I let a buddy fall off the roof of a second story building due to a comma once.
He said don’t let go. (I had grabbed his hand as he started sliding).
I interpreted it as “don’t, let go”.

Yeah. Parse these two statements, and how they might come across verbally.
Don't! Stop!
Don't stop!

All young men trying to get a date could be classified as a predator. There
is the prey and the predator. It is a matter degree. Unwanted attention,
unwanted proximity, unwanted touching. Until the girl decided the kid is OK

Is a kid screwing up his courage to go in for a kiss at the end of a date
risking becoming a criminal?
Hitting a good looking woman is now considered sexual predation.
NPR had a good example. Good looking woman at a party. George Clooney and
Steve Buscemi both hit on her at different times. Both use the exact same
words. Perhaps different deliveries but the exact same words. The woman is
mesmerized by the attention by George and feels harassed by Buscemi.
How can you codify how people are supposed to behave?

All sexual predators...from Top to bottom, regardless of party, should be
pecked to death...I have four daughters. That Alabama pedophile would have
disappeared. End of story.

One of my aunts married a guy that had a small factory farm. He raised
fryers. Those chickens you get at KFC. They were allowed to run around in a
very large room. Thousands of them per room, maybe tens of thousands. He had
lots of buildings with rooms like that.
There was this tiny conveyer of chicken feed (maybe 3 inches wide) that
snaked round the room so they were never farther than a dozen steps from food.
I think it took 6 or 8 weeks from hatching before they were ready for market.
Toward the end of their existence they would get so heavy they would just
park and the conveyer and not really move. I don’t recall
how they got water (this was 50 years ago).
If one got injured somehow, perhaps getting something caught in the
conveyer or whatever, if there was a single spot of blood, the other chickens
would notice and in short order peck the injured chicken to death. Even a dot
of red ink was enough. They would pile on and do them in.
I see some parallels. Humans are chickens sometimes.
