Pemberton Township Mayor Matthew Bianchini, as seen in video shot by a reporter with the Pine Barrens Tribune, charged a vocal critic at last night's council meeting in a moment that is already making significant waves as it is simply unprecedented in local and regional politics. The mayor had to be held back by a former police chief who was the township's director of Community Development that he had fired just two weeks ago, and was further restrained and removed from the room by an ex-cop who is now a councilman, but not before the mayor told the resident, "I am getting you – I am fu***** getting you!” The resident then demanded the mayor's immediate arrest (which did not appear to occur). Ultimately, all of those involved in the altercation were asked to leave the meeting. We will have coverage in this weekend's paper of what led up to this and the reaction to the incident.

@Populus It was assault, whether you like it or not-

Under traditional common law, assault does not require actual physical contact or injury. The key requirements include:
• Intentional Act: The person must act on purpose (not by accident), though a specific motive or intent to cause severe injury is not always required.
• Imminent Fear: The action must make the victim reasonably expect that physical harm or an offensive touch is about to happen right away.
• Overt Conduct: Words alone are usually not enough; they must be paired with an overt physical action (such as raising a fist or lunging) that shows a present ability to carry out the threat.
