People over using it, as in this case, absolutely know it conjures images of someone being battered, but can very often be nothing more than a threatening conversation. Im hardly suggesting it isnt a crime, however, the crime it seems to insinuate, is usually a completely different charge altogether, and a far more violent and serious one.

Actually, it's not overused. The legal definition for assault is very liberal. A tiny graze (with intent) can be considered assault.

Well, that's kind of my point. It's used because it elicits a scenario, that is almost always less severe than the word is generally thought to mean. Its used for a more sensational headline, when the words; Dumb guy raises voice at nice guy, is just boring as hell.
I suppose Im partially blaming people for being uneducated as to what the word means, and for news agencies exploiting that ignorance.

how is this relevant?
or even true. i would bet there are lots of trials where a white judge has thrown out a case in which the defendant was a white man.
'it is bad that a muslim judge would protect this muslim attacker when i bet that white men would not do that'
