My god

Well, I got even more specific

hiniku that's a bad argument, because categorically that's a slippery slope towards "what if someone wants to harm people so they hurt someone's feelings"

if someone intends to kill me by talking me to death, i also don't think they should be arrested on attempted murder charges.

hurting someone's feelings isn't the same as intending to kill / harm them

is that a powerplat malfunctioning?

on a physical level

Wait what? @GoldenPhoenix

Can I get an example

I hear Tim likes One Punch Man

i didn't say hurt my feelings.

i said talk me to death

Talk me to death makes no sense, causing panic to hurt does.

It's exploding

right, talking someone to death doesn't make sense, that's the point

She did way more physical harm to him, than he did to her

lol

That's more of a dive than professional soccer players

yelling doesn't hurt anyone

And that's saying something

@Hiniku intending to do harm by speech is a bad argument because that can be extrapolated into a rediculous curtailment of freedom of speech. your situation is good, but you're arguing the wrong point. It's not that they yelled fire (the speech), it's that they directly caused physical harm to a person

look

well, maybe their eardrums or something, which i would take issue with

Whoops, wrong channel.

people panicing is their own action

But my point is that you are making a false equivalence between talk to death and causing panic in a crowded space @Paradox

which they are responsible for

What caused them to panic

people don't panic without a stimulus, whether real or imagined

their stupidity

Good idea @GoldenPhoenix

yes, imagined. IE delusional/irrational.

that's not a way to run a legal system, otherwise every case of someone being taken advantage of can be chalked up to their personal stupidity

If you yelled fire, you are the direct harm of the people who panic, because you started the panic. @Paradox

No. They panic'd of their own accord in response to me shouting a word.

If someone kills themself because I write a sad song, am i responsible?

no, they had the choice to listen to it

So is it the bullets fault that some dies of a gun wound or is it the person who shot the gun?

Metaphorically, the people running in panic are the bullets of the one that yelled fire.

it's more complicated than that, but...
