Simply?

A lot of people confuse "assault" with "battery."  Assault is intent to cause harm; battery is doing it.   

What if someone threatens to hit you with a Duracell?  Then it gets confusing.

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.

Never in person. I think there are ample videos of non-professional martial artists that have choked sometimes to death(police are the frequent abusers of this, hence why it was largely banned). If you don't know what you are doing, it's extremely dangerous because you are depriving the brain of oxygen, which can quickly turn serious. 

Truthfully, if you do know what you are doing, it's a good way to disable someone who is a danger without doing much harm to them at all(aside from a sore neck).

Turns out he wanted her to leave, she wouldn’t leave, he placed her outside, she got angry, likely drunk, and tried to press charges.

You grab your most valuable items (jewelry, cash, keys, cards, etc) THEN you exit the property. I've been there before, you cannot touch another human. I lucky knew the law enough. 

If you cannot avoid her ala she blocking the exits or car door, use a phone and call the cops then somehow get behind a locked door. Once the cops see the level of crazy you are dealing with they with help revolve the mess you're in. 

 

Bonus level of crazy that you never want to deal with- if she has a weapon and forces you to move from a location, by law she can be charged with kidnapping........ its a great way to rid yourself of a level 10 crazy hellbent person....

Here's my deal:

About every other script I write, I spend about two weeks going through police report after police report, looking at crime scene photos, going through autopsies, watching interview footage, sometimes even having to watch on scene video/audio of a murder in progress. 

It wears on a soul and honestly, I'm weary of the people who say "I can do this or that to another person" or "if they tried that with me" or the worst of them all "I believed they would stop, why didn't someone stop them?"

Human life is just too fuging cheap on planet Earth.
