No offense intended. The terms assault and battery are widely interchanged mistakenly and done so a lot by journalists not understanding law.
In short:
Assault is creating the apprehension (think fear of) in a victim.
Battery is the contact of a victim.
Aggravated means either term involves a dangerous weapon or the age of the victim.
To me, the video shows a battery in progress with a lot of body contact. Not aggravated if no dangerous weapon and similar ages of alleged aggressors and victim.

In the media and Trump’s opponents are referring to it as assault which it is definitely not. I posted that video to show what assault is!
If we go by the media’s definition of assault in the Lewandowski case it means that tens of millions of Americans are assaulted daily and I guess they should all go to the local police and file charges.
You could pretty much say that everyone is assaulted in the subway at rush hour if we use the hyper hysteria of Michelle Fields. This is such a waste of time.
That's correct as a matter of civil (tort) law. But in many states, the criminal code uses the term "assault" to include both threatened and actual contact with the victim.
