Your trying to say he shouldn't have kicked him..emre offended him so he lashed out.
Would you lash out if someone offended you?
I'll go a bit further, **** it, someone walks past you and your kid and calls them a ****. It's just a word. Do you walk on?
(Used **** just to slap the point across a bit)
It's does it a disservice calling it that.
A lot of bullying is only name calling but has lead to depression and suicide. Saying it's only name calling is an antiquated notion in my opinion, in the long term name calling can have just as much an effect as any sort of violence.
And is there much worse you can call someone that n*gger? Showing utter distain and disrespect for someone and seeing them as a lesser person based on the colour of their skin?
I don't know how I'd react in either of those situations.
What I do know is that if I was to lash out violently I would be in the wrong unless I was trying to protect myself or my kid/wife from physical harm.
If I did lash out, say kicking someone in the bollocks for example, I doubt I'd have the Internet cheering me on and I'd fully expect to be prosecuted by the law for assault and battery, possibly GBH. The police certainly wouldn't take "but he called me a name" as an excuse and rightly so.
If they had broken his legs or knocked his teeth out or had all surrounded him on the floor kicking him I'd have said different but they give him a couple of hard kicks during a football match because he'd racially abused one of their team mates.
You seem to be having trouble aggregating things. Like calling there is a spectrum of name calling just as there is a spectrum of violence. You wouldn't get charged with assault for booting someone up the arse in the street just as you wouldn't be charged for calling someone a fat git.
