FYI: I don’t debate hypotheticals. I mute profanity and extreme divisive words. #civility #FactsMatter

I posted the full video so you can see what I saw before the alleged assault and battery here: instagram.com/reel/DXZeg2zjU…

I heard screaming and saw this Trader Joe customer assault the homeless man. Then the customer took his groceries and got in what appeared to be a ride share and left. Ballston, Virginia location.

Wrong. You cannot legally push someone who is “invading space.”
I know personally.
I was running in NW DC. Two men were walking side by side in front of me and took up the whole sidewalk. I had to run into the street to get around them.
Suddenly I felt a yank on my back and then the men pushed me down to the ground. Lots of witnesses called police. The man claimed to police he was angry that I “invaded his space” when I got back onto the sidewalk.
Well he was handcuffed, arrested, prosecuted and took a serious plea deal.
Assault and battery is a crime.

@emilymiller Invading space can get one shoved back.

@GREED_90 @IfindRetards Maybe read my bio to sound less ignorant

@Moe_Gallagher @redlegtigger It happened suddenly and then the store called the police. I waited a while but they never showed before I had to leave. I gave the store my videos. @ArlingtonVaPD

@emilymiller @redlegtigger If you thought the man in the green sweater was the aggressor, why didn't you call the police instead of videoing the encounter?

I think I just bought this man a pack of oranges on Saturday outside the Ballston Trader Joe’s. He asked if I had any money to spare, and I told him I didn’t have cash but asked if he wanted something from the store instead. He said, “Vitamin C.”

@SaintWah That’s very nice of you! He’s outside every time I’ve gone to this location. He asks for money and no one has cash anymore.

New fountains in Lafayette Park outside White House turned on for the first time.

@wabbey @RNN_RoyalNews Did Queen Elizabeth have a favorite hymn?
English
Today we remember Her late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, who was born one hundred years ago, #onthisday in 1926.
As a royal church, Westminster Abbey had a special relationship with the Queen. Over the course of her life, she came here often for state occasions and national services, and some of the most important moments of her life took place here.

@leadfreeH2OinDC Are you his lawyer?
He’s outside the TJ every day. Never bothered anyone.
English
@LauraFlowD @WashProbs Where did you see him “aggressively entering” his personal space ?
English
@emilymiller @WashProbs looks okay, a shove when someone is aggressively entering your personal space is proportional self defense
English
@DrWilliamBrady Are you his defense attorney?
That man sits outside Trader Joe’s every day. Never tries to steal groceries.
English
@emilymiller If he is attempting to take his property or invade his personal space ordinary force (a simple push) in this case would be warranted. Any verbal exchange would be important as well. Just because one makes physical contact first doesn’t automatically mean they are the aggressor.
English
@emilymiller There is no Trader Joe’s in Arlington’s Ballston neighborhood.

I’ve been the victim of battery twice.
Men cannot just hit people on the street.
In both cases, the men went to jail and the city pressed charges for both assault and battery.
And yes I am armed.

@emilymiller @noonehereyet What happened to you? "Oh, drunk guy is harmless" has really worked out well… why didn't the guy just give him his groceries, amiright?!? The man was warned and still encroached. One could easily claim fear for life and/or property to warrant the 'shove' you call 'assault.'

1. DC citizens are armed (I am)
2. This is one mile away in Virginia
3. Homeless are not “all crazy and unpredictable”.
4. Many homeless here are veterans with mental illness and/or substance issues
5. Some homeless are schizophrenic and they are scary and best not to engage.

@emilymiller The homeless in DC are all crazy and unpredictable and the citizens are unarmed. Better to not engage.
English
Surprised so many people don’t know the criminal definitions of battery or assault. If you do what you say, you’ll be charged.

@l0ftzilla @emilymiller If someone invades my space like that, they're a threat. A push to back them up isn't what I would call assault while being menaced. Maybe more was done?
