It wasn't assault. She was in private property, and according to Washington state laws, you can remove someone from your private property if they won't leave when asked. Someone posted the video in an earlier comment. The police explain it pretty well. That lady is definitely going to be arrested, and will probably lose her gun rights.
For anyone who wants to put this to the test? Try it BUT, you will NOT like the outcome. In WA state there is a HUGE difference between your living room and a business open to the public. Again for anyone who believes they can do this? Have at it but, you will find out the hard way the law and what you believe are not the same.
Yeah, it sorta was a low-grade assault. It's a business, and not "private" property - it's not like she wouldn't leave the clerk's home. I think you're confusing Castle Doctrine/Stand Your Ground laws with trespassing. As a business open to the public, private or otherwise, the most the clerk could have done was to ask her to leave, not force her out the door physically. Tell her she's trespassing, then call the cops if she doesn't leave. Best not to lay a hand on her.
She will be arrested, for sure. For brandishing certainly, and perhaps ADW as well, since she pointed the gun at the clerk, even if only for an instant.
If you are making excuses for point a gun at a worker because they are doing what they were told to say then maybe you arent mentally stable enough to own a firearm. Dont like the rules at a store go to a different store.
Coloreds can get food out of the back of the restaurant and they can drink from a separate fountain. If they don't like it they can go somewhere else.
Again, the employee didnt make the rule or the legislation. Shooting someone making minimum wage isnt the grand stand you think it is.
That's what you got from my statement? I merely stated that I wondered when someone was going to get sick enough of the BS and something like this would happen. Did I say she was justified, or cheer her actions? No I did not, and for you to postulate I'm not mentally stable enough to own firearms from my initial statement indicates to me you're not as clever by half that you think you are.
SPOT FRIKKEN ON!!
Restating your original flawed logic isn't the effective argument tactic you think it is.
I just got the coof too. Someone I work with side by side all day, most days got it bad (he's vaxxed and boosterered). I have a bit of a cough and a runny nose, so I took a test, and was frankly surprised I tested positive. I absolutely would have dismissed my "ailment" as having an irritation in my upper respiratory from breathing in dust from the depths of old buildings. I had to take a test to know I was sick and now I'm on vacation for 5 days. Hope you have an easy go of 'er.
The main reason they are losing the scam is so many have found out they had it after 3 shots of "vaccine" so its getting harder for them to hide it. I got good and sick a couple weeks ago. Did not bother with the test but working in health care I would bet I had it too. Like all the nasty little bugs floating around this flu is never going to go away either. Those who wanted some real power for once in their life sure made the most of this though. It was a learning lesson to watch.
I forgot to add the bit of info that would have been a bit of a qualifier for my mention that my co-worker is vaccinated and boosterered, and that is that I am not. And he is just getting spanked by this. He also is in his late 50s and just had a root canal, so he's having a rough week.
I had two shots, required at work or I would not have done it. Wife got the 3d and she got good and sick same time I did. They have been PUSHING the 3d shot non stop at work but I think they finally figured they had gotten all the cooperation they were going to get. So so far are not saying the 3d shot or get out. Hey they did play this hand for all it was worth.
RobMa is touching on a perspective that has been largely missing from this thread. Namely, the perspective of a female being aggressively attacked by a male. Women carry a lot, and I mean a lot of baggage in our society when it comes to physical abuse by males. If you have any empathy at all, a female reacting with extreme self defense in response to an attacking male is not all that difficult to imagine. This discussion has evinced very little empathy for that female perspective, which by implication shows just how one-dimensional and male-dominated the discussion has been. Neither party in this altercation was "right," that's for damned sure, but everybody might try extending just a morsel of empathy for the female who was physically attacked.
While the woman was an idiot and will have to pay for being stupid, NO ONE thinks the clerk would have tried this if it had been some guy larger than him. He only did what he did because it was a woman who was smaller than him. I am sure when he saw her pull he thought he probably should not have done what he did.
Stay well and glad you your case is mild. In the scheme of things, mine was not that bad. The lingering cough is the biggest pain but getting better.
MOO like the cattle we are.
