The bolded. That would have been more appropriate. Kids don't pay fines, their parents do.

Thus, they think the world is supposed to submit to their version of right and wrong. It isn't a matter or morality. It is a matter of opinion, preference, choice.
If X doesn't like Y using their own fire extinguisher for a prop, you know what kind of problem that is? An X problem. Not a Y problem, not an I problem, not a U problem. The rest of the world shouldn't have to sacrifice themselves and their own sense of what they deem decent to please the immature feelings of some clown who has an overblown perception of their own code of conduct. X can pout about it all they want. Grow up. Or be miserable at the rest of the planet not acquiescing to their selfish wishes.
They have no right to impose their sense of right & wrong onto the freedom of others.

There's gray area all over this. Both X and Y could be wrong and be the problem, particularly these days. You are right, of course, in your slant but I go back to the basics where everyone is courteous to everybody, or should try to be. That is the basis of sportsmanship.
