner and they decide to go after you, that sucks for you. Originally Posted by Tzalix

Physical violence can be done to a person without that person having any measurable effect of said physical violence. If I push someone away then that can be considered physical assault, if the circumstances dictate it to be so, but there won't be any physical trauma inflicted to that persons body.

Let's use a hypothetical case; If I flicked someones ear and didn't do it hard enough to do any damage, and they turned around and punched me, could they plead self-defense or say that they didn't initiate the assault if I decided to press assault charges?Last edited by Theodon; 2012-11-30 at 01:50 PM.

Good luck proving the assault and getting anywhere with it. Originally Posted by Theodon
