Makes sense if your mentality is to price out people you don't like, that's basically the story of gentrification in big cities.
Because those with hate filled hearts want and need company and reinforcement in their moral conduct and crimes.
Not sure how this indicates that race played an issue. By the looks of it, the male in the hat appears to have a strong beef with someone, as if he's known him for a long time and is trying to hide something. "we never met...Johnny Ola." "Johnny Ola told me about this place, he brought me here."
A Wisconsin father was caught on camera shoving aside a school administrator to stop him from shaking his daughter’s hand during her high school graduation — an incident some are saying appears racially charged. “That’s my daughter,” the father, who is white, was heard saying as he leaped to the graduation stage and shoved aside Baraboo School District Superintendent Rainey Briggs, who is black, in late May. “I don’t want her touching him,” the father continued in the footage as he pushed Briggs aside — just moments before his daughter was to shake his hand as she received her diploma. Briggs was heard telling the father to take his hands off him, while the daughter and others on stage looked on with alarm and confusion. The father was escorted out of the building and was later charged with disorderly conduct, according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.

Did a law change? I would think that him simply putting his hands on Briggs should give them the ability to add assault to the disorderly conduct. Adding in that he then moved Briggs against his will should make a charge of assault hard to deny.
In Florida it would be a battery. Wisconsin doesn't have a formal charge for assault and, due to lack of apparent harm, it does not meet their statutory definition of battery. The conduct does meet their definition of disorderly conduct, it is a proper charge. As I indicated above, it is also a false imprisonment as defined by Wisconsin law. 947.01 Disorderly conduct. (1) Whoever, in a public or private place, engages in violent, abusive, indecent, profane, boisterous, unreasonably loud or otherwise disorderly conduct under circumstances in which the conduct tends to cause or provoke a disturbance is guilty of a Class B misdemeanor. (2) Unless other facts and circumstances that indicate a criminal or malicious intent on the part of the person apply, a person is not in violation of, and may not be charged with a violation of, this section for loading a firearm, or for carrying or going armed with a firearm or a knife, without regard to whether the firearm is loaded or the firearm or the knife is concealed or openly carried. Wisconsin Legislature: 947.01 Wisconsin penalty: Class B misdemeanor, max 90 days in jail and $1000 fine. In Florida: Battery is a touching against the will of another (or injuring another.) Max:1 year jail, $1000 fine Assault is putting someone in apprehension of the touching. Max 60 days jail, $500 fine In Wisconsin: Assault doesn't exist. Battery requires bodily harm.
Thank you. Is it common for states not to have assault as a chargeable crime? Seems like that and a requirement for harm to be the basis for battery would allow for a lot of bad behavior before rising to a crime.
My fault and I apologize. I was trying to make a snarky comment because I misinterpreted your comment as asking why Briggs wasn't charged with assault. For the record, I'm still waiting for some sort of confirmation that this was actually race related. Seems like an awful lot of jumping to conclusions for a situation we know very little about besides the video. There could be history with the superintendent we don't know about.
Thank you. I guess it’s legal up there to badger people all you want as long as there’s no harm! (I know that’s a bad joke, but couldn’t resist). I guess Red Foreman could have really put his foot up one of the boys asses and not get charged with battery as long as he didn’t injure them.
What doesn't make sense is if he's a racist, wouldn't he have already trained his daughter to be racist as she grew up and possibly even instructed her not to shake the guys hand when she got her diploma? Him jumping up there to do this is strange, even for a racist.
I read this AM She may have been suspended previously for bullying and cyber stalking or something, don’t know if it’s true. If it is though, he could just have a beef with the admin. Or it could be both, he could have a legit beef and took it out on the one black guy there.
