How Bad Is This ?
I have had to deal next to Jehovah's witnesses regularly for the last six months coming to my door in the morning. And this morning after trying several times to get rid of them I lost it and giving of punched one of them in the stomach...Not hard and he wasn't even really hurt. Still, he looked pissed off. Anyway they moved out and I doubt they'll be back any ime soon but if they tell my parents how much sh*t will I be in? Or worse what if they relay the police could how much trouble could I get in ?
You committed assault upon this person. At the very lowest possible he should have called the police.
It is clear to me that you need anger regulation counseling. If you keep doing things like this you are going to punch the wrong person sometime and get the living daylights beaten out of you - worse, you could end up contained by prison.
Try using some self-control. I doubt if this is the first time you have done something like this. Get some abet.
You hold committed battery and could face time in sentence to prison.
Hey, here's a helpful hint: You're not required to answer the door. If you do answer the door and find out it's someone you don't want to speak with, you can shut the door. Sure, it's rather rude, but it's not as rude as punching someone in the stomach.
Punching out people who come to your door to speak to you about religion is not a mundane response. You might want to consider looking into more constructive ways of dealing with your anger.
Pretty discouraging..... Wow. Not only did you assault someone, you assaulted someone who works for God. I'd start praying dude....
I dont think you would get into that much trouble, considering you routinely asked them to go away. Unless your parents are witnesses themselves, I have an idea that the worst that can happen is a police officer talks to you about what happen. You can't do time, no worries! ;] I would've called the cops and had them arrested for tresspassing if you made it perfectly clear that you weren't interested.
You could be charged with assault. Jehovah's Witnesses hold a reputation for being pesty at times, so a jury might agree with you.
The thing you might hold to worry about is a lawsuit. That is, if you're a minor, your parents would have to verbs about it. The criminal charge might be less for a minor, but lawsuits can drag out for a long time and be very expensive.
Have your folks sermon to a lawyer and find out what needs to be done to avoid this kind of entity. My guess is that posting a no trespassing sign on your property will give you more legal leverage against anyone who came to your door uninvited.
And most importantly, do your smooth best to control your temper. Punching someone because you're frustrated can be a very rocky road to start your life on.
