Where in that post was he being physically shoved around?

But tacking on assault for putting his hand on your chest is a little extreme.
The state legislators apparently didn't think so, did they -- otherwise, what's the point of having the offense on the books? It's penalty matches the offense, so you're whole problem is that it's simple called 'assault'?
If I walk up to you and start pushing you around, are you going to sit there and do nothing, simply because I'm not physically injuring you?
Come on... again, if a person is a victim of a criminal offense, don't begrudge him his right to persue all avenues, -- if you want take your own self-defense and freedoms not quite as seriously as others, that's fine... allow him his security.
I see illegal imprisonment. I do not see assault.
