If I have beef with someone, I could punch them and go to jail.
But I can also bully them, humiliate them, degrade them, psychologically annihilate them even, and that’s fine, legallly. Why?

In South Africa, where I live, that kind of thing is a criminal offense known as crimen injuria.
From Wikipedia:
There are also a good number of other laws that deal with child abuse, so offenders won’t just get slapped with a crimen injuria charge on their criminal record and say it was just road rage when questioned.
