My god you are obnoxiously pedantic. He was using hyperbole genius. As was the guy that was speaking to his possible rage at having his child abused.

And it take a special mind of stupid to dicker over what might be an appropriate response in a theoretical event. Especially one that would involve such a heated event. I don’t think I know very many humans that wouldn’t want to thrash and physically punish an adult that abused a special needs child.
