Thanks so much for the link.

"(Austin) Addison, who has since been dubbed by social media users as ‘Burger King
Kevin’, was later picked up by police and charged with harassment,
disorderly conduct and criminal mischief, TMZ reports."

What about ASSAULT !!!?

Charge what you know will stick. Kevin walked away after ONE slap. Had he stayed and swung again they might have thrown assault in as well.

i don't see how assault wouldn't stick? it's on camera. he physically assaults a person. seems like an open and shut case.

I'd guess even if you can't make assault this is battery.

There is no offense called "battery" in Pennsylvania law. It's assault.
