This is how:
We made contact just under the edge of the canopy. I say "we" made
contact...the initial contact was his right index finger stabbing into my
chest.
"It's _____ ________ hippy freaks like you that are costing us our jobs.
You got any idea how many people are getting pink slips because of your
b_________? Every time you put that ____ on someone's computer, some guy
trying to feed his family has to go home and tell his wife that he lost
his job. How about I snatch that silly little ponytail and give you a
tour of the parking lot?"
The veins in his temples were at critical mass and he physically spit as
he screamed at me in front of his van.
That's assault. I don't know if the finger poking is considered battery.
Boy, you sure have an odd idea of what constitutes "non-violence", Erik.
I didn't realize that Microsoft Tiger Training had progressed /that/ far.
