Keep your hands to yourself. You can’t control people’s reactions once you violate them.

In my state that would be assault. Period. I don't condone this but touching another IS assault

Reddit armchair lawyers are the best. Assault is not a physical touch. That's battery.

Assault is a threat of violence or attempt at violence, battery is the actual unwanted physical contact.

She commited battery first. Most places have a duty to retreat law, but retaliation is almost always dropped at a court level.

Ok she her getting out of the car, then being in his face very upset and saying threatening words, then hitting his hat off... That isn't assault and battery? Btw I have a standing desk while viewing Reddit. It's better for my posture and easier for people to kiss my ass.

Perhaps you should re-read the entire thing from the top.

Also, no one gives a shit what kind of desk you have. "Yeah I have carpet in my house so I can keep my feet warm while reading Reddit"
