    Excessive fine, hopefully it was because the parents were rich or something like that. The article also says the 17-year-old kids were drunk.

    ast Friday, a Shanghai court found that the teenagers had infringed upon the companies’ property rights as well as reputation through “acts of insult”, noting that their actions contaminated tableware and “caused strong discomfort among the public”.

    Dipshit capitalist country more concerned with capitalists “property rights” and reputation than actual justice.

    If they deserve punishment make it among the public sphere e.g years of community services for the entire family or something. Isn’t that what the dipshits are so concerned about the “reputational” damage lol. So make them do something actualy good for society instead of debt slavery. Putting an entire family on debt $300k is an insane amount yet predictably some people will defend this shit.

    It is clearly an antisocial act that deserves a sanction that will be significant to offenders. Fuck the private property thing, pissing in other people’s food is fucking gross. I hope the fines are scaled to the financial situation of the offenders but in general I don’t think fines are the best way of dealing with this. You don’t become a more responsible member of society by having to pay a lot of money, you only become poorer.

    Personally I think a better sanction would have been some kind of community service combined with programmes for education, employment and hobbies/sports/etc. that sought to remedy the causes for their antisocial behaviour and reintegrate them in the community.

    From what I’ve read, the company wanted compensation of up to 23 million yuan, citing costs like refunds to affected customers and reputational damage, but the court ruled that this was speculative and reduced it to 2.2 million yuan
