The double standard here in the USA is ridiculous

If this holds up on this "charge", then our court system is even more ****ed up than I thought it was.

(according to a MD attorney's website)

Second Degree Assault in Maryland

Elements of the Offense

There are three different forms of second degree assault in Maryland: intent to frighten assault, attempted battery assault, and battery.

In order to prove “intent to frighten” assault, the government must provide beyond a reasonable doubt: (1) that the defendant committed the act with an intent to place the other person in fear of either immediate physical offensive contact or physical harm, (2) that the defendant had the apparent ability, at the time of the incident, to bring about offensive physical contact or physical harm, and (3) that the other person reasonably feared immediate offensive physical contact or physical harm. If there is sufficient evidence to support a claim of self-defense, the government must also prove that the defendant’s actions were not legally justified.

Assault can also be an attempt to cause offensive physical contact or physical harm. In order to prove the “attempted battery” form of assault, the government must prove beyond a reasonable doubt: (1) that the defendant actually tried to cause immediate offensive physical contact or physical harm to the other person, and (2) that the defendant intended to bring about offensive physical contact or physical harm. Again, if there is sufficient evidence to support a claim of self-defense, the government must also prove that the defendant’s action were not legal justified. Consent would be another defense.

Finally, assault can be defined as actually causing physical contact with another person. In order to secure a conviction for “battery” assault, the State must prove: (1) that the defendant caused offensive physical contact or physical harm to the other person, and (2) that the contact was the result of an intentional or reckless act of the defendant and was not accidental. Once again, the defendant can argue self-defense. Maryland Pattern Jury Instruction – Cr. 4:01.

Give the kid 2 weeks of detention (one for each lip involved in the "offense") and be done with it.

I don't get it, I never knew this was a crime. Was this a pecker on the cheek, or did he bind her wrists against the wall and go Western European on her?

Re: News that make you say WTF?

Going to refuse to get worked up over something that wasn't even investigated by the journalist and therefore we have zero details about what happened. You can try to make anything sound innocent enough. Maybe this kid and his jackass friends had made this girl's life hell for years and this whole incident was the last straw. We don't know, what we do know is that it was serious enough to call the cops, and it was serious enough to turn that over to the DA, and the DA's office felt it was serious enough to go to such extremes. Now, either all these people are being unreasonable and malicious, or there are facts they know that weren't presented in this little 90 word article.

Serious question, do we the kid props or not? I really want to but can't because the kid doesn't remember it the next day.

Yeah, that's most likely a crime too... Lmao!

I haven't reviewed in detail, but we don't know for sure if it would actually work, outside of theory. And for all we know, it could be one big joke on him, and the roommates did the work. I think this is really just a somewhat lighthearted riff, on the kid.

Either way, what makes it absolutely funny to me, is that it immediately made me think of the Engineer's Hymn, that was our unofficial fight song... (if you look it up, you'll understand) lol.

Just happen to be watching FoxNews and they're doing a story on it. Apparently he grabbed her shirt and gave her tongue. Ok, I can live with a misdemeanor on that. If someone would have done that to my daughter, I'd want him castrated, of course.

2nd degree assault sounds a bit harsh, but I kinda understand that if she didn't want to kiss the guy he'd probably have to hold her still while kissing her, maybe even french kissing, I'd feel kinda violated...

Someone should be able to go to school without being kissed by some sketchy kid, you know?

Re: News that make you say WTF?

So apparently this 52 yr old man was hiding under desks at FIU smelling women feet. Took the police a while to find him but they arrested him. I just want to know how can you not see somebody hiding under a desk ?

Why is Rex Ryan at FIU? Shouldn't he be preparing for arguably his biggest game of the season.

Note: I didn't read the article or know the of Rex.

Anyone else click that article and see the still frame of the video with the play button placed in a spot that made it look like a censored blur? Makes the guy in the background look like he's taking a squirt

Re: News that make you say WTF?

Sort of a WTF, but more so it's a question of... what do you do in a scenario like this? I'm talking long-term, not the incident itself.

Man shot while trying to get police to kill him.
