Police later seized the rocket launcher. No charges were filed.

I used to carry one, (empty) slung across my back on a regular basis while riding my bicycle in Western Kansas.
It made those truckers think twice about turning me into roadkill.

Ummm, quick question.
Under what authority did the cops seize a non-weapon in a non-crime?

Under what authority did the cops seize a non-weapon in a non-crime? He was brandishing it in a threatening manner, and obviously intended to put the person targeted in fear of being killed. That's assault in most localities.
Quick question: if you and I are having an argument, and I pull out a handgun (empty but you don't know that), point it at you, and pull the trigger, have I committed an offense? Hell yes.
The idiot with the rocket launcher is lucky his opponent was not armed, as he would have had legal justification in blowing rocket-man away

From the article "Police later seized the rocket launcher. No charges were filed."
I'm working from the assumption that if this WERE a crime, someone would have been arrested.

Doesn't take a brainiac to figure out who won that argument.

That would be the misdemeanor of simple assault, unless in a scuffle entered into voluntarily by both parties, in which case it would be petty assault, under the Model Penal Code.

I agree. I was going to post the lyrics, until I re-read them and decided that I disagree with them enough to not put them on this forum.
