I agree. It's sensationalist. You can hit someone with a pillow and then get taken to court for assault

Legally it is assault though by our laws. Even poking someone with a finger can be called assualt. In the states they have two types: assualt and battery, battery being the non wound inflicting type like this case.

Yeah and people revert to legal definitions of assault when it suits them.

Ita assault, clear and simple.
You go stand in front of 40 adolescents and one comes and whacks you with a book or whatever and you not allowed to retaliate and then tell me what it is.
