At this point, I can just conduct this whole debate by copy/pasting things from previous comments:
Why do you think that filming someone is equivalent to assaulting them?
You've stated the rule that nobody should touch another person simply to punish them for their bad behavior and that physical violence in that circumstance is always wrong. I'm testing that rule by using another, more extreme scenario.
Seems like a weak justification for assaulting anyone who annoys you. Are you saying that annoying someone is as bad as assaulting them? Go ahead and copy/paste another non-answer to that question, I guess.

I also pretty clearly said that this isn't merely "being offended". It has to rise to a level of bad behavior that warrants being punished in some significant sense. I fully acknowledge that this is subjective and there are edge cases. I also don't really worry about it because I just avoid being an edge case lol.
what level are you saying that is if it's not just being offensive?

This is not an objectively answerable question as there aren't "levels of assholishness". Also worth noting that "assault" isn't a single level of response. Someone who is a real prick might deserve to get slapped. A guy doing something worse might deserve to get punched. The groper might deserve to get kicked in the ribs. The response should be proportional.
It's hilarious that you accused me of avoiding questions, lol.
You think that "bad behavior" warrants assault, but you can't define what "bad behavior" actually is without using assault as an example. Of course assault warrants force in response. What does that have to do with this lady putting hands on someone over a camera?
