There's a difference between justice and revenge

For me it is fine, that bastard will think twice next time.

I’ll take things that never happened for 200$

Idk,

Shouting “Hey, don’t do that” loud and clear may be more effective.

• kid may have thought they where alone and will get jumped from getting caught.

• May alert the parents their kid is up to mischief.

• Doesn’t potentially start an escalation war with neighbors

• Doesn’t carry the small risk of the child falling or otherwise getting hurt with you as an easy blame.

Think of it like this: Does the kid now understand the “evil” of their actions to try be better next time. Or will they feel vindicated by their parents support against your “evil”

Everyone here balancing the ethics of getting wet like it's assault.

Water melts snowflakes and wicked witches, everyone else need not worry.

All living things should be used to being wet either all the time or somewhat regularly. To think beyond that, wow, society has its teeth in you and you are lost.

Like, I agree with the tit for tat. But don't let your cat outside.

That the risk you take with an outdoor cat. It's not even like water is harmful to it.

I used to have an outdoor cat and if that happened I would have shrugged it off and expected him not to go there again.

i think i still remember where i was the first time i saw this posted

plot twist: kids a radical ecologist, keep ya cat indoors.

ESH. Kid shouldn't have done it, but also the lady shouldn't let the cat outside

Americans will use anything but the metric system

How DARE you interact with my poor, helpless cat, who I lovingly toss outside to slaughter songbirds, pick up parasites, and maybe get flattened by a car. I don't generally give a single solitary shit what happens to it out there, but this splash of water is TOO FAR.

Edit:

Please stop letting your cat out. It's not good for your cat or the local wildlife.

You can tell the people in here thinking it's ok to retaliate like that are people that live alone with cats or in their parents basement with cats. I have cats and children. Y'all this isn't the way to go about this.
