assault, Rules of.
 

Today, at school, there was a fight, it was provoked but the 'provoking' happened 24 hours before. Also during the fight a group of people joined in, so it was about 5-1.

I know that 5 - 1 would be seen as assault but who is guilty? all of them? the 4 that joined in?

Is the main person, who wanted a fair fight guilty of assault?

(also my freind is being punished for filming it, is this reasonable?)

All of them are guilty in my view. Anyone who willingly hurts someone else in that manner is guilty of assault. As for the guy filming, I think that's irresponsible as he should have stepped in to do something.

Sounds like the first grade just keeps getting tougher.

Hey, it does.

im sure you'd try to break up a fight involving 6 people. i know what id bloody well do...

The guy filming it shouldn't be punished at all. No one is required to do anything really. You'd like to think he'd be commended for gathering evidence that is, for all intents and purposes, irrefutable.

^ yeah i spose but you kind of have to ask what his motives were for filming it....
