You almost had it right
I bet he gets charged with assault. The blood sucking gubment cheese eating union thugs MUST be respected! worshiped
Thanks for the correction. Sometimes I just don’t say what I mean!
In fact, you do not even have to strike someone to commit an assault under common law. Simply raising your hand in a manner that would cause a reasonable person to fear an offensive touching is enough.
I love it when internet blowhards attempt to apply the law, especially when they have no concept as to what the law actually means, or how it is actually applied.
In reality, most people think that their own fantasies are law, and that the world owes it to them to apply their "law" and only their "law." That's not the system that our Framers set up. Like it or not.
