and I think we need to remember there is a difference between the letter of the law and the spirit of the law. This is why 17 year juniors get charged with **** with their sophomore aged girlfriends for having sex like has been going on since the advent of high school and why peeing on a tree gets you charged with sex crimes. people are completely incapable of nuance, context etc.I think some need to revisit what the basic legal definition of assault is. It is elevated in many minds to a degree which it does not have to be.
Adams didn't take a step or a single milli second out of his way to "assault" this guy. The guy put himself right there and very quickly and Adams gave him a good shove. had he done anything to go out of his way to do it, maybe you have a point.
