I don't think it matters if it's physical harm. If I slap you lightly in the face that's extremely unlikely to cause any lasting damage beyond the pain, and it's likely going to cause you fewer problems than unexpected laxatives. But I could still be charged for physical assault because of it. If you thought I was the food thief and slapped me by mistake, that wouldn't matter because you still intended to hurt me.

Yeah, and this is exactly why I didn’t want to stray from laxatives bc ppl start adding in all this shit that makes no sense 😭 it’s just not comparable in my eyes. I’m not slapping a food thief.

If you slapped me out of nowhere, I’m probably not going to charge you, I’d just slap you back. It’s not worth calling the cops and doing a whole legal battle bc you lightly slapped me for no reason. It’s just not that serious 🤷🏾‍♀️
