Hang on, what's the different between "insult" and "verbally assault"?
Assault is defined by law as any action, verbal, physical, or otherwise made toward a person, but they must perceive physical harm.

Like holding a fist up and pretending I was going to punch you, that could be assault if you actually thought I was going to harm you. But, it is not assault if you don't perceive that I am going to hurt you.

Example:

You yell, at a cop, "hey cocksucker, you are a douche." Not a crime.

But, if you yell, "hey cocksucker, ever seen what a baseball bat can do."

That could be and probably would be assault.

They talk about assault and battery a lot, and the "battery" part would actually physical harm.

Tone, mannerisms, what is actually said.

If you call me a "shithead". That's an insult.

If you tell me you're going to propose that I shut up or you come over and "fuckstart" my head. That is assault.

It reminds me of the old man that was hit by two cars somewhere in New England where people let him lay in the streets.
I remember that too.

Probably the best thing for anyone to do in a situation like that is to call 9-1-1 and make sure he doesn't get run over. Unless you're a properly trained first responder.

Any guy that hits a woman should be castrated.
Ze, you know that's a silly statement to make. I don't condone violence and I think it's very easy to hit people that are weaker than you, but there are situations in which it's just not that easy.
