Well, it's much closer than any of Radar's analogies. And according to the article, he hadn't intended any harm towards the kid, just as Lani Frank didn't intend any harm in handing out forms. "Harm" is subjective. I'm not saying that they're equal, only that both can be perceived as undesirable by a property owner, and that owner is free to respond with proportional force... if you hand out flyers, you'll be asked to leave. If you grab somebody's kid, you'll have the shit beat out of you. Either way, if that response isn't sufficient, it is OK to involve the police.
