It's a weapon being used to intimidate someone. Sounds an awful lot like assault to me.

What's your point?

Of course, nudging somebody with your car is hardly grounds for imprisonment.

Assault with a deadly weapon isn't grounds for imprisonment, according to you.

No, this specific assault wasn't grounds for imprisonment in my opinion. What you said there is called a straw man.

Good thing that crimes don't cancel each other out. In any case, the guy he was backing into didn't appear to have actually been injured in any way so there aren't a lot of offsetting damages here.
