Reply to comment by bigtime_porgrammer in No charges after beer thrown at comedian, Point Pleasant Beach police say by JMcLooneAPP

It annoys me that being charged is predicated on her signing a complaint. The act happened regardless.

That's one path to him getting charged. Apparently the club is pressing charges.

Makes sense, won’t help the club’s reputation if performers are at risk for being assaulted on stage there without consequences.

If you want to charge someone with a crime you have to be able to have someone who will attest to actually observing the crime. I don’t know what other alternative you’d like?

There was a room full of people who can attest to it.

That’s implying those people would want to and then follow through with a case involving strangers going forward. You also have to get a victim to attest to it causing them to feel harm, threatened, etc, so either way she’d have to be involved

It's just amazing that the party of law, order, and personal responsibility (lol) always manages to do whatever the fuck they want, consequence-free.

Yeah I mean no argument from me there but that’s probably also a factor in why the comedian doesn’t want to bother in the first place

Can't she e-sign it? Or do a zoom where she swears out the complaint? Didn't COVID teach us anything?
