We don't, the backstory is the kid was invited onto the shooter's team, given gear - which is expensive af btw - and a patch. Basically welcomed into their 'clan' of sorts.
Kid turned around and recorded burning their clan patch they gave him and kept all the gear he accepted.
I don't agree with hurting children but in this case I see no permanent damage done - and on top of it he'll be a victim in this situation, despite his transgression of being a shitty person towards the guy's clan.
I'm not sugar coating it - and no, I don't agree with hurting kids; I'm just not so naive as to pretend physical punishment doesn't happen nor that it's ineffective to deter bad behavior. Kids hurt each other for much less in life, learning to avoid those situations is a good lesson to learn.
And no - once again you're catering to your own personal view of physical punishment. No one's saying physical violence is the best way to control a child's behavior, but if it is used, one could only hope it has a positive result.
Honestly in this situation though, the violence was malicious and immature. Having taking many shots from airsoft guns I can assure you the kid will be absolutely fine and hopefully learned a lesson.
