    She is still a perpetrator, she doesn’t need to be charged or convicted. She violently assaulted someone. That is not in dispute. That she isn’t charged is a mercy given by society because of the circumstances. The victim of her assault could still press charges if they wished.

    Failure of society to address a grievance when it suits you does not justify forming a mob and violently attacking someone. She is not ethically justified violently assaulting someone because her feelings are hurt.

      Do you understand the legal concepts of “Instigation” and “incitement”?

      The person who throws the punch is not always the person legally responsible for the punch being thrown. When his unreasonable actions rise to the level of “instigation” or “incitement”, he becomes responsible for the actions she takes against him.
