What would the punishment be for beating a man up in USA?

Money punishment?

[misfittoy]

thats if you actually dont get shot or your ass kicked and you live to be arrested? its assault number one, go directly to jail where you will be the bell of the ball, time, money would be based upon the severity of it, there is no set amount it varies

[legalboxers]

Depends on the state. In the state with a 1 Star Rating - that person would be shot. In other states, criminal charges, if the person has a criminal record, would also determine on how much jail time. Up to the D. A.

[Vivaldi]

Shot? What?

[legalboxers]

Texas believes in bullets.. not baseball bats. They would bring a gun to a knife fight.

[Vivaldi]

The person would be shot by police? I asked the punishment by goverment.

[Vivaldi]

Suppose a guy like me who doesn't have fighting friends get beaten up.

Now you can answer more clearly, I guess.

I don't think police would shoot who beated me up.

[legalboxers]

not the police.. other people. Its ok.. as my original statement. depends on the state and the people who try the cases. Its assault.

[Vivaldi]

Not everybody who gets beaten up have fighting friends who fight back for him, though.

[Vivaldi]

I was asking about what Goverment does about it.

[legalboxers]

It is on a State -> City -> Town breakdown - each government identity handles it different ways. The Government makes laws where if a person is assaulted it is either money or jail time. It is entirely up to the courts

ty for MHO

[Wise4myage]

Likely just probation unless you have a record.

[Vivaldi]

What is probation? Money punishment?

[Wise4myage]

It means you have to behave and stop getting into fights, or you will go to jail.

[Vivaldi]

No money punishment really?

[Wise4myage]

Maybe, depends on the judge.

[mandyfire98]

It's a crime. It's assault.

[mandyfire98]

You'll go to jail.
