To make it easier on everyone reading this, it reads:
A just or legal claim or title.
This is where the whole thing about your rights ending where mine begin comes in. You dont HAVE a just claim on MY property or MY person. Hence, when those are violated by your actions, you are not exercising your rights, you are violating MINE. Consequently, your UNJUST and/or ILLEGAL actions are punished.
We could play this all day long and it will come down to which semantical argument one is willing to accept. Putting all of it aside, perhaps you could explain how you get from punishing actions after they occur to finding it acceptable to punish someone just in case they might do something wrong?
