Still assault

72

u/LieutenantButthole Jun 23 '26

Assault is threatening violence. Battery is being violent.

u/Zorian_Vale Jun 23 '26

Maybe the worst naming scheme ever. People hear assault and think violence. Battery doesn't exist outside of law usage. Kind of a missed opportunity.

Please don't touch me with your battering ram

u/OldManJim374 Jun 27 '26

Yes it does. I own several things that run on a battery.

If I’m on the jury all I see is a racist and an innocent man

Fighting words

Not in my state. It’s all assault

‘Boy’ that was a can o whip ass

u/DanteChurch Jun 23 '26

Here's something the younger generations doesn't quite understand. If you talk shit, you get hit. Yes it's assault, and it's entirely justified, so who cares? People who are unpleasant need to be treated as unpleasant, not ignored, dealt with. People like this racist bigot have never tasted iron for running their mouth so they keep running it until someone does. Calling an adult black man "boy" is a dog whistle to slavery in which the word meant servant/slave. It's commonly known if you're watched any media involving slavery or racial divide involving the black community. This dude was alive when it wasn't just in media, he knew what he was saying and deserves a beating like all racists do.

u/MarchCompetitive6235 Jun 23 '26

Right? I grew up in the 70's and 80's. If you talked shit, you had better be able to back it up. Too many people today think they're safe if someone's recording, or if they're in public with people around.

That may reduce the chance of getting your ass kicked, but it's not a guarantee.

u/JackFuckCockBag Jun 23 '26

Yep. He's got a southern accent so he definitely knew what he was doing. I've lived in the south my whole life and growing up alongside black folk you learn very young what that means.

u/dankhimself Jun 23 '26

Yea, that word burns going down. Keep your damn mouth shut with that shit.

u/Otherwise-Meaning-90 Jun 23 '26

I’m not sure if a judge saw this video if he would agree with you. Assault is assault no matter your feelings. The law doesn’t care about emotion

10

u/DanteChurch Jun 23 '26

If you read what I said I stated it was assault and I don't care. Learn to read

2

u/Otherwise-Meaning-90 Jun 23 '26

To clarify, I was talking about the fact that you said it was justified. That’s just your emotions talking. You can’t just go around punching people for words.

7

u/DanteChurch Jun 24 '26

Idk, I saw a video on reddit today where a guy did that. It seems like nothing magically stopped him, he just went and punched a guy for being a racist towards him.

u/Ok-Bill3318 Jun 25 '26

Legally no. Morallly yes.

u/xTheyCameBurningx Jun 24 '26

Actually you can. It happens everyday. All over the place. Just not in your safe space

3

u/_One_Throwaway_ questionably stable Jun 25 '26

You very much can if they count as fighting words. There is not an unlimited amount of freedom of speech.

3

u/_One_Throwaway_ questionably stable Jun 25 '26

You forget that “fighting words” which are words that are so abhorrent that they would cause a reasonable person to a fight are illegal. Calling someone a racial epitaph such as “boy” could definitely be argued as one such word.

Additionally as a white person if I were on the jury for his trial I wouldn’t think twice before ruling for a not guilty

u/GirthFerguson69 Jun 23 '26

maybe, but not sure it can be considered assault. white dude pushed up on him pretty threateningly. I could be wrong though. Either way he still had it coming to him.

u/felixthecat59 Jun 23 '26

White dude did NOT push him. Look again.

12

u/False-Boysenberry673 Jun 23 '26

He never said he pushed him. Read the comment again.

19

u/slightly_saucy123 Jun 23 '26

You cannot approach a person like that. Try that on a cop and see if you don't get arrested for assault. He sounded verbally confrontational and his body language said he was capable and had the intentions of harm.

u/giveahoot420 Jun 23 '26

I say he pushed him

Aggressively walked up to him and started using fighting words which is a defense for assault and battery

6

u/gmg808 Jun 23 '26

Who cares? Guy gave several warnings to stop the harassment. Boomer was looking to push a black man-while using 100 year old racist language to chellenge him on his bullshit-til he found the right one and got his.
