    Against the background of today's hateful political civil war, YES, doing something to a political symbol like a "MAGA" hat against the owner's will would indeed constitute an assault.

    If it was a BLM hat would you have posted this poll? It's bullying to knock someones hat off isn't it? Sounds like a hate crime to me.

    What about touching a rainbow scarf of someone from the LGBT community because you disagreed with it?

    Or, what about a flag an immigrant was holding/wearing?

    What if you disagreed with someones religious symbol, could you touch that?

    if they were kids in a school, not a crime, I woudl leave to a principle to discipline the child doing the bulling, if it happened again, I would kick the child out of the school

    What part of "...they LET you .." implies anything was done "without consent"? That whole conversation was about gold diggers letting rich fat scumbags do whatever they want.

    grabbing psy without even asking, are you seriously defending Trump's comments?

    I wish I knew all the things all the women Trump made sign NDA's know

    once a person becomes president, all NDA's shoudl be null and void... every American should have a right to tell about our Presidents past

    I'm not defending Trump, I'm defending truth.

    He said "...when you're a star, they LET you do it". That is the consent of a gold digger to allow a star to grab her. It's a scummy thing, but consensual.

    Either you are a victim of propaganda, or you are a purveyor of it. Once your incorrect or misleading statements have been shown to be in error, a truth seeker will be grateful, a propagandist will double down. You should be grateful.

    All this is off topic for the thread, a simple 'thanks' will suffice. :)

    Just saw this thread. I'm going with assault - and theft too. He took that poster without permission.

    Can you imagine a white kid doing this to someone wearing an Obama hat and carrying an Obama poster? Double standard!

    Absolutely 100% assault. The assailant should be charged and convicted. Further, being a violent criminal, he should be segregated from the peaceable population until such time as he can be shown to no longer exhibit violent tendencies.

    you are defending Trump and that disgusting Bus video where trump talked about garbing psy and kissing them without even waiting for consent and thinks cause he is a star they let him do it... no donald, cause your a rich bully they don't feel they can do anything about it after the fact... look what Trump did to Stormy

    I agree, though, off topic, so let's move on... as Trump and his MAGA hats are not making America any greater

    if a rich powerful sexual pervert goes around kissing many women, many may not report it to police, that DOES NOT mean they consented to his grabbing their psy or him kissing them without even asking as he said

    We have a lot of snowflakes here if 68% believe that knocking off a hat in a high school is assault. Is it harassment and bullying? Yes. Assault? No.

    Not if it's your wife's purse and you're looking frantically for a condom, I think.

    Maybe he's a hall monitor with police powers. Just saying.

    It looks like the punk was trolling.

    This video does have an Assault In Action beyond bullying aspect, Yes / No ?

    The attacker looks some what older than regular high school kids too.

    The video is showing assault.

    I consider assault to be a physical attack. The kid was being bullied and I don't think the bullying in question was assault.

    Will that work in a parochial school?

    Catholic schools are parochial schools. I went to one for my first six years. They taught lots of religion and politics. If you sassed a sister you usually got a dam good whacking.

    For example, I was told that Einstein was a commie atheist.

    Totally agree. I hate bullying and harassment just as much as anybody else. But what was in that video isn't assault. You aren't assaulting or violently attacking someone for knocking a hat off his head. Its like we have become a snowflake country. Everything is rape, everything is assault.

    If you stood in school and someone knocks your hat off, you say it's bullying.

    If you stood in the street and someone knocks your hat off, is that bullying?
