[Husker] Purify Arrested

[Mark Landin]

If the charge remains as just assault, remember that this means Purify
did not actually injure or touch anyone. Basically, yelling at someone
to the point they felt uncomfortable, confronted, or threatened, is
assault. I'm not sure just what happened, but if there were an actual
physical element to this incident there would likely be battery
charges attached also.

So, it's fine with me if anyone thinks Purify acting in an aggressive
or threatening manner (which is all we can infer from an assault
charge) merits dismissal from the program, but I did want to point out
a common mistake that is sometimes made: that assault implies some
kind of physcial element. (Keller's uncivil behavior a few weeks ago
over a parking spot were also assault, but not batter).
