Assault.
Possibly, it needs another source of evidence though. In the video the man asks: " Did you chase him? Did you try to hit him?" The woman replies "Yes", but it's a compound question and easily argued she was saying yes to chasing to get back whatever the child took.
Threat of violence is a crime and in this case clearly racially motivated so would be a hate crime. But I think it'd be tough to prove in court with only the video evidence and something for the criminal court to discover, not the parents or the NAAPC.
I'd like to again state this woman is pure garbage and the people that gave her money are probably worse.
Assault doesn't need physical contact. Just yelling at him threateningly and chasing is more than enough to qualify. If she hit him it would also be battery.
I agree, but imagine a situation without race involved. If my wife has something taken and chased a child to get it back, then got charged for assault, it'd be laughed out of court.
This could be classed as assault, depending on intention, I think the investigation is looking into her character to prove the intention. Obviously she has a shot character, but they may need subpoenas from judges etc to look at phone records for evidence. It all takes time. I'm sure she's getting her just desserts eventually.
If your wife makes a habit of chasing and yelling at children, you should be careful. She could be charged and it is unlikely it would be laughed out of court.
Man it's like you picked 2% of what I said and felt that's enough...
I counted, I think it's 89 words and you're response is as far as I can tell to one word: wife. So between 2-3%.
If you can't understand subtext, I can't help you.
I also heard the child may have had disabilities, which adds a whole new layer.
I don't mean to be contrarian for the sake of it and I agree with people's feelings. But the law works in both ways.
