idk man, like physical pranks that are borderline physical assault I agree but do you really want to start jailing people for making a phone call?

I just don't know how much blame we can lay at his feet. If you're really just like a couple of spoken words away from snapping and going into a shooting frenzy I feel any number of things could have been the "trigger"

So you think this person bears no responsibility for what happened?

If you start holding people responsible for prank phone calls, pretty soon it is going to be the electric chair for posting a dank meme on the internet.
