Looks like attempted murder to me.
Fruit of the Obama Regime.
That’s what we get when big chains knock out Mom & Pop neighborhood
restaurants. They hire lower skilled, one parent, socially maladjusted crazies.
These chains have some culpability for hiring vicious thugs.
If the old man dies, which is a very real possibility, you can take the ‘attempted’ off and make it a straight murder charge.
If the DA doesn’t bill it like that he or she should be fired.
Not sure how many places have the category of crime against the elderly but some do.
Connecticut .... there are certain people who are considered “protected people” from assault. If someone assaults a protected person, that person will face greater penalties than someone who assaults a regular citizen. The elderly are one party that is considered protected from assault. If you face an assault on an elderly person in the first degree charge, the penalties could be serious.
Assault in the first degree is a Class B felony. It carries the following penalties: A prison sentence of up to twenty years. There is a minimum prison sentence of five years if the assault was committed with a deadly or dangerous weapon. There is a minimum 10 year sentence if the victim is under 10 years of age or is a witness injured in assault. A fine of up to $15,000.
Is it a felony to hit a senior citizen in Texas? Assaults in Texas that are not Aggravated Assaults are Class A misdemeanors, while Injury to an Elderly person is at least a state jail felony and could be as high as a first-degree felony.
Johns Hopkins University website: What are the rights of a senior? The elderly have the inherent right to life, dignity, and the integrity of their persons, which shall be protected by law. The elderly have the right to be free from abuse, neglect, and exploitation. The elderly have the right to be free from discrimination.
