Giving unwanted hugs = ASSAULT!?

Hugging random strangers is creepy.

[QUOTE="BATTOSAI76"]

Yes. One time some older lady in her sixties that I'm vaguely related to and only "met" that day (by met I mean that we were in the same building) and went around and hugged everybody, including me when she left. No big deal, didn't know her that well but whatever. Next day. My family and I are at a function and guess what, shes there, all 200 some odd pounds of her. So she starts going around hugging everybody and when she gets to me she gives me this look like "You ain't never gonna forget this". In a flash she uses her body weight to push me up against the wall and pin me down and starts "hugging" me. It was so uncomfortable and embarrassing that I started to try and wiggle free, but she wouldn't have it, she just kept me smooshed against the wall, I would have done more but I didn't want to hurt her. After what seemed like an eternity, but was more along the the lines of the most awkward 20 seconds in history she finally let me go and walked away. My brothers, my sisters, my brother in-law all saw it, and they were all equally stunned. In a sense it felt like being raped, I mean the only way it could have been worse was if she was naked. So in short yes, It can be assault, I would have personally preferred being punch in the gut.

First, distract target...

Then block her blind jab, counter with cross to left cheek. Discombobulate.

Dazed, will attempt wild haymaker. Employ elbow block, and body shot. Block feral left, weaken right jaw, now fracture.

Break cracked ribs, traumatize solar plexus, dislocate jaw entirely.

Heel kick to diaphragm...

In summary: ears ringing, jaw fractured, three ribs cracked, four broken, diaphragm hemorraging. Physical recovery: six weeks. Full psychological recovery: six months.

Capacity to give hug....neutralized.

I literally LOLed:lol:

What a creeper. I don't think I would consider it assault though. Maybe he is just lonely.

hello....

:P

Not assault, but definitely a sexual offender.

I think just putting him on the list and a fine should suffice.(maybe some psychological care

sSubZerOo

.... Wait.. What? You want him to be put on the same list with rapists, pedophiles etc etc because he hugged some one? Its definitely harrassment, but seriously you want to make it a sexual offense?

I was on campus one time and a group of guys and girls were giving hugs. kinda odd but i wasn't complaining :P

What's wrong with a hug? There's too much hate in this world. People need more hugs, especially attractive, big breasted girls.

Nothing wrong with hugging it out every once in a while.

Maybe I should start hugging random people.

It should be considered sexual assault or at the very least harrassment... I think he just needs to get kicked in the scrotum and/or pepper-sprayed real good a couple times to break him of this obviously purile bad habit...67gt500

hugs are bad

I think it's silly to call it assault, but that's fvcking creepy in any case and borders on harassment.ghoklebutter

I think it's harassment but assault? Maybe that's going a bit too far especially if he's not mentally well. Perhaps he needs help first.

Not assault, still a little weird though :p

I don't have a problem with this guy being charged with assault. Maybe then he will learn to keep his hands to himself.

Technically, they're a battery, since you're physically touching another person. I would imagine, however, that the damages for such an "offense" would be nominal and based on principle alone.

Yes, I think that qualifies as assault.Genetic_Code

There can be an assualt without touching, but if there IS touching, it is a battery (with an assault also being possible as well). The assault simply implies that the actor put the recipient in a state of apprehension of unwanted physical contact/harm - it doesn't not require actual contact. Battery, on the other hand, is satisfied as long as there is physical contact between two actors which is not consented to and can be seen as improper, considering the situation.

Serial hugger ? :lol:

Yeah that's kind of creepy I guess but giving hugs is no crime unless you try to do unwanted things to the person.

Just a tad creepy.

Assault? Not at all...

Itis douchey and agressive behaviour though.

This guy sounds like he's got a few screws loose in his head. Forcibly kissing a girl is not something you do if you don't want to get arrested though, for the hugging itself its just weird but I don't know about assault since harassment might fit better.

Missouri authorities are trying to decide whether they are legally allowed to press assault charges on a man described as a "serial hugger."

"Jack" reportedly approached different women and said things like, "Remember me? From down the street?" or "I live in the house on the corner," and while each tried to remember who he was, he'd wrap his arms around her for a hug. Although police are certainly relieved they don't have a rapist or a murderer on their hands, one victim did report being forcibly kissed on the lips.

What do you guys think?
I like hugs as much as the next guy, but from 44 year old creepers, nah. But assult? Really?

Davulao

I think it sould only be classed as assault if the hugs are from behind.

If some dude gave me a random hug I'd push them off of me and probably punch them in the face.....Jebus213

You should probably decline any orgy invitations, you would spoil the whole thing.

I didn't want to hurt her. I would have personally preferred being punch in the gut.

BATTOSAI76

lmao

I'm totally for that.

He shouldn't hug people. It's pretty obnoxious.
