Corrik, do you understand what "fighting words" are?

Basically, if you do something that you know will provoke people into violence against you, you can be held responsible for it.

If someone calls my fiance a whore, and I punch them. I am getting charged with simple to aggravated assault depending on the circumstances.

Can I maybe plea that down to disorderly and counter charge harrassment of some sort? Possibly.

But, I also could have just ignored it and decided it wasn't worth my time.


My cousin has done his fair share of bouts in jail because he has not learned that choice exists and how to make the right one.

Hell, one of my good friends did a year for aggravated assault because he threw one punch during a deck hockey game after a repeated argument and shady crosschecking from the opposing player.



And, you are arguing you should just be able to go up to someone and cold sock someone because they are saying things you do not like and there be no consequence for it?

Then why have a legal system.. the law is the law. It is not supposed to take sides politically.

A Nazi citizen has as many rights as a Nun who raises 34 foster children. Neither is above that law.

Is one a much better person. Absofuckinglutely. But, it does not give you the right to violence against people who have despicable thoughts and justify it. Violence is violence.
