This began with Southern claiming that “the left” has declared it perfectly acceptable to assault Trump supporters. I asked when and who has said such a thing. You chime in with a statement from Palosi about confronting Trump supporters.
Do you not see the difference between confronting and assaulting???
You are trying to pass off a argument on semantics! What do you think confront means? It begets violence or acts thereof! Confrontation is harassment which leads to conflict! No matter how you try to phrase it, your kind are encouraging this behaviour! So please spare us the semantics argument it’s dimwitted to do so!
As usual you are trying to pivot here for fear of exposing your vacuous mental facilities that fails to draw the parallels of harassment that leads to assault. Your mental gymnastics on display here to which you want to make such arguments is so weak that even a 12 year mowing the lawn can tell the difference!
Since you love semantic nit picking- I guess harassment in the form of terrorizing families is OK with you as long as it’s toward someone with whom you disagree.
Nobody can be that stupid. Most states have laws that also treat verbal assault as “assault”.
Yelling profanity at someone may just be harassment but when you add threats to it, it becomes assault and may also be treated as communicating a terrorist threat which carries even higher penalties.
Respectively, “assault” and “battery” are separate offenses. However, they often occur together, and that occurrence is referred to as “assault and battery.”
In an act of physical violence by one person against another, “assault” is usually paired with battery. In an act of physical violence, assault refers to the act which causes the victim to apprehend imminent physical harm, while battery refers to the actual act causing the physical harm.
Criminal Law
Criminal law statutes will sometimes merge the two terms of “assault” and “battery” into the one crime of “assault.”
Tort Law
In tort law, the act of assault and battery would be considered an intentional tort.
What would you call this?
NY man beaten by Dem teens cause he was wearing a red hat. He’s also a brown-skinned immigrant if I’m correct. Yet the police are not considering it a hate crime.
Assault . At Common Law, an intentional act by one person that creates an apprehension in another of an imminent harmful or offensive contact… An assault is carried out by a threat of bodily harm coupled with an apparent, present ability to cause the harm.
You are confusing assault with battery. Battery is when you touch someone. Assault can be verbal.
