“Oh and the threat of throwing a snowball can be an assault.”
Every year up in Lake Tahoe the police make dozens of arrests of little kids threatening to throw snowballs. If they fake throwing at a dog it’s considered animal cruelty.
So what do you call ramming a ship in the open sea thousands of miles from the nearest land? Would that per chance be ASSAULT?
And once again you make my point. Throwing a snowball at a dog is animal cruelty - NOTICE: NOT ASSAULT!
It’s people like you who cannot understand normal thinking that are screwing this country up.
