No, her rights weren't trampled on. But you chose to drag her through the dirt, as if she trampled on the twerp's rights.

She did take a stand, and as you stated, at risk to herself. I support that, although a 14 year old Goth is almost by definition a panty-waist and is only a threat to himself and small animals.

It is exactly the attitude of "choosing our battles", not standing up for ourselves, and the perception that we, as a people, don't have the stomach for a fight that led the the destruction of the WTC. Somalia most recently, but this has been escalating since we pulled out of Vietnam.

Quite incorrect. She posted to the forum, looking for comments. I gave mine: she is a self-righteous, unmannered child. At no time have I accused her of violating anyone's rights.

So, actually, she didn't.

It is logically impossible to extrapolate that from the experience she described.

Somalia most recently,

We shouldn't have been there in the first place.

but this has been escalating since we pulled out of Vietnam.

Ditto.
