We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

Links to news stories from...
...credible sources, with...
...their original headlines, that...
...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

It's battery, and the fact that she thought it was a reasonable course of action means that she needs to be given a bit more than a slap on the wrist fine.

I know people might say anger management therapy would be better, but these types of people will never admit that they were in the wrong in the first place. They'll twist things into a persecution complex.

Making her walk a mile in their shoes is an exceptionally good way to address this kind of behavior, and it's an alternative to jail time.

But, it's not like she would be given years in prison for it. It's basically like a forced timeout. Hell, even 2 weeks in jail might be enough to change things.
