a man sold me his riding lawn mower for 1000 dollars, got a reciept, maintenance records and all the paper work, , 3 days later a man shows up at our property, opens the barn, and attempts to load it on the back of his truck, me and my brother intervene. pull or truck in front of his blocking his vehicles escape, he calls the police, cause we come out of our truck with shotguns. hides in his truck, until they arrive. police do theyre job and begin thier investigation. turns out his son stole the mower from this guy. he wanted his stolen property back. we not wanting to get involved with his family dispute, offered it back to him for the same 1000. he poked his fingers into my chest. the cops arrested him for assault. just for poking my chest with a finger,
so yeah a slap is an assault
tybalt is the instigator and thier just as many dik witnesses to his assault.
bottom line tybalt is reaching for straws, and knows jill is nieve enuff to believe anything.
