Anti-Masker Arrested at Costco -- It's "All My Fault"

44. That's going to be up to the DA

I used to be a paralegal and worked for the DA (in another state) up until a few years ago. The differences between assault and battery are very clear. Assault is simply putting someone in "apprehension of harm." You don't have to touch them. Battery is when you are physically touched and obviously there are differing degrees. Simple assault and battery, according to my research in our State's statutes, are typically misdemeanors, but still carry harsh penalties. Not enough happened for it to be aggravated, so it probably won't hop up to felony status.

I am developing some bruises and found some scratches, which have been photographed and will be documented. I'll be making a same-day appt with my dr tomorrow and am considering a civil suit against her. I'll also be monitoring myself for COVID symptoms and will be getting tested.

I think the shock is starting to set in and, frankly, I don't care right now if I ever go anywhere again. People are freaking nuts and I'm just going to stay home, work in my garden and feed the birds and squirrels.
