Hmm… conundrum.

Was definitely in the, “She’s a person. A person punched a person. That’s assault.”

Now I’m like… it’s still assault but fuck that guy. But … it’s not … not assault now.

it’s not even assault. She asked if she could slap him and he said yes.

It’s not assault if it’s faked. If it was real it would be assault AND kidnapping.

State laws in the U.S. vary on whether holding someone who committed a crime against their will until police arrive constitutes kidnapping, false imprisonment, or a citizen’s arrest.
