You can simply not get a simple concept I am trying to convey. My point was that initially the kicking seemed a big offence, so everyone was saying the punishment was justified (mind you, I never asked if the kicking was justified, but you silly people are constantly bringing that into the discussion).

After knowing that it was not simply a tantrum, but it was a fight over a serious issue the act of kicking (although it is still not acceptable) becomes less serious as an offence. And if he needs to be put behind the bars,she also should be jailed for attempted murder.

And this is not a simple case, it is a perfect example of how we often tend to jump to conclusions.
