OMG HERO!!!

Assault is seriously one of the stupidest fucking crimes in history.

Hit with a frying pan = assault
Squirted with water = assault
Punched in the face = assault
Stabbed = assault + other stuff
Spit on = assault
Poked with a finger = assault

Buncha pussies running this country at all levels. How is squirting someone with water the same as stabbing them?

Fixt. If the victim has been actually touched by the person committing the crime, then battery has occurred. If the victim has not actually been touched, but only threatened, then the crime is considered to be assault.

Legally there are different level of assault...simple assault, assault with a deadly weapon, etc. They have different charges depending on the severity...that's kind of up to the arresting officer and court to decide.

This robo thing actually is assaulting people if it makes these people think they are about to be sprayed. It commits battery the moment it sprays them.

Not in Texas. Contact = assault.
 
Not in Texas. Contact = assault.

Everywhere in the country contact = assault

You can have assault without battery, you can not have battery without assault in most circumstances. I'm sure there is a case where you might sneak up behind someone and whomp them on the head without them knowing it thus making it just battery.

I am sure there are small differences in each jurisdiction but the general rule is that contact = A & B, no contact = A

it would be hysterical to watch a bunch of bums attacking a smoker with 2x4's while it's spinning around spraying them with water :lol:

OMG, SNL had a spot on the Weekend News Update (or whatever) about this..




something like:

"A man in Atlanta has invented a machine that sprays drug dealers with water."

(touches earpiece)

"this just in.. a man has been murdered in Atlanta by a wet drug dealer." 'twas funny

I was listening to the regular guys on my drive into work and they mentioned that skit...apparently this video is getting quite a bit of play on various sites too
