Assault Charges (stories included)

[Zilong]

Well, I got into a situation where someone may press an assault charge at me, I figure I may as well tell the whole story, since it may prove to be an interesting read.

It was turning up to be another boring day on my daily life. Before leaving the house, I did two things rather differently than usual, I left my iPod because it ran out of battery, and I decide to wear a black slacks that's much easier to move my leg around in compared to the jeans that I usually wear, little did I know those would be the butterfly wings flapping for my not so distant future.

I went to the bus stop as usual, when this vietnamese lady approaches me. She started talking about Jesus, so I figure it's the usual religious nuts. Last time I encountered one, I just put on my iPod, and burned the pamphlet she gave to me. Apparently though, my lack of headphones seem to be giving her the idea that I would be interested in the bullshit she spewed, so she yaps and yaps about Jesus, while I explored my happy place filled with robot maids, swords, and giant robots.

I saw the bus coming, and decided to stand by the stop, but this lady decided to follow me, and started bitching to me about how my attitude is disrespecting her. She told me she was my mother and I was her son, I would assume that as some vietnamese broken english for "I am the age of your mother, you should respect me like my son would". My beloved mother live about a few thousands miles away from where I was, and I think I would be able to recognize my mother if I see her on the street, and she was not her.

Somewhere along the line, I may have told the lady to fuck off, called her a bitch, and all that shit, I just remembered her broken english cursing at me as I was standing there, waiting for the bus. Then she hit me on my head, sending my glasses flying, I could only imagine that it was the lord's will coursing through her, and it was my divine punishment of sort.

I stood there, everything was blurry, perhaps the lady's strike has damaged my brain, or perhaps my lack of glasses turned everything into a blur, but before I knew it, my feet hits her on the side of the head, sending her back and causing her to fall on an old lady.

The bus driver saw this, called the cops, and I had a witness speaking on my behalf corroborating to my story. The officer that came took both of our accounts, and my witness corroborated my account while the lady seem to just tell the cop of her life story and her belief in christ. The officer asked if I wanted to press charges, I just said I would only as a counter charge if she did. The police said she didn't so he took down name and address of me and my witness, then went on their merry way.

Would this be the end of the story, or would the crazy lady has grounds to file charges against me later?

And when all is said and done, my glasses was martyred in her religious crusade of aggressive conversion. Your death will not be in vain dear friend, for I shall continue to fight the good fight against christianity.

TL;DR: Don't try to talk me into christianity, I will kick you in the head

Wow, so your mother traveled thousands of miles to see you and you kick her in the head? What a douche.

I hope someone skips your post, go straight to mine, and think that's what really happened.

Also, I'd like to point out that it's hard to not attack someone when they knock glasses off your face. I beat a guy down badly in my middle school cafeteria for that. I didn't even realize what I was doing until he was already on the ground and bleeding and teachers were pulling me off of him.

You should be safe. If you get a call from a lawyer from her, contact the police department that took the report, get a copy of the report, and fax that to the lawyer and say if she still has intentions of pressing charges despite a report showing she struck you first, you will be countersuing her and will be going after her for legal fee's, lost time at work, etc.

karate vs. christianity... karate wins.

So that's why you don't hit somebody with glasses. Interesting.

[Atreides]

so you weren't interested in christianity but you came to an internet message board looking for absolution?

I'm trying to find what the black slacks had to do with what happened

Thing is the officers didn't really took down any statement or notes in writing since I decided not to press charges if she didn't. And while I think she can't touch me, I got a feeling her church or relatives may actually try to pull some bullshit if she made a big deal of it to them.

I'm more afraid of legal repercussion than divine judgment at this point

Made it so much easier to kick people in the head

My god I'm predictable

[Correction]

Remember kids, don't press your beliefs on others.

He wouldn't have been able to roundhouse kick her if he was wearing his jeans.

LOL thank you for the good read.

She has a case if she pursues it. You used a higher amount of force than she did. Also, most people would not view a small Asian lady as a threat. Rule of thumb is, if someone hits you or threatens you, you can use an equivalent amount of force or threat of force. You roundhouse kicked her in the head, not sure that's equal.

Although your vision was blurred and you were in a state of confusion, that doesn't matter.

Meh, I'd acquit him. Proportionate response is bullshit. If people don't learn their doing something wrong, they just continue along their merry way. Granted, many times they just don't learn anything at all.

Honestly just let her ramble to the authorities and they'll probably sympathize with you >.>
