As long as party A and party B are both over 18 yrs of age, the assailant should be facing some sort of legal punishment, whether a weapon is used or not.
No argument there...but it needs to be reported to the police by the VICTIM......assault/battery/etc.... are crimes involving victims....no victim no crime....
A simple assault (a few fists thrown) should be more than enough to warrant police action.
Agreed again...but it needs to be reported by the victim. The police hear of assaults, home invasions, burglaries, rapes all the time that were never reported and thus do not get investigated. The police do not have the time to investigate those which are reported never mind those which are not.
The double standard is this was brushed under the rug simply because of who this particular individual was
Off base here...... if you think that the Worcester PD would "brush" an opportunity to jam up a sheriff you are mistaken.
...and as others have stated...if it was one of us the outcome surely would have been entirely different
Would it be in the papers that you lost your job?
