The law is the law that is what we were discussing. Not the probabilities of someone using it or not. Are you implying that my hubby is not reasonable by stating the law??? <93>

LOL Since. Do a citizen's arrest on him. Better still, get him to take a TVCH name and let him post right along with us. "Hero" would be a good user name if it isn't already taken.

You are the one saying it is the same offense under the law.

Criminal and civil laws are two different things. I don't think he would ever be charged under California's criminal code. I think Jen would have a pretty easy victory in a civil case, but she probably wouldn't win anything, so there is no point. She wouldn't be able to show any damages. That doesn't mean he didn't batter her by the letter of the (civil) law.

The real point is that you can't go around dumping drinks on people because they say things you don't like. <55>

If we were discussing a civil case he wouldn't be arrested.

Please address the issue and not each other. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion whether you agree with it or not. Please be respectful!

and i repeat ... how would you feel if it was you ... outraged! I'll answer this question.... I would not be outraged. I most likely would have returned the favor...and it would have ended up in a very very wet war.... I certainly would NOT have been seeking charges/lawsuits of any kind.... I save my outrage for things I feel deserve it...

to each his own. i would be angry beyond belief and likely to escalate such an incident TO involve the police. but that is me. no one would get away with that stuff on me.

Laws vary according to the state in which we live. And where I live, a policeman can arrest you for many things, but that doesn't automatically mean you are going to be charged and brought to trial. I apologize if my earlier post was taken as to say that any person could go around randomly up to someone that they didn't know on the street and pour something on their head and verbally abuse them. I was speaking specifically to the Dick and Jen situation.

I would imagine tea would be the least of Jen's concerns.

i would really like to test this theory. see how people would really react if confronted with a cup of tea dumped on their head. alas it will be likely all conjecture. i for one dont even associate in circles where such a thing is likely to happen. nevertheless i know myself well enough. i simply have a low threshold for ca ca when pointed in my direction. i think the rest of the world could stand to drink a little less koolaid and stand up against all the ca ca too. but again that is me.

Kreno - too funny! Where did you go to law school? I work for one of the big firms in Houston. I'm with Zachsmom - life is too short to get all bent over something as small as this.
