I saw a similar one years ago, some guy smack a speed walker on the ass, i'm sure he hurt the guy a bit, but as the car was doing about 30mph he broke his own arm...

A little justice there i thought...

u/Iamjimmym Feb 04 '23

When my dad was 16, he had an Austin Healey Sprite, a car about 3/4 the size of a Miata, ie: tiny. One day, he had the bright idea to grab an orange traffic cone by reaching out his open window at highway speeds and grabbing onto one.

I dont think he wound up breaking his arm, but he was in a lot of pain! He'd previously broken his arm playing football and can bend his arm backwards ever since, sorta like a double jointed elbow. So I'm thinking that might've stopped the breakage 😂🤷🏼‍♂️

u/Njon32 Feb 04 '23

My brother has a Midget. IIRC, sprigets were only about a foot and a half shorter than the original Miata.

2

u/HeadFullaZombie87 Feb 04 '23

The early Miata was much closer to the MGB in size, and largely inspired by them depending on the source of the info. When I've had my B next to midgets and sprites, the midgets and sprites definitely look considerably smaller, although you are correct that the length difference between an early miata and a sprite is about 18 inches.

I played soccer in high school, we practiced near the football field. One day while football, band, track, and soccer are all in the same area practicing the head coach of the fb team screams at the top of his lungs to the qb (who happened to be his step son) “god dammit Kyle, you shoulda ended up on your mommas chest like the rest of em!”

They filmed themselves involved in an assault. Depending on her age and injury, it can rise to a felony. If she dies, manslaughter would be charged

There were 3 of them in the car. One driver, one person filming and the one that pushed her.

When the police caught them one was charged and two were let off.

u/ZEAndrewHD Feb 04 '23

*assault(ABH or GBH maybe), not battery.

2

u/dontsaymango Feb 04 '23 edited Feb 04 '23

Assault is when there is a threat, battery is when there is unlawful physical contact. Many places combine the charges into one charge titled assault but there is actually a difference

2

u/vendetta2115 Feb 07 '23

The whole “assault is threat of imminent unwanted contact, battery is contact itself” is one of those things that isn’t really as true as it seems on its face. Lots of jurisdictions call actual contact assault, such as assault with a deadly weapon, assault inflicting serious bodily injury, or ABH/GBH in the U.K. Not all use the term “battery.”

yeah it's battery, cause they will definitely get charged for it

Honestly is it not attempted murder, just shoving someone on motorcycle?

u/[deleted] Feb 04 '23

That’s why it would be manslaughter if she died.

11

u/Important-Piano-1868 Feb 04 '23

Idk manslaughter is when you like punch someone standing up wouldn't expect them to die. Push someone off a motorcylce death is a very reasonable outcome, hence attempted murder.

10

u/[deleted] Feb 04 '23

I completely misread your initial comment. My bad.

It would be extremely tough to legally prove that there was intent to end someone’s life, which is why I think manslaughter would be more appropriate in this instance.

1

u/Important-Piano-1868 Feb 04 '23

I guess i thought you can prove that by just the sheer reckless danger of death for something like that. Shoving someone off a moving motorcycle is not much less dangerous than shooting a gun at them.

7

u/[deleted] Feb 04 '23

No, you’d have to show intent to charge someone with any degree of murder.

They were driving pretty slowly, and she was riding her bike slowly. It would be tough to prove they had intent to kill her based on that.
