Thanks for clarifying that. I think you're right that it's not likely to happen without some contact, or some other type of think that makes it taunting. Not likely.

But Rev seems to be saying that IS what he saw, and however unlikely it may seem to be, it may have happened as he's describing. Sounds like a very judgment call. He said that it served to get things tense and people were upset by the behavior, and that he'd have done something about it. Sounds reasonable to me.

And besides, this is a lot more interesting than yet another crossword puzzle in the book a friend gave me to keep me occupied.

I would think realistically that someone would push or hold to either maintain or to move someone away from that person. I am also not talking about gesturing that makes it seem like they are going to hit or contact the person in some kind of way. But if all we are talking about is someone standing next to someone, then I stand by what I have said about how this call does not pass the smell test.
