![Look how they spin the Thomas Sewell story [591x1280 - 114KB]](https://pic8.co/sh/GzzKGD.jpg){kind=link}
Go back to Owen and Teddy's streams, with your ignorant labels, and drink some turpentine. Your comment is beyond retarded.
If you touch me with a finger or poke my chest that is assault!
Pathetic
That's actually the law. The second someone touches you, that's assault and you're within your legal rights to defend yourself. Private property or not, you can still get hit with trespassing and all that shit. However, the security guard ripped the dude's shirt before the dude clocked him, this is clear cut self defense.
The guard tore Sewell's shirt, but notice how both men go to the ground at one point. The shirt could have been torn at any point after the exchange began. The question is: who initiated the assault?
I pointed to the fact that there is no video evidence that the guard assaulted the cameraman. Let's be charitable and say the guard became frustrated and put a hand on the shoulder of the cameraman to begin 'directing him' toward the door. That's not out of the question. But we can't jump to the conclusion that the guard threw a punch at the cameraman. Whether what the guard actually did (which we cannot see) rises to the level of assault or not, it's not within Sewell's rights to begin attacking the guard if what the guard did was put his hands on the cameraman. Let's also acknowledge that when we are dealing with a security guard, whose job it is to keep an environment secure, there might be a little latitude given to him (especially if he has a clean professional record) not to assault people, but forgiving him if he places his open hand on someone's shoulder for instance.
Whatever went on between the guard and the cameraman, Sewell wasn't the one threatened here, and if Sewell threw the first punch at the guard, he's wrong.
Listen, I understand the frustration over this. The first time I watched the video I was frustrated as well. But step back from it a little ways and consider what's actually going on here. The security guard is paid to do what he did here. He doesn't want to. Nobody wants to deal with this shit. It's his job. On top of having to jump in and deal with two instigators that nobody else wants to deal with, he gets called a fucking monkey on top of everything else.
These guys were trespassing, and when the security guard tried to escort them out of the building (which he did at first through verbal commands), the cameraman called him a monkey and <maybe or maybe not> the guard 'assaulted' the cameraman. Either way, does that mean Sewell can come over and start throwing punches? Probably not.
From the standpoint of common sense, Sewell should have known neither of them were going to get away with this unless they could show the guard had literally attacked them (forget the legal definition of assault). It's fairly obvious to me that's not what happened, and so Sewell is going to get fucked over for this. He should have been smart and left the building when he was asked to, and if he'd wanted to escalate this, he should have gone and collected more people to go 'stage a protest'. Attacking a black man on the job is patently retarded in this day and age. I have no sympathy for Sewell in this case.
Again, it's the law, you push someone, you put hands on someone in a threatening manner, and escalation is very possible. Which is why the law against the instigator. When two people fight, it's because neither is willing to back down, but it's also because one person is instigating.
I can see it playing out both ways depending on legal representation. I believe blacky got offened and pushed the camera man and probably made a threatening gesture, the other dude stepped in, probably got shoved as well, and then the guy got cold cocked.
If that is the sequence of events it's self defense, the only charge they can levy will be trespassing. Aside from the tussle it did not escalate and the people left the premises. The only way trespassing can stick is because they stayed despite being told several times to leave private property.
You want to know what's really pathetic, you trying to defend the dancing porch monkey, and these slanderous cowards.
They'll run hit pieces on people, fill in the blanks and just bypass the primary source, that's called making shit up. That's not journalism, that's propaganda. You defending that is pretty telling. You defending those pathetic cowards who hide in their office, and have their diversity thug, muscle out inconvenience is truly, truly pathetic.
Way to think like a Leftist, man. At no point did I defend the journalists covering this story or the people working for that media company. But, okay.
They're in the wrong because they have the blessing of the rich and the state to slander who ever they want. If you can't see something wrong with that, then we are at odds.
You defended the (((jewdicial system)))
This should not even go to court nothing really happend if you know anything about security guards they have no fucking rights to touch you or do fucking anything<<< at least in Texas. They are supposed to call the cops that's it
Even a slight use of force can be considered assault if it is offensive physical contact. So the answer to the question is yes, slight force actions like a push or a shove can qualify for domestic violence if it is offensive to the victim. Also when giving your statement, if you admit to shoving or pushing, that’s also evidence against you.
or are you literally retarded?
I can't make the points I've already made any clearer. This argument is not about the definition of assault, but if it makes you feel good to 'correct me' about it, then I'm glad to give you the opportunity.
