Message: [QUOTE="soxfan23, post: 3701141, member: 9842"] No, you can NOT be arrested for assault for a "profane and loud public insult", amazingly the 1st Amendment still exists in California. Though words alone are not assault, threatening to hit someone with an object is considered assault when accompanied by an action that shows intent to carry out the threat,(example threatening to hit somebody with an object then swinging and missing) However, when dealing with Domestic Violence situations, I believe prolonged verbal abuse can be considered assault under some of California's DV laws.
