Except my argument never was that. I don't care about that. I'm pointing out his absurd comparison to actual child abuse which has affected me before.
The reason being is that you completely have missed my point entirely.
For starters, I did not say child abuse. That is a gross exaggeration of my original post - which specifically said "smacking a hand".
You were the one that brought in talk of "slapping up across the head" of what you experienced, which I'm sorry to hear but isn't what my example regarded.
My point being is that people freak out at a literal slap on the wrist for some while this action in the OP is completely disregarded and the assault charges are called out to be excessive, because they disagree with this man's politics rather than viewing the act objectively - that it was assault clear and simple.
Perhaps the comparison was bad, but you blew it far out of proportion to what it was and the very specific example in which I gave.
I don't think you understand. Slapping a child on the hand *IS* physical child abuse, there's no other way to put it man. Repeated acts of that nature would have a lifelong emotional and mental impact on a kid. Even a slap on the wrist can cause that.
People freak out on someone for committing child abuse rightfully so, whereas splashing water in someone's face is an almost completely harmless action. Yes, you can charge someone with simple battery or assault for splashing water, but it doesn't mean you should. Looking at other cases online, DA's usually don't actually press charges for people throwing water at each other. Honestly the only reason they probably did in this case was because Steve King is a high profile man.
You're the one whose blown this out of proportion man. Throwing water at someone is nowhere near child abuse nor is it a "harmful action". Even under the legal definition, it'd be considered Simple battery, it'd be considered insulting contact, not harmful.
