I can't wait to hear about how the judge laughs at you!  They have people needing facial reconstruction after real assaults!
It is only fair that you buy this guy a sandwich. 

OP....  In your opinion, what would a proper punishment be?

---

If the judge laughs at me then that's fair, I'll take it.  Based on how I understand the law I should be 100% supported by the judge, however.
Ohhh so in order for an assault to be "real" there has to be facial damage... how interesting LOL. 
Nahh the dude shouldn't have wasted his sandwich by throwing it at me.  There's no reason I should buy him another one!

A proper punishment for the guy would be to have a misdemeanor assault charge on his record.  Maybe some anger management classes, too, if he acts up in court.

You were shuffling along like an old grandma then windmill swung your purse at the guys car. When you got  what you were asking for after taking the matter into your own hands you decide to call the law.

Why should you be able touch someones car without repercussion? 

There are 3 sides to a story, your side, his side and the truth in the middle. Id love to hear his side

As I said ealier, why are you on this site if you are straight up and down by the book.

Drop the case and cut the guy some slack for only doing a bit of high school push and shove. Let he who is without sin cast the first stone

OH So admitting to being a thief is any different than your gripes?.

I would not be a thief if I ate a hoagie that was put on my face by you.  You need to read up on the law, anonymous #4.

I have sympathy for your position. i really do, but in all honesty, you should really try to learn a lesson here about picking your battles.  You're pretty lucky that guy didn't take things further than he did.  You never know who you're fucking with, ya know?  I don't know that i wouldn't lay hands on someone that intentionally struck my vehicle and I'm a fairly mellow dude.

Let me tell you about a time that someone almost hit me in a parking lot.  I was crossing the driveway and a raised full size pickup barreled in, missing me by literal inches.  I was young and pissed off and feeling like i wanted to kung-fu the fuck outta the guy so i went marching over to his truck while hurling every insult and threat in my playbook.  The guy started to get out of the truck and he just kept getting out.  He didn't  need the runningboard to step down from the monster truck because he was close to 7 ft tall and near 300 lbs.  I had too much pride to stop reaming him out even though he could have squashed me like a bug.  Luckily, he just laughed me off, but would the alternative have been worth it?  Would bringing charges un-whoop my ass?  No and no.

The only other thing im going to say on the subject is that i hope you know now that if someone stops their car and gets out to confront you, they have already demonstrated an intent to use violence.  In the future, i would hope that you'll bear that in mind and be fully prepared to defend yourself should you find yourself in a similar situation.  Don't wait around to get squashed, either run right away or fight right away.
