47. Surely there are more defining details about
what constitutes "unwanted physical contact upon a person."
Otherwise, crowded dance floors, restaurants, bars, parties, wedding receptions, etc. could all become scenes for criminal charges or civil lawsuits. How often do people tap someone when passing through a crowd to let them know they are there and coming through? Or grasp an arm in greeting? Or reach out to steady someone as they pass by or stand near someone in a crowd? Is it a forceful touch? A kindly touch? I am a person who likes my space. But even though I don't like being crowded or touched by strangers or people I just meet (unless it's a handshake), I can't recall feeling like it amounted to an assault, even when a guy put a hand on my shoulder, back, or arm while trying to hit on me. Touching my face would be too personal, but hardly an assault unless it was a slap. It still looks to me like a political thing, especially coming 2 years afterward, just months before the 2022 election season starts up. Add to that the fact that Buffalo NPR just announced, as I type, that it is the left wing of the Dems in NY that are calling for Cuomo to resign. This is beginning to look like a repeat, on the state level, what one wing of the Dem party pulled on Hillary that gave us 4 years of Trump. |
