just thought you'd like to hear a legal point of view- blowing smoke in someone's face IS an assault, in many jurisdictions. the smoke, though "transparent" is actually capable of "touching" which is the definition of assault (an offensive touching). so dick's blowing smoke in jen's face is just as much an assault as her going after his cigarette. therefore, neither of them are innocent. which came first, the chicken or the egg, is a totally different discussion...

Dirty Hooker is there a joke about that Marty ?

I agree about the smoke blowing

According to the American Bar Association Journal, April, 1994, second hand smoke now qualifies as assault and battery. First a Georgia Court and then an Ohio court ruled that blowing smoke in someone's face is an intentionally harmful or offensive contact that the subject would take negatively; a definition of assault and battery. A person may sue if the conduct alleged is battery, even if the damage sought is as low as one dollar.

Leichtman v. W.L.W. Jacor Communications, Inc. Ohio Ct. App., No. C-920922.

Radio host blows smoke at anti-smoking advocate. Case may proceed. "No matter how trivial the incident, a battery is actionable even if the damages are only one dollar."

ya know what sexypetthing, I do not apperciate you calling me a hypocrite(sp). I just stated my mind about what I thought of some of the ED subjects, it is my opinion and it does not make me a hypocrite(sp)I haven't said much about amber or jameka because they are not talked about as much as the evel Dick and his daughter daniele. I do not know what makes you think you can call me anything. we are on a board to express our opinion and I have NEVER critized you or anyone really , except maybe shockalot, he really got under my skin, and I really resent you taking something I said put it in quotes and rip it up in a sarcastic manner, were you trying to piss me off?? it is my opinion, I should be able to say what I think without being challenged for it or being made to feel less because I did say it. Sometimes the people on this board are really mean and very opinionated about their own opinions and the heck with everyone elses, it gets very territorial around here, and I do not necessarily agree with everything everyone else says, but I am careful not to be insulting to what other people think. I am really po'd.

(quick note- i mispoke earlier, instead of "assault" i meant to say "battery" -an assault is putting someone in apprehension of an offensive touching; a battery is an actual offensive touching)

Leichtman v. WLW Jacor Communications, Inc. (Ohio) In this case, the court decided that intentionally blowing smoke in someone's face (not just merely smoking near someone) can constitute a battery.

R. J. Jacobs v. Barbara Bonser and Richard Graff, (Missouri). Intentionally blown smoke can constitute a battery (though you're not likely to get damages, since it's hard to prove an injury)

Fisher v. Carrousel Motor Hotel (California). Smoke particles qualify as objects that can "touch"

i'll look for more tomorrow, as for now, it's bedtime. hope that helped, goodnight!

Thanks arrowhead and lofo.

I remember being out in Vegas a few years back, and one of the blackjack dealers said they had a class action suit against the casinos about 2nd hand smoke. Interesting to see there are other cases out there.

Dick is an ass for doing what he did, no matter how trivial some may think it was.

And yes, I think Jen was wrong for what she did.

Dick is older than me (and I'm old!) and should know better...but after watching him for the last 7 weeks...I doubt he's more mature than an 8th grader.

Happens all the time in the bb house? Is it assault -

battery - felony - misdemeanor?

I think it's ASSault . . . .

I love Mortys. Do you realize that there are people who do not know Morty's exists? I have sent some people from work here to check it out. On topic, I haven't seen Jen on the After Dark tonight, she must be layin low.

Will was the one that said Marci was in a seperate sequester house because he complained when Howie got there.

OK That's different than leaving sequester... Jen flat out said she would walk home... Big difference...

If Jen is going, I'm glad she's going out with a bang. All of the negativity she's incurred from the Houseguests, especially Dicks abuses and pouring tea on her were terrible. I love the underdawg, go Jen. And all of the Houseguests ignoring her is horrible.

Jen!

The producers had to create a new rule of conduct or procedure becuase Jen found a grey area :animated_bouncy: Jen messed with the system and the man could not take a rebel and had to formulate a new rule to stop her .

Jen screwed up when she did not put up Jessica instead of Joe .Dick would have been gone but Jen did not want to go aganist the girls .
