Reply to comment by Royal-Possibility219 in Woman hospitalized after being pranked for TikTok video in Target store by GaryOaksAlcoholism

I'm not justifying, as I've said twice now, yes, everyone agrees people shouldn't mess with other people like this.

We're talking about kids here. A couple kids put a bucket on someone's head as part of some dumb joke. I don't think the pitchforks are really necessary.

Again, you’re saying “people shouldn’t mess with other people” but…… “kids are kids” that’s like someone trying to apologize then going on to say, “but” then go on to try how to say they were in the right somehow and justify their actions.

I'm not justifying their actions. The kids should come forward and they should apologize to the woman. And... that should probably be about it. The police are saying they're investigating it as an assault, which is absurd.

Do you genuinely believe that some high-school kids should face jail time or criminal charges because they put a bucket on someone's head?

It is an assault, she didn’t ask for them to put a bucket on her head. Dumb that you’re still defending it even though you’re pretending you’re not defending it.

Frankly they deserve a fine, probation, community service, and a swift kick in the ass.

Absolutely, it’s assault which resulted in harm to an individual. These “pranks” for likes are fucking bs and until something is done it will continue to happen. Let me tell you if someone did that shit to me idgaf who you are, I’m taking to you to the ground and you might go to sleep.

Depends. Kids have received jail time for pulling chairs out from people and causing them to slip and fall, which in some rare cases can result in severe head injuries.

People have gone to jail for pranks in the past.

If you hurt somebody, you're liable. Even if you claim it was "just a prank"

It isn't hard to come to such a basic conclusion. Don't defend assholes. If you hurt somebody, you pay for your actions. If you don't want to go to jail, don't hurt people. Full stop. Be better.

Nobody was hurt. The woman was taken to the hospital with nothing wrong with her. She freaked out, went to the hospital, and was fine.

Because she had a plastic bucket put on her head. That's it.

It literally in the article said she suffered an acute heart issue which caused her to collapse and pass out.

Why you lying? We are not stupid. Stop acting like we are.

It says in the article that she says the hospital said she had an "acute heart issue", which isn't a thing. She didn't have a heart attack, they would have said that. She was stable when she got to the hospital.

She just freaked out about a bucket on her head. Again, it was a fucking plastic bucket on her head. I'm not saying it's okay to do shit like that, but I am saying that people are frothing at the mouth over a dumb stunt committed by children.

In a time where women are grabbed by sex traffickers, where rape statistics are ABSURDLY high, and you have no idea if this woman has suffered any form of trauma (like fucking giving birth, which can absolutely alter a woman's mental state) it is the HEIGHT of victim blaming to say she was overreacting about this. In the less than a second it took for her to become disoriented, panic can set in and take over. It's not her fault, and it is NOT OK. Kids being kids is no excuse, and yes, they should be punished.

Likely says the person that is dismissive of their kids, if they have or will have some, when they do shit to others.

At fourteen you need an asswhoopin if you go out and harass people for stupid shit. Being young never excuses bullshit.
