>>>"Well, let's get it on, buddy." That's a challenge, but not a threat.
No, that is local jagan. It is not a challenge. That is being asked to step outside and settle this. I'm from this area. That is how we talk.
Right. And "settle" means trial by combat. It is not a threat. It is an invitation to violence that can be declined at the cost of being called a coward. A threat of being called a coward is not a treat of violence. This story is bogus --Rush was threatened with insult and he was not threatened with violence like everyone's trying to say.
If he had been threatened with violence then he could have the longshoreman brought up on charges of "assault", which means treat of physical attack. Rush was not threatened.
