I'm sorry man. You're a good poster. It just really gets under my skin with the political discourse in this country, on both sides. It seems no one can have a discussion without it turning nasty. People get accosted on the street, in restaurants, etc over political views. It's out of hand. We don't have any respect for one another these days.And I said the kid got what he deserved. No need to bring authorities into a simple situation like that.
And if I got egged, it'd ruin my day. It wouldn't hurt. I wouldn't call the cops. I would react in the same way.
My views aren't mutually exclusive of each other.
And quit shouting. Save your voice for the game. Geez
Calm down Rambo. I might punch the guy, but if I did, it would be my anger and rightly so.What would you do if someone hit you in the head with an egg? Somehow I think you would defend yourself. THERE IS ZERO EXCUSES FOR PLACING YOUR HANDS ON SOMEONE UNLESS YOU ARE DEFENDING YOURSELF. IF YOU DO YOU DESERVE WHAT YOU GET.
I'm not ashamed to say I would punch the guy. Any unwanted physical contact by another is considered assault by the law. You also have to understand the human reflex to even the slightest pain, especially unexpected. You have little control sometimes how you react, the mind takes over.Calm down Rambo.

It's a liberty with words however, to say "defend yourself" when discussing an egg.
Unless of course, you had a trauma event as a child. Something along the lines of being cornered and attacked by an entire gang of egg wielding Flock of Seagulls fans etc..
It is 100% assault.Boooo
He got an appropriate punishment. Maybe needed to be punched a little harder. Whatever
Edit: didn't realize he justified a mass killing by blaming immigrants. He deserved the egg. And lol at anyone acting like getting an egg smacked on your head is "assault". Use better words.
The only thing I got out of this story is you’re someone who likes to knock out little children with your class ring and then brags about itI'm not ashamed to say I would punch the guy. Any unwanted physical contact by another is considered assault by the law. You also have to understand the human reflex to even the slightest pain, especially unexpected. You have little control sometimes how you react, the mind takes over.
Example, I was helping out with Bible School one week. I was helping out with five year olds I think. This little boy comes up and taps me on the back. I turn around and he punches me right in the family jewels. Instinctively, I sort of slapped the top of his head with my open palm, very lightly. It was just a reflex. It wouldn't have been a problem but I was wearing a big class ring and it was turned backwards on my hand. It almost knocked the kid out. I felt terrible but I literally had no control.
I said that I might punch the guy because it is reflex. Just picking on you because I cannot use the phrase "defend myself" over an egg. It's an eggsageration.I'm not ashamed to say I would punch the guy. Any unwanted physical contact by another is considered assault by the law.

I see everyone's point about this not really being "assault" especially from a snot nosed kid. However, if he gets away with this without any punishment, then you will have an army of crazy people on both sides of the political aisle slapping who knows what on anybody they don't like. You gotta make an example of him to prevent chaos.Boooo

You're leaving out a very important word, "fanatics". I'm not defending the guy as you are the behavior of the punk that blindsided him. He got what he deserved and should be arrested for assault.
Gotta admit, the kid looked like a 16 yr old weighing in around 130 pounds. The old guy should be more embarrassed by his sorry azz punching ability than the eggtack.Aren't you the eggspert. Personally think more politicians need rotten food, soggy trash, eggs, and other harmless projectiles lobbed at them. Kudos to the young man for having the brass to egg the POS and then take his weak azz old man punches. Don't come at me about #Respect either, politicians don't deserve it; not today's politicians. Bunch of self-serving charlatans.
I know I’m just kidding. Imagine you explaining the story and someone over hears you saying “I almost knocked out a child by hitting him in the head with my class ring”Not bragging. I felt terrible about it. I did find out that my reflexes were very much cat like. I went straight ninja.![]()
I did proactively tell the parents when they picked him up and apologized profusely. The mother gave me a smirk and walked off, the dad said he deserved it.I know I’m just kidding. Imagine you explaining the story and someone over hears you saying “I almost knocked out a child by hitting him in the head with my class ring”
I probably woulda hit the ground before reacting to the kid
