I was videotaping the church services, which i have permission to do. And he (mr. x) got up, came over, and started to argue with me. And i told him to calm down and that the camera was not even in his direction but facing the opposite way. at this point he swings at me. From my videotape you can see him start to swing and then the camera goes all over the place because i tried to move out of the way. In the churches video tape you can see him swinging and you can see him hand hit my face (like i said he grazed my face).
But the odd thing is that after i called the cops, Mr. X and a buddy(mr. Y) of his were trying to tell the cops that Mr. X did nothing wrong. And while they were talking to the cops a friend of mine walked past. and they told the cops my friend threatened to kill Mr. Y.This never happened. They just made it up. The cops arrested my friend but only gave Mr. X a disorderly conduct ticket. I find that to be pretty weird. Id think that trying to physically harm someone was much more serious than threatening someone. And yes i do feel as though he is a threat to my safety and well being because this incident occurred two weeks ago and last week Mr. X intentionally bumped into me and then began to curse at me. I have tried to stay non-violent but sooner or later i will snap and probably end up cracking him in the jaw. So i would like some sort of punishment to make him think twice before he does something next time.
