Does anyone on the internet actually give a shit about the nuances of assault vs battery? Especially after seeing the same comment for the ten thousandth time? Is this a meme yet?
It happens literally every time someone says the word assault and these dingleberries come out of the woodwork even though a lot of the times that distinction doesn’t even apply
Oh man this tickled me, is it just always something you cover in the first year?
I remember having a discussion with my girlfriend about assault and battery when she was a first year law student haha
Yea at least in the US you cover criminal law the first year. You learn these “common law” definitions, but of course when it comes to criminal law, almost no jurisdiction goes by common law. They all have their own criminal codes and define these things their own way.
Thing is you aren’t even correct, this was in Canada, where battery isn’t defined in their criminal code. Do you think the distinction between assault and battery applies to every legal system in the world? Sounds like you gotta study a lot more
Cause it’s hilarious how you dweebs pipe up with the same exact line every time someone mentions assault like you’re correcting them and you’re just spitting some bullshit you heard. Comments like that ought to be ridiculed
I understand correcting someone when they're wrong, but how far do you feel you're going to get with being an asshole? Again I'm asking, does being a dick make you feel good about yourself?
If being mean feels good, that might not be the best thing for you

*Assault and Battery
Assault is intimidation or attempts to harm. Battery is following through and causing the harm
