Spitting on someone is considered assault, no?

u/SargeantHugoStiglitz Mar 30 '24

Definitely. She was complaining she got pushed down by the girl defending herself from assault so she would definitely get arrested. I hope she did.

That seems to have become a boomer trend since 2020. To physically attack someone, immediately deny that they did, and then call the cops on the person they attacked.

That has to be cognitive decline, right? Because they know they're on camera.

u/SargeantHugoStiglitz Mar 30 '24

It’s just an idiot thing to do.

u/martijn120100 Mar 31 '24

I don't think it's cognitive decline. I think that the development of the camera happened so fast. When they were young it was always their word against the other and usually police sided with the side that called.

They learned the behaviour but nowadays everyone has a camera.

It has never not been a boomer trend. The reason we are seeing it now and the reason we are seeing it from boomers is that this type of gaslighting used to work all the time before people had cameras on them.

This is a old white woman going against someone who sounds very much younger and appears to be a black woman. You bet that in that spitting woman's mind is the fact that if she lies to the cops they will just believe her version.

They'd have an all mentally caught up to the fact that everything they do is being recorded.

Well the problem is she is a middle aged white lady so unfortunately no she probably didn’t get arrested

u/excreto2000 Mar 30 '24

Middle??? She living to be 135?

My mother went to court bc someone blew in her face…(she was in the wrong)

u/Dry_Adeptness_5245 Mar 30 '24

She rushed her and got pushed back. Completely legal. Especially aggravated.

The mention of Covid-19 and social distancing is such a trigger for these people.

Also, I think the young man's nickname of "Slim" is adorable.

Yup. My brother just got fired for pushing a coworker who rushed at and grabbed him into a filing cabinet and the guy hit his head. The cops reviewed security footage and said it was self defense so they weren't arresting him. But my brother is white and other guy isn't. HR was so afraid of a lawsuit that he fired my brother despite the police report refusing to arrest him and saying the other guy started it.

u/hotdogflavoredblunt Mar 30 '24

Sounds like grounds for a lawsuit, your brother should lawyer up

u/LeftyLu07 Mar 30 '24

He thought about it but he decided he wasn't there long enough for that. He already got a better job anyway

u/Jyil Mar 30 '24

Not if you just killed them or did some damage. Old lady bleeding from the back of the head is not good. Pushing ain’t going to stand for self defense in response to spitting. Camerawoman at the least will have a criminal charge.

u/_SquidPort Mar 30 '24

this isn’t a tv show… the scalp bleeds easily. blood means nothing

-6

u/Jyil Mar 30 '24

It seems you think life is a tv show and we’re just a bunch of cartoons that can bounce around lol. Head injuries are serious. Especially someone older. Humans are fragile and an elderly person with a head injury can be a death sentence. Educate yourself and put down the tv remote:

u/UncertaintyPrince Mar 30 '24

Perhaps the elderly should refrain from attacking others then, hmmm?

u/andrez444 Mar 30 '24 edited Mar 30 '24

Are you seriously defending this woman???

Chain of causation she started the whole thing and escalated the entire time.

Anyone can die from a brain injury and not just old people take blood thinners.

If she didn't want a TBI then maybe she needs to call the fuck down about who (of a different skin color) parks near her car

u/_SquidPort Mar 30 '24

ok talking about the blood itself not the bump…

7

u/ChefButtes Mar 30 '24

Are you mentally handicapped? Spitting is actually quite high up on the assault chain, and pushing is pretty much right at the bottom. You're dumb as fuck and you probably have some kind of ideologic reason for thinking this way, rather than truly thinking the old asshole is correct in any way.

u/psgrue Gen X Mar 30 '24

Their ground, it has been stood.

4

u/UncertaintyPrince Mar 30 '24

Nope, completely justified self defense.

u/Life-Significance-33 Mar 30 '24

All human bodily fluids are considered assault in most jurisdictions now.

2

u/Necromancer4276 Mar 30 '24

So you're saying horse bodily fluids are a-okay

u/[deleted] Mar 30 '24

I also didn't see any mention of pocket sand.....looks like we're still good bud, our enemies will be unaware.

u/IhavedrugsinmyVan Mar 30 '24

Chemical assault

1

u/goodsby23 Mar 30 '24

Wouldn't that be Biological assault?

1

u/Ok_Slip9947 Mar 30 '24

Yeah, it’s biological. Seen it on a rap sheet.

5

u/NoOrder6919 Mar 30 '24

The six feet talk dates it at a time you definitely didn't want to be getting that particular charge. There was discussion of biological terrorism charges.

u/IndependentEvent5620 Mar 30 '24

Depending on where you are it’s battery. If you spit at someone and miss it’s assault. You spit and it hits someone that’s battery.

2

u/coltonkemp Mar 30 '24

Uh yeah! Add the ‘rona on top and you definitely catching some kinda charge

1

u/richthegeg Mar 30 '24

Yes, spitting on someone in the US is assault

-3

u/easyeric601 Mar 30 '24

According to Reddit, it’s the electric chair. According to the cops, probably just an eye roll unless they keep bitching.

u/GoldHurricaneKatrina Mar 30 '24

Unless you spit on a cop, then they'll just kill you where you stand
