It was a beginner run, a bunny slope in other words. That information is in the articles linked above. There's no excuse for running into a toddler on the bunny slope. She didn't deserve to be punched, but she did, at the very least, deserve a warning from the ski patrol, and depending on the circumstances, have her lift ticket yanked.
But even if the things you made up were true, he would still deserve jail time for violently assaulting a person.
It's very rare for someone with no criminal record to go to jail for a provoked minor assualt resulting in no major injuries.
The guy was fined, banned for life from six major ski resorts, and forced to pay restitution. In addition, he now has a criminal record that labels him as a child abuser.
That seems fair to me.
I read that is was a beginner run, which is different from a bunny slope. Where are you getting the story that it was a bunny slope? Where are you getting the story that she was going fast? Where are you getting the story that she did something she should be punished for? Everything I’ve read describes and accident, followed by an unprovoked beat-down. Do you think all children should be punished for getting beaten, or is it only the girls?
