Are you serious? I just watched a video of a boy slamming a woman on to a concrete surface (where she hits her head), he then returns to his feet grabs her by the leg and the front of her shirt, and throws her carelessly in to a pool with two dogs. That's unquestionably assault. Legally, assault can be as light as verbal slandour coupled with the displays of physical intention of harm, ala raised fists with insults. This is quite a few steps beyond that. I don't understand the apologists here "oh he was just trying to..." He picked up a woman, fell over, then instead of apologising as the gravity of his mistake sets in, he forcefully, and indecently manhandles her into a pool with her two animals. It's just so utterly reckless and dangerous. He has already tripped once, has not assessed to see if she or the animals are hurt, has no understanding of her ability to swim (given the great display of his character, I can't imagine he was the acting lifeguard immediately after) or of any of her underlying health conditions. Even if she was completely unscathed, this event will undoubtably be traumatic for her. |
I dunno, I was expecting something much worse. I mostly felt sorry for the dogs. If the guy didn't slip over and the dogs weren't involved it would just be a video of a lady getting thrown into a pool.
