I thought granola chicks were peaceful?

xanadian: FTFA: It was not stated if the milk was one or two percent.

MY GOD, MAN! WE NEED DETAILS! THIS MIGHT BE THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A MISDEMEANOR OR A FELONY!!

Bored reporter is bored, and forgot to delete that line before submitting. Oops.

Look, she was just standing her ground.

It was not stated if the milk was one or two percent.

But was it white milk, or chocolate?

Guess who got arrested?

The one committing a criminal act by assaulting someone?

Being an asshole isn't illegal. Attacking someone is.

Don't cry over spilled milk, Subby.

While, yes, the granola chick was guilty of assault, what kind of asshat calls the cops over a punch to the shoulder and some milk. I would have taken that as appropriate consequences to being an asshat.

The taunter was an asshole, and sometimes assholes need to be taken care of. But just remember that even though the person is an asshole you may be held responsible and have to suffer the consequences of hitting them. Being an asshole may be in bad taste, but it is not illegal.

The school counselor?

Oh, please. Getting arrested over literal spilled milk? The criminalization of everyday life in the U.S. is getting scary.

... Naw, I'm gonna agree with him on this one. Being an asshole is perfectly legal. The people around you are going to hate you, you could be fired, etc, but it's not illegal. Hitting someone and dumping milk (anything, really) is an assault on their person.

/I'd probably hit the guy too.

What happened to freedom of speech, man?

It's not a "spill" when it's on purpose.

That being said, the punch probably put her in jail more then the milk.

Dude's a pussy AND an asshat, no doubt.

It would be a shame if something happened to his car while she was in a room full of witnesses, several miles from the alleged vandalism.

kwame: I was under the impression that assault should represent a real threat to someone. A slap on the arm isn't exactly a threat.

He's obviously lactose intolerant

For some reason, I believe this happened at a Target. I don't know why, but I believe that.

I think if I was the employer I'd be keeping her and ditching him. It's not like there aren't plenty of people out there who want jobs. As for her getting arrested, at worst it's a fine. At best, the DA's office does something smart and exercises prosecutorial discretion.

That would be battery.

We have too many police.

What? No strawberry?

Don't have a cow, lady.

The dude got beat up by a little girl. Something tells me he's not going to like life in that workplace anymore.

Assault is threatening violence.

Battery is actually hitting someone.

/ Just so you know.

If it was raw milk, would that make It aggravated assault?

IAAl: Assault is threatening violence.

Lots of states' criminal statutes use Assault to describe when someone causes or attempts to cause harm.

So what is this, news from the Kidergarten Class?



actually, kids tend to play better with each other.

So this is asshattery, but is it truely arrestable? Really?

He fixes the cable?

Mommy! Mommy! She hit me! What a big baby.

I like vanilla ice cream.

Oh, I thought we were randomly tossing out statements irrelevant to the matter at hand.

His photo would be memetastic material.

How does the police even get involved in something like this? Did the milk dumpee call 911? Did some concerned coworker decide that this was something that should be reported?

IAmRight: kwame: I was under the impression that assault should represent a real threat to someone. A slap on the arm isn't exactly a threat.

It has nothing to do with a threat. Hell, you don't even have to make contact for something to be assault.

Technically assault is just loud noises or a strong odor.

I just bought new curtain rods.

In Florida he could have legally shot her, so she should consider herself lucky.

kwame: IAmRight: It has nothing to do with a threat. Hell, you don't even have to make contact for something to be assault.

I don't mean a verbal threat. I mean some real possibility of personal harm. Same thing if you got punched by a 7 year old. Stuff like that - it's just a silly thing to arrest someone over.



That's the kind of bullshiat logic that some women use to justify physical abuse. "I'm just a girl, I can hit you and you can't do anything about it. And if you hit me back you are an evil, horrible person."

/should have pressed charges
//just divorced her instead
///physical violence is WRONG, no matter who does it, and must have consequences
