Incident involving high profile child celebrity

Thanks for all the serious responses. While I disagree with most of them, I think I'm smart enough to realize that when a group of people tell me I wouldn't win the case that I wouldn't win the case.

Oh my Lord. Of course he was immature - he's 14! YOU are the one who claims to be "a man". The BOY even gave you an advantage by using his "weaker" arm. Yet you're the one here whining.

And who said we are supposed to be impartial about ANYthing here? Wait, lemme guess..... you didn't read the ToS.

Now let me give you a piece of advice - the condom goes on your little head. So you don't pass along your lack of intellectual prowess to a little person.

I don't measure my masculinity by arm wrestles, I don't know why you keep putting 'man' in quotation marks.

And I don't measure strength by arm wrestles either. I think you'd need to be significantally stronger for your weak arm to be stronger than someone else's strong arm. And Jacob is not significantally stronger. I'm taller, weigh more than him and our arms were more or less the same size. If you're not going to be impartial, you could at least be respectful.

I'll stand out as the lone dissenting voice here.

It is generally accepted that an arm wrestling match ends when one hand touches the table. This is the point at which consent also ends. The continued unwanted touching constitutes a battery. But to prevail in a civil lawsuit, one would have to prove damages. I don't see any.

But lawyers are always looking to make a buck, so call around and see if you can find one to take your case. I'd be surprised if anyone would take the case on contingency, but almost any lawyer will work by the hour.

Good luck

LOL I had to look him up, too.

When I am not forced to listen to Fox, I have either silence (aaahh) or an eclectic collection of music...

Okay, yeah, THAT should be illegal ...

Assumed damages à la defamation per se, surely?

Thank you, it's comforting to know there's at least 1 person who agrees with me.

I wasn't aware that damages had to be proven, and there weren't any physical damages. My arm was in an awkward position and he was quite forceful which caused a little pain. My hand and my upper forearm went numb and tingly for maybe 2 minutes but obviously that isn't proveable. What I'm picturing is entering into a Saul Goodman-type firm and them telling me to put on a cast and exaggerate the injury which isn't what I want to do.

Something I mentioned earlier is false imprisonment, which is probably a moronic argument but I definitely wanted to leave the place. I did try to move my pinned arm several times to no avail. Do damages need to be proven for false imprisonment? (and is it only for prisons?)

Personally, I think your entire argument is moronic and quite frankly, I do not agree that holding the arm down for longer than the initial touch constitutes battery. Not in this case.

But considering that this whole thing is about how your masculine ego got bruised when you discovered that you weren't the biggest, toughest hombre in the place, what you need to do IMHO is grow the **** up and stop whining like a baby because someone hurt your poor widdle feelings.

There was no battery as you describe the incident and what I have quoted above of your post shows you have far less maturity than you earlier claimed to have.
