(42,862 posts)Simple assault is an A misdemeanor, punishable by up to one year in jail. A sentence for this crime could also be a conditional discharge or three years probation. This is charged when the defendant:
Intends to physically injure someone, and in so doing he cause injury to that person or someone else; or
Recklessly causes physical injury to someone; or
Causes physical injury to someone using a deadly weapon or dangerous instrument, and is acting with criminal negligence
Physical injury means impairment of physical condition or substantial pain. A deadly weapon includes most weapons, and a dangerous instrument includes most items which are capable of causing death or other serious physical injury.

What, say the lawyers, no murderous intent is evident? Yes there was. He kicked her in the stomach, down an escalator. That is a clear attempt to commit murder -- unless his lawyer can prove the man is mentally challenged or clinically insane.

(47,315 posts)it seemed a bit too random to have any political agenda. Just rude behavior, and if anyone dares call them out they respond with violence.

(63,221 posts)These so-called "tough-guys" never seem to take their pathetic Incel induced rage out on men who are thier size or larger. It's always women, older men or sometimes even children. They are such fucking cowards. I hope he gets thrown in prison and loses everything he has.
