If we’re being honest, I think most people would agree. Is that an unreasonable expectation?[/quote] Cool now do J6[/quote] +1[/quote] +2 I'd love to hear that. [/quote] Well we have great news! Over 1,600 people who were federally charged for J6 and over 1,000 plead guilty. Wish, granted![/quote] I think you missed something …[/quote] +1. Maybe you failed to read that Trump pardoned all the January 6 domestic terrorists on the first day of his term. Some like Jared Wise were even hired at DOJ despite being on video encouraging rioters to kill the Capitol Police.[/quote] +2 PP? [/quote] So because Trump pardoned the J6 crowd, many who spent years in jail and were financially ruined, it’s now ok to assault federal police in a completely unrelated case? Not sure what kind of answer you’re looking for. Both seem wrong to me. [/quote] It wasn't assault.[/quote] +1 However, I would like to hear an explanation of how Trump pardoned 1000+ people, many of whom carried deadly weapons and bludgeoned police officers and caused millions of dollars of destruction to the US Capitol. And Trump even hired some of the January 6 domestic terrorists like Jared Wise who is on video encouraging rioters to kill police officers---he's now paid by our tax dollars as Senior Adviser at the DOJ. [/quote] +1 million[/quote] What does that have to do with the sandwich guy assaulting a federal officer?[/quote] Sandwich guy didn’t “assault” a federal officer. [/quote] Battery? Unlikely. Assault? 100% text book. [/quote] Most people don’t know the difference sadly.[/quote] There is no difference as a matter of federal law. The USC collapses the common law offenses of assault and battery into the term assault. https://www.ce9.uscourts.gov/jury-instructions/node/458[/quote] Wasn’t it charged under DC law?[/quote] No. The complaint charges a violation of 18 USC 111. I linked the jury instruction for that offense above. It wouldn't matter anyway. Every jurisdiction that I'm aware of (including DC) collapses common law battery and assault into a single offense called assault. I'm a prosecutor and I've practiced in DC. The common law distinction between assault and battery is basically academic. [/quote]
