maybe a smoker and broke a leg, and then a stack of cactuses falls over on him. Then his mother see what happens and comes over and starts kicking him. "How many times have I told you not to ..." And then you run to Aisle 9 and get some zip ties and start tying him up all kinds of ways. Leg to ankle. Cactus to forehead. Jug of Roundup to his pierced ear.
But I guess what you did is legally permissible.
