Re: Bastard children

Actually, I do think you are exaggerating. Sow me a case where holding a child back from committing an act of violence toward animals or objects was ruled assault?

Re: Bastard children

"Assault" can, under U.S. laws be defined as "the violation of one's personal space or touching in a way the victim deemed inappropriate". Intent does not necessarily enter into it. Don't believe me? Walk up a cop and grab his or her arm in an effort to prevent them from doing whatever it is they're doing. While they're handcuffing you for assaulting a police officer, be sure to yell that you were only doing it to prevent them from committing an act of violence and do come back and let us know how patient and understanding they were toward you.

This law applies to both adults AND children, and it's arguably harsher when it's a child: "A threat made to a child might be sufficient to constitute an assault, while an identical threat made to an adult might not."

Arguing that you meant well by grabbing a kid won't necessarily excuse you, if the parent chooses to press charges. Just accept your "advice" was poorly considered, nonny.

I was asking if you can give me a precedent. You apparently can't. And your police example is just dumb.

Re: Bastard children

I honestly don't know whether you're serious or trolling, but in the U.S., the legal definition of "assault" is open to interpretation. If you spit on someone, that can be construed as assault. Grabbing their arm? Assault. Blocking someone's way can also be construed as assault. If you're a stranger who grabs another person's kid, be prepared for that parent to raise holy hell. Arguing that you were just trying to stop them from hurting the birds will not hold any water with the parent OR the police, because you could've easily done that without touching the child.

Don't touch other peoples' children as a punitive action. Just don't.

Of course it will hold water if I tried to stop them verbally and they didn't listen. And of course assault is broadly defined. Of course spitting on someone or restraining them can be an assault. But stopping someone from committing a crime is expressly allowed. Why the hell are all of you so fucking cowed by some (imagined?) examples of people exploiting the law?
