Assault Charges Filed Against Maxine Waters After Journalist Confrontation
Western Journal ^ | 6/28/2018 | Chris Agee

Days after U.S. Rep. Maxine Waters appeared to endorse the harassment of Trump administration officials, one reporter announced she is pressing charges of assault against the California Democrat.

Pro-Trump investigative journalist Laura Loomer wrote a blog post this week describing how she “confronted” Waters over the controversial comments. Loomer included a video of the encounter, during which she now says she was assaulted three times.

“Today I filed a police report in Washington, D.C. to press charges against Congresswoman Maxine Waters for assaulting me,” she wrote on Tuesday in a subsequent blog post on Big League Politics.

She went on to offer her side of the account.

“When I confronted her regarding her call for targeted harassment of Trump administration officials, Ms. Waters assaulted me 3 times,” Loomer wrote. “She hit my hand to try to knock my phone out of my hand, and then she hit me in the face with her papers twice.”

She also described the incident in a followup video published on Tuesday.

“When I was confronting the congresswoman, she assaulted me three times,” Loomer said. “The first time, she swatted my hand with her hand to attempt to knock my phone out of my hand while I was recording her. … The congresswoman then hit me in the face with her papers two separate times and it was all caught on camera.”

A lot of people don’t reslize that even an unwanted touch can be considered an assault.

With the DC cops?

Waters could have killed the lady and I still doubt anything would be done.

DC cops aren’t even cops. They’re union thugs in uniform.

Even if this goes nowhere, it might make mad Maxine pause the next time she wants to get in someone’s face.

I love it.

Yep, and I guarantee you if Laura had waved a bunch of papers in Mad Maxines face and inadvertently made contact, there is no doubt she would have been charged with assault. And it’s on video, Mad Maxine did it twice.

Then stuck her tongue out like a child. Which she is, mentally.

Don’t bring up the DC cops.

Remember in 2010 when they had that snowball fight in DC, and some cop arrived and was swinging around a pistol and threatening to shoot people over throwing snowballs?

At one point, the fire department union and the police union were in open conflict against each other.

Physical contact not always required. That's battery territory.

Assault and battery often bring up images of the typical fight or brawl, and some states combine the two offenses. However, the terms are actually two separate legal concepts with distinct elements. In short, an assault is an attempt or threat to injure another person, while a battery would be actually conftacting another person in a harmful or offensive manner.

The Hypersensitives, who invented “microaggressuons”, should understand this. What goes around comes around.

I like it when the bad guys reap what they sow.

Poetic justice and all that.
