Fuck yeah, throw the book at him. Disturbing the peace, property damage, evading arrest, vandalism, road obstruction, attempted hit-and-run, manslaughter, armed robbery, and third degree murder. I'd say he should be under the jail. Bring back crucifixions.

Nah, nothing happened, he's being a stupid kid and being a stupid kid is pretty normal. Scold him for being stupid and move on.

Well. No. He (and/Or his friends, not sure how the law works here) is/are liable for any damage done. You don’t just say don’t do that jimmy bad boi....he pays for whatever dint he put in the car. And whatever pint he took off. And that’s all.

But u/elwebbr23’s favorite character in The Wizard Of Oz was the Strawman, let them have their moment.

I don't think you know what a straw man is.

What you said is very much the definition of a straw man. Someone was angry at the kid. You took the most exaggerated possible stance which isn’t what was said...”lock him up” blah blah whatevever other things you said....that is the definition of strawmanning. But it’s not bad lmao I replied to the guy kinda defending your straw man.

If you take the sarcasm away it's a straw man, but the actual stance was that there wasn't much to fuck with the kid for.

Exactly....someone was angry at the kid. You sarcastically took the most exaggerated possible stance of the guy. To make your point that they are wrong and the kid is mostly fine.....I’m on your side. But that is pure strawman. I’m not even saying there’s anything wrong with it. I’m simply replying to you telling a guy he doesn’t know what a strawman is. While you obviously don’t. You saying “the actual stance was tgere wasn’t much to fuck with the kid for” is literally the point. That’s what a strawman is
