“Its got to be a type of assault or battery.”
I believe that even just accosting someone, saying “go back to India you bum!” or whatever is assault, and if you strike them that is battery.
So yeah, free speech and all, you can calmly stand somewhere and say “I think all Indians should be thrown out of the country” but you can’t be charging up to Indian people and screaming at them.
Of course, if you’re an insane, drug addicted, homeless person, you CAN do all those things!
“I believe that even just accosting someone, saying “go back to India you bum!” or whatever is assault...”
When you drank the Kool Aid, did you at least ask for your favorite flavor?
Telling someone to go back to where they came from is not assault. Assault has to have with it a threat of violence.
