>> He should be charged with assault.
That WAS in fact assault, plain and simple. If he weren’t a ‘RAT he would have been arrasted.
And that kid never even provoked him verbally!
Look for this to show up on campaign ads in the very near future.
I dont know about in DC but in this state, “assault” is what happens when a person reasonably feels that they are about to recieve a battery. A “battery” is when someone physically molests them without lawful justification. The student recieved a battery, not an asssault.
Congressman baggyeyes was not justified in committing an battery against that student, and “do you fully support the Obama agenda” is NOT fighting words, it’s protected free speech in a traditional public forum (sidewalk).
What a surprise that a democrat congressman has no clue what the bill of rights is—despite his having sworn to uphold it.
At least in this state.
