And we have a host of fuching morons her on this thread that agree with the idiot worldview.
Given the poor quality of American education these days, learning otherwise usually takes experience in criminal law as a prosecutor or otherwise as part of law enforcement. The street cop approach to two guys who have gone at it without causing significant injury or property damage is often to threaten to run them both in if either wants to press charges, then make them shake hands and go their separate ways. Judges and prosecutors often take a similar approach when such cases reach court, sometimes with a finding and minor fines for “mutual public affray” against both.
