I am not being sarcastic at all.
A lucky blow to the nose at just the right angle can easily result in death, and it doesn’t take a lot of force.
ANY fight can result in death or serious injury, and “kids” are far stronger than many people realize. My 8 year old girls is already as strong as my wife.
If you can’t see the difference in this case than you’ve either been drinking early or are an imbecile.
Do you seriously believe you won't be charged with murder?

That is why one should think long and hard about fighting. You are not just risking the other person’s life, but your own, either through them killing you or you being executed for killing them. Life has value. If you take it, you pay the ultimate price - forfeiting your own. And a person with an “eternal” perspective understands that this is not as tragic for the one being executed as some would have you believe. This is especially true if the event brings the person to an acceptance of the Lord’s saving Grace.
For me, it is very black and white. You do something that deserves a hand slap, and you get a hand slap. If you do something that requires prison time, you should do the time. If you intentionally take another human’s life, you are executed. Very simple.
In all of the above cases, the individual uses the life God gave them as they see fit. All suffer the consequences of their actions in this incredibly brief life, but none of those actions impact whether they spend eternity in the presence of Jesus. That is the more important issue.
I consider ganging up on a kid and beating him until he is dead to be 1st degree murder. In my “Cuban Leaf as dictator” world, they would have the opportunity, while awaiting execution, to reflect on the love of Christ and His forgiveness. And the parents of the boy who died as well as the general society would “feel” as though they lived in a land of justice and probably act more accordingly.
Our Laissez-faire attitude toward justice is one of the things destroying our country. The rules are way too “squishy”. We don’t need a lot of rules, but when they are violated, they need to be enforced.
I’ll give an example: I drive at 69mph in a 55 zone on my way to work every day. I pass cops and they do nothing. Going over 70 is a different story though. This creates an environment where “everybody” speeds but the cops only pull over “suspicious” drivers or to meet their end of month quota. It sucks. There is way too much of that sort of thing going on in every area of law in this country. I would prefer the speed limit be set at 70 and you get a ticket at 71. The rules are clearly defined and there are definite consequences if you break them. All laws should be enforced that way, and that should be considered when they are created.
