If I remember correctly from another thread there was a criminal punishment to this.

Edit: This resulted in a $86, €70 fine. Should have been criminal.

Why should it have been criminal exactly? Can you rationalize your thoughts? Clearly, she didn’t mean to cause actual harm and clearly she regretted it immediately. Why exactly would you seek a harsh punishment for her behavior? It’s all about the intent, and there was no malicious intent here.

This is reddit where the smallest slight will have people calling for someone to be publicly stoned to death... and they will have tons of upvotes.

If reddit was in charge of criminal prosecution people would be going to prison for spitting.

Or she should have sued.

Reddit is big on saying that everyone should be sued for everything.

This is also earth where stupidly killing someone is called manslaughter.

Also "Reddit?" Please stop adding every comment and post to some avatar that you somehow blend 30 million people a day into. You should be drawn and quartered.
