That another person can claim an injury. It is quite simple. This stems from the basis of civilized society.
Does injury include emotional distress and mental anguish, or strictly physical injury?

Interesting reply. I see where you are coming from and agree to a certain extent.
In regard to the principle "'Do not force upon another will suffering that is not desired by it'
You would need to define the word "suffering" strictly, as it could refer to a wide range of behaviours and emotions.

This is the same logic use to push the three strikes laws in states like California. Except that in practice it just ends up over-staffing our prisons instead.
