Yes. Technically speaking you do not actually even have to apply force to get charged with this.

Seems like somebody posted a graphic of teams with the most arrests recently and KC was lapping the field.

I'm jealous.

I'd happily lap the field in that category for their recent success.

I mean I want a really successful sports franchise as much as the next fan but there are limits. See Britt Reid. Some stains don't wash off bud.

i expect if someone much stronger than you simply put their hands around your throat, whilst showing obvious signs of anger, would cause most people a great deal of trauma, even without applying much pressure.

I know nothing of the details of that incident but you can catch this charge by simply placing your hand/hands on someone's throat.

Most states consider this a felony.

And rightly so.

Not sure I agree. I could technically kick the poo out of you and get less tims than if I just grabbed you by the throat. 

To that point, and I do realize that this is a pretty big outlier and not anything close to this thread, but I could choke you out as a trained martial artist, causing basically no harm but it would be a more serious crime than if I landed a roundhouse kick to your dome that left you with a TBI.

it sounds like it’s not that the penalty for the choking is too much, but that the penalty for the kick to the head is too light

I think probably a bit of both.

Yanno, I'm staying out of this. There's no good place to go here. Let's all just not put hands on other folks.

I watch a lot of crime and detective murder mysteries, so I consider myself an expert.  My wife is nervous because she sees me watching these all the time; it gives me leverage.  Seriously, you are right--any gesture during an altercation that demonstrates non-defensive, life-threatening actions can get you attempted murder charges.  While it can be a misdemeanor (depending on circumstances in some states), it is a gesture that does not require physical evidence to prove in court, so you are really going to need a good attorney and a Chiefs fan club jury.  This is what AI tells me, and it is NEVER WRONG:

Section 22.01 of the Texas Penal Code This charge is also referred to as Assault by Strangulation. Whereas a Class A misdemeanor might only result in one year in jail, a conviction on assault charges that involve strangulation, choking, or suffocation is a felony offense that carries a much longer prison sentence.

I guess my next question goes to Kungfoodude:  I assume you dabble in the martial arts to some degree, or you like Jackie Chan movies, but I understand that in grappling, you can choke someone out, causing them to lose consciousness at times.  While Karate may be consensual and that eliminates any type of assault charges, have you ever seen it get heated and a choke hold was employed, in your estimation, crossing the line?  Could that result in legal action?  Just curious.
